IIM Kozhikode Launches Batch 11 of General Management Programme in the Age of AI: Dates, Fee, and Curriculum

The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIM Kozhikode) has officially announced the launch of Batch 11 of its flagship General Management Programme (GMP) in the Age of AI.

Ranked #3 among management institutes in India by the NIRF rankings, IIM Kozhikode designed this 10-month executive certificate course specifically for working professionals, managers, and aspiring team leaders. The programme bridges the gap between traditional functional leadership and modern, AI-driven business decision-making.

Key Highlights & Batch 11 Overview

Batch 11 focuses on empowering mid-career and senior professionals with data-driven decision-making, strategic digital transformation, and cross-functional leadership.

Key Takeaway: The hybrid structure allows working managers to earn elite management credentials and executive alumni privileges without stepping away from full-time careers.

Industry Context: Why General Management is Shifting to AI

Modern enterprise decision-making is moving beyond isolated technical teams. AI and predictive analytics are reshaping strategic planning, operations, and resource allocation across business units.

• Widespread AI Deployment: Industry reports show that 93% of Indian businesses intend to deploy AI-driven digital assistants within the next 18 months.

• Leadership Focus: Approximately 98% of Indian business leaders have prioritized AI integration in their enterprise strategy.

• Talent Shortages: Around 46% of HR executives cite skill gaps in technology-led strategic leadership as a major operational challenge.

IIM Kozhikode’s updated curriculum directly addresses these demands by teaching executives how to apply generative AI, analytics, and risk frameworks to everyday business choices.

Toppers Names and Academic Achievements

Official Note on Academic Recognition:

Executive Certificate programmes like the General Management Programme (GMP) are structured for working professionals and evaluate performance through continuous group projects, case discussions, business simulations, and capstone presentations. Unlike full-time residential degree courses (such as the Post Graduate Programme in Management – PGP), IIM Kozhikode does not publicly publish standard merit rank lists or “Toppers Names” for executive batches. Top-performing cohorts and outstanding project teams are commended internally and awarded merit recognitions directly during the on-campus immersion module.

Executive Alumni Benefits

Upon successful completion of the programme, graduates unlock formal IIM Kozhikode Executive Alumni Status, providing:

• Professional Networking: Access to an active network of thousands of executive alumni across major industries like IT, Finance, Consulting, and Operations.

• Alumni Portal Access: Dedicated credentials to IIM Kozhikode’s exclusive alumni database (Kasebook).

• Campus Privileges: Official Alumni ID Card, subscription to institute research publications, and access to campus guest facilities at alumni rates.
