A
proposal by Dr. M.K.Chaudhuri to set up the Institute under the name of
“Institute for Planning and Administration of National Economy” was forwarded
to Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru, the then Prime Minister and Chairman, Planning
Commission, Government of India. A study tour was undertaken by Dr. M.K.Chaudhuri
during 1964-65 to acquire first hand knowledge about the working of similar institutions
in Europe. A working paper on Regional Planning was circulated under the name of “Indian
Institute of Planning” in 1969.

The Institute was established in 1973. The founder Director

took over as Research Professor and Director after
resigning from professorship of Indian Institute of
Management, Bangalore. The first residential Full-Time
Post Graduate Diploma Programme commenced on 12th
August, 1974, with students selected through admission
tests-cum-interviews held in Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay and
Bangalore. Admission tests-cum-interviews have so
far been held in 15 centres, namely, Ahmedabad,
Bangalore, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Mumbai, Pune,
Calcutta, Chandigarh, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad,
Dr. M.K.Chaudhuri
Jaipur, Lucknow, Chennai, Patna and Trivandrum.

IIPM provides students with more than 2,00,000 sq. ft.
of built-up infrastructure through its various campuses. IIPM is headquartered in Delhi’s
premier institutional area (Qutab Institutional Area) where it operates from two buildings, the
New IIPM Tower & the Old IIPM Tower which together provide more than 60,000 sq.
ft. of state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Institute has a more than 5 acre campus in Mehrauli,
New Delhi. IIPM has also another campus of about 5 acres 24 miles away from the centre
of Delhi (near Gurgaon, a Delhi Metropolitan Area Town). IIPM has a branch in Mumbai.
The Mumbai classes are held in IIPM Tower, an architectural wonder situated in Bandra -
the heart of Mumbai. Further IIPM branches are also there in Bangalore, Chennai, Pune,
Ahmedabad & Hyderabad - all operating from similar modern buildings with state-of-the-
art facilities. Besides, Centre for Advanced Management & Faculty Development with
residential facilities, is located in Simla.

Aims & Objectives

T he Indian Institute of Planning and Management aims at initiating training

and research on problems of development that must be solved for
realising planned national objectives. Unfortunately education in India has
still remained primarily oriented towards the needs of the private sector and
has overlooked the specific requirements of the
public sector. We have even failed to do justice
to the private sector in as much as we have not
succeeded in impressing upon the students the
basic framework within which the private sector
has to operate in our country. The scope and role
of the private sector in our country, in the context
of national economic planning, is quite distinct
from that of the private sector in the free market
economies originally developed through colonial
exploitation.

Problems of development of the private and the

public sectors are, therefore, to be studied and
analyzed carefully in the background of national
economic planning. Otherwise, we shall not be
able to translate the laudable goals of plans into
physical realities, however sophisticated the
planning models may be. Inspite of the basic
differences that exist between the private and the
public sector, once the strategy for planned
 3

development has been formulated, both the

sectors must draw up their operational plans in a
complementary way to realize the planned
objectives. Otherwise, we may find them working
at cross purposes.

The Indian Institute of Planning

Naveen Chamoli ‘95 and Management has set before
it the twin tasks: to reorient
education and research towards the needs of
both the sectors and to establish the link between
the national economic planning and the

Faculty

T he faculty comprises of more than 250 permanent

members and more than 150 visiting members.
The permanent members of the faculty are mostly
IIPM alumni with exceptional academic records and
industry experience. Roughly 35% of the permanent
faculty at IIPM are women. They are phenomenally
committed to the cause of creating future
entrepreneurial managers with a difference; Managers
who would not only concentrate on profit maximisation
but also on welfare maximisation. They divide their
time among four complementary activities : research,
Mr. Vasant Sathe
course development, teaching and consulting. They
During a seminar on :
devote a lot of time to their students ”Poverty Eradication of Indian Masses”

We need to understand that sustainable growth can be achieved only by committing

ourselves to macro level growth strategies that would encompass the bottom 80% of
the population and not just the top 20%. This conscientious approach would make
a growth rate of 12% per capita per annum possible. In the light of globalization of
Indian economy and capitulation of Indian brands, it is imperative for tomorrows
leaders to be aware of the above mentioned facts, so that they can face with
confidence the emerging global challenges of international markets, while remaining
committed to remove massive poverty of Indian masses within a generation... While
some wealthy nations enjoy the luxury of material a plenty, the fact remains that more than twice the
number of people killed in the 2nd world war die every year of hunger and curable diseases and yet we
fail to realise that unrestricted satisfaction of all desires is not conducive to human well being nor is it
the way to happiness or even maximum pleasure. When these wealthy nations today talk of being one
with rest of the world and of concepts of global village, their talks simply stink of hypocrisy. The time
has come for India to lead the way in showing that this carnage can be stopped with the help of
determined leadership and long term committed vision... The Indian managers need to develop a strong
vision for their companies and most importantly for the people who work for them apart from having a
terrific sense of commitment for the country, great motivational skills and leadership qualities. A growth
rate of 12% per capita per annum would imply that India can beat U.S.A. in terms of purchasing power
parity within the next 25 to 30 years and become economically the strongest country in the world. For
this the government of India needs to support the Indian organisations with suitable pro people, pro India
policies which would help Indian organisations to become stronger and compete in the world markets
successfully... Future leaders must be aware of this and not remain intellectually handicapped.

