This initiative will further motivate talented scholars to dedicate themselves to learning and inspire them to pursue research as a viable and rewarding career option.”
Two-thirds of IIM Kozhikode’s DPM graduates have been placed as faculty members in prestigious national institutes (like IIMs and Indian Institutes of Technology - IITs) and esteemed universities in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Other DPM graduates have received job offers from reputed corporate organisations.
