The IIM Kozhikode Alumni network brings together graduates of a variety of programmes right from its inception. The collective strength of this alumni network is the backbone of institute. IIM Kozhikode Alumni Association (IIMKAA) acts as a bridge between the illustrious alumni and their alma mater, giving the current students and the alumni a chance to develop positive synergies and grow together in this process.

There are two IIMK alumni associations:

• Alumni Association, Residential Programmes (AARP) – Those who pursued full-time residential programmes (e.g., PGP, PGP-LSM, PGP-Finance, PGP-BL, PhD, etc.).
• Alumni Association, Non-Residential Programmes (AANRP) – Those who pursued long-duration executive programmes (e.g., EPGP, EPGP- Kochi, PhD in Practice Track, Diploma programmes, EMEP/EPGC programmes, etc.).

Each group (AARP and AANRP) will have internal elections to elect a 9-member governing body.