not only to help them overcome their professional problems

but also to contribute to their personal development. The
faculty associated with IIPM maintains an exceptional
standard in conducting leading - edge research that is
directly related to course development. Every year new

dimensions are added to the existing class material. During an informal get together with the
faculty of IIPM
Research has helped IIPM develop its own subjects like
“Beyond Principles of Management and Economics”
wherein students are taught concepts like survival of the
weakest, the law of increasing marginal utility, apart from
the age old concepts of survival of the fittest in the market
economy and law of diminishing marginal utility etc. IIPM
has developed its own model to calculate the contributions
of each member of the society in order to create a just
and equitable society. Ever since its inception, the faculty

more happier as well as a growth oriented society.
Therefore, all seminars conducted at IIPM are on topics
oriented towards growth and well being. The students
thus get a chance not only to learn from the faculty but
also to discuss and debate the concepts they learn with
the decision makers of the economy. The invitees have
comprised amongst others, people like Prof. Md. Yunus
from Bangladesh, who has been applying welfare aspects
of economics to real life situation to single handedly try
and change the future of millions of people in his country
through splendid visionary entrepreneurship which has
resulted into the creation of the internationally acclaimed

B-School ranking & awards

Inspite of being invited by various

magazines, IIPM has constantly tried
to stay out of various B-Schools
rankings taken out by them. This
stems out of the fact that IIPM
believes that its course contents are
far superior to those of any other
institute in the country. IIPM has
strong reservations on the methodol-

ogy applied by most of the magazines to rank B-schools. Being an insti-

tute totally focussed on quality education and faculty it believes that
educational institutes should be jugded primarily on these grounds (most
of these B-school rankings give a maximum of only 20% to 30%
weightage to the same). However, often magazines take out rankings
without IIPMs participation - based upon student perceptions etc. In such
rankings, IIPM has invariably been in the top 10 to 15 B-schools in
India. In a country with more than 1000 B-schools, this speaks volumes Model and ex Miss India Ms. Meyhar

Industr y Interface

IIPM is today a front runner when it comes to Industry

Interface between the institute, its faculty, its students and the
corporate world. No wonder it was ranked 4th in the Out-
look survey, in the Industry Interface section. The entire set
of corporate consulting activities are carried out through
Planman Consulting - IIPMs strategic alliance partners for
corporate activities. Planman Consulting also takes care of
the entire range of international alliances, placement activities,
media initiatives, marketing, growth & expansion activities of
IIPM. Planman today employs more than 200 MBAs work-
ing through 10 branches in India, UK & Canada. More than
75% of the consultants at Planman are IIPM graduates.
Through Planman, members of IIPM faculty are always
engaged in numerous consulting assignments which in turn
brings awesome industry exposure into the fourwalls of IIPM
classrooms. Students invariably also become a part of a
large number of industry consulting projects during their stay
at IIPM. Planman further organises executive development
programmes, undertakes T&D activities, HR Consulting,
Marketing Consulting, Market Research, CEO Search, Event
Management, Media Consulting, TV & Film Production in
association with IIPM. Established in 1996 with intellectual
resourcing from IIPM, it is today Indian’s largest multi-
interest Indian multinational management consulting firm. Its
clients include every other Fortune 500 Co. as well as
leading Indian organisations.
CEOs and Presidents of India Inc. attend workshops
organised by Planman - IIPM regularly to hone their leader-
ship as well as corporate strategy skills.

Academic System
Method of Teaching

The Institute uses case study methods (no overemphasis) along with
class lectures to encourage active participation of the students in the
total process of learning. Trimester Project/Research Project/Project
Feasibility Report are essential parts of the curriculum with the aim to
acquaint students with practice so that not only do the students have
a sound theoretical background, but also have a relevant experience
in application of theory to practical situations.

Lecture Hours

No method is a substitute for a rigid academic schedule. To create an

atmosphere of the pressure found in the competitive environment and
long hours of work, the average IIPM full-time students have to
attend a cumulative of more than 1250 contact hours, in addition to
trimester projects (on-the-job training) etc. This is about much more
than what is prescribed for M.B.E. programme.

