So, you're weighing a few options: joining IIM-Kozhikode, giving the CAT another shot, or aiming for PGPX with some work experience. Let's break it down:

IIM-Kozhikode: The 'IIM' tag is valuable, but the fees are pretty steep, around ₹19.00 lakh. Plus, the average package is about ₹16-17L, which you might already be earning after a couple of years. If you're really keen on an MBA, it's a solid choice.
Retake CAT: CAT scores can be unpredictable, but with focused prep, you can ace it. If you're up for another year of study and confident in your abilities, this could land you a better B-school.
PGPX (e.g., ISB): This is a good option if you're into IT and want to climb the ladder quickly. It needs dedication, but it can be worth it.

Its a Question about your future!