Attendance

Failure to attend any class results in an automatic deduction of 2

marks per class from the marks awarded in the trimester examination.
100% attendance is rewarded with 5 additional marks.

A fine of Rs. 25/- per class (of 45/50 minutes) will be imposed on
students, if their attendance is less than 80%. The same will be
collected at the time of handing over Attendance Certificate/Final
Marksheet/Testimonial.

Campus
In New Delhi, IIPM has a sprawling eight storied
building : Old IIPM Tower & a 40,000 sq. ft.
building on 1 acre of land : New IIPM Tower, both
in Qutub Institutional Area, the most prestigious
institutional area in the country. They are equipped
with an airconditioned auditorium, conference room,
three computer dromes, a library spread over one
whole floor etc. apart from airconditioned classrooms
and canteen. Similar IIPM Towers with
exceptional facilities are also there in Bandra,
Mumbai as well as in Chennai, Pune, Bangalore,
Hyderabad & Ahmedabad.

Delhi classes are also held in our campus in South

Delhi, just 15 minutes from AIIMS, New Delhi. It
spreads across more than 5 acres of lush green. It is
amazingly beautiful. Needless to say, it is the largest
Campus amongst institutes of its kind in Delhi. It has
facilities for Billiards, Pool, Mini Golf, Tennis etc. The
architecture is from the era bygone, with a Scottish
flavour. The castle type buildings, mysteriously
located between lush green landscapes and thick
woods, provide the ideal setting for academic
pursuits.

The IIPM Campus in Gurgaon, is our residential

campus meant mainly for research activities etc.
Unlike other national institutes, our residential campus
(which looks like a rural hermitage) has been de-
signed to incorporate the ideal of austere and simple
living and to help inculcate non-elitist attitude. Set in
the idyllic green surroundings of the countryside, far
away from the noise and pollution of the metropolitan
city, it is an ideal place for academicians to concen-
trate on research. It is equipped with a swimming
pool apart from facilities for various sports. Research
fellows may opt to live in campus hostels. Campus
hostel accommodation is also available for partici-
pants of short-duration Rural Development
Programmes. Faculty Development Programme,
Executive Development Programmes etc.

“IIPM’s initiative for students are excellent and very

valuable” Niels Christiansen - Director, Nestle S.A.- Vevey, Switzerland
(IIPM students visit Nestle headquarters in Vevey every year during their
GOTA trips).
“IIPM helps create world class experiences for
students”, Dr. Piero Morosini - Head Mergers & Acqusitions, IMD,
Lausanne (IIPM students have classes in IMD, Lausanne, every year during
their GOTA trips)

Residential Accommodation for Students

Students coming from various states can opt for

the residential accomodation offered by IIPM. Past
experience indicates that students living in small
groups of two under the care and supervision of
landlords’ families are able to devote more time to
studies than students living in large groups in cam-
pus hostels. After hectic class hours, students also
enjoy relatively quiet family atmosphere during the
evenings. The Institute has, therefore, arranged for
simple and ordinary rooms scattered throughout
the cities where it has its branches, to provide
residential accommodation to students. Only such
accommodation is available to students who may
need it. Female students will be refunded propor-
tionate seat rent whenever their guardians arrange
for their accommodation on their own.

IIPM is the only institute in India to have contributed to Indian management and
understanding of Indian economy through a #1 best selling book - “Count Your
Chickens Before They Hatch”. “The Great Indian Dream” is releasing soon.
Concepts like the iconoclastic “Theory ‘i’ Management”, “Happy Capitalism”,
“Survival of the Weakest”, “Law of Increasing Marginal Utility” and “The Trickle-Up
Theory” originated at IIPM and are taught to students at all the branches of IIPM
by Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri himself. To maintain uniformity of academic
standards in all its branches, many of IIPMs star professors travel to all the
branches of IIPM to take classes.

Three Year Integrated Programme 34

It has been observed that MBA Level

education is offered to students of all
graduation streams (History, Biology,
Geography, Engineering etc.) therefore,
making it obvious that MBA education
academically, has got nothing to do with
graduation. Thus, IIPM pioneered this
three year full time programme for
students after 10+2 wherein, they do
the same course that the post graduate
students do in the second and third year
of their course. In the first year a
bridge course in management is given to
them, so that they become more ca-
pable of competing with the graduate
students in the second and third year of
their studies.

GOTA
GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY & THREAT ANALYSIS (GOTA)

In the light of globalization, students entering IIPM have to undergo a study tour to a selected
country in Australia, Africa, Asia, America, Europe or China. For the Two Year students
GOTA is typically between 8/10 days while for the Three Year students GOTA lasts for about
17/21 days depending upon flight availability etc.
Students however can extend this trip on their own
expense. IIPM bears the entire cost of this
programme for all students. This cost includes cost of
air travel (from the nearest international airport) to
abroad and back as well as the entire cost of
boarding, lodging, food and faculty. Students have to
obtain passport and visa for the country of their
visit. If they are not given a visa IIPM can not be

held responsible. During the programme the students Globalization & International Security : the role of United Nations
are taught a special paper on Global Opportunity
and Threat Analysis with assistance from faculty of
the country visited, whenever available. The idea is to
make the students aware of how a truly global
economy works and also to bring a fresh outlook to
life conducive to entrepreneurial learning.

Students would be sent in study groups of minimum

15. The students should note that they do not have
the choice to decide which country to visit. The
institute’s faculty members would decide the same.
During the course apart from classes students are
also taken around the city for sight seeing as well as At the World Bank headquarters in Geneva, with Mr. Sfeir Younis

industry visits.
in a developing country
When all the students come back after their visits to
various countries they share their experiences and the knowledge gained from the interactions
with the other students of the institute. This creates an intellectually stimulating and exciting
environment in the campus and students get a first hand experience of how things work in
other countries. During the GOTA visits IIPM has conducted seminars and lectures in
association with organisations/institutions like : IMD, Lausanne ; The United Nations ; ILO
; The World Bank ; Geneve Financial Centre ; Credit Suisse ; Nestle ; Insead ; IMI,
Europe etc.
Management experts who taught our students during the GOTA (Global Opportunity & Threat Analysis) Programme in
GENEVA comment...

“The initiative of IIPM to bring their students all the way to our
headquarters in Europe is invaluable in giving students a “real life”
feel of the issues facing the corporates and IIPM is to be
congratulated on inclusion of this initiative in its course.” Ernest J.
Pope, Sr. Vice President (worldwide), Nestle, S.A., Vevey,
Switzerland (previously M.D., Nestle, Australia).
“I think IIPM’s effort in bringing students to Europe is “Superb”.
The more such exchanges take place the more confident people will
become... The students also revealed clear signs that they understand a

can approach the solution for the same in a systematic turing in the libralized scenario

manner. The projects must provide sufficient indication

that the student is competent to assimilate skills acquired
in various disciplines for successful application to solve a
complex problem. Normally a student works in an
organisation on a practical assignment for about three to
nine months. He writes a project report connected with
practical assignment. (See also placement service).
Projects can also be completed on the basis of research
materials available in libraries. Apart from the above
there are various other projects and training assignments
which are compulsory for all students at IIPM, as will be

The Great Indian Dream Foundation

The Aurobindo Chaudhuri Memorial ‘Great
Indian Dream Foundation’ was launched on
28th March 2000. It is a collaborative effort
between IIPM and Planman Consulting.
Aurobindo Chaudhuri was a bright student
of IIPMs batch of ‘92. As a part of IIPMs
rural development programmes, on 21st Oc-
tober 1994 he had gone to the IIPM campus
in Gurgaon to take classes for a batch of
rural students. An unfortunate accident dur- Aurobindo Chaudhuri

us. His spirit of working for a better India
lives on through the Great Indian Dream
Foundation (GIDF).

Inter national Alliances & Degrees
Students joining IIPM are eligible for an
MBA Degree from International
Management Institute, Eu-
rope. Through Planman Consulting, IMI,
Europe and IIPM have entered into a
strategic alliance wherein IMI, Europe has
recognised IIPM course as equivalent to
their MBA course. IMI, Europe is one of
the leading Business Schools of Europe.
Students enrolling for the 3 year

the Centre for Enterprise Management) will
also be eligible for a BBA Degree from
IMI, Europe. Professors from IMI visit
IIPM twice every year to take classes as
guest speakers on international and Euro-
pean management practices. Students are
further taught by IMI proffessors during
their GOTA programme after which they
become eligible for the IMI degrees. Only
those students who opt to get the 100%
credit certification from IIPM are eligible
for the IMI Degree. Students do not have
to bear any additional costs for the MBA
and BBA Degree of IMI.
All IIPM students further get benefitted by
IIPM’s unique and globally acclaimed
Global Outreach Programme which brings
to IIPM, every year, proffessors from the
following 15 leading institutions: Harvard,
Columbia, YALE, Wharton, LSE, Oxford,
Cambridge, IMD, INSEAD, Stanford,
Stern, Sloan-MIT, GSB-Chicago, Berkeley
& Kellogg.
The lectures are scheduled in a manner so
that it ensures that students of all IIPM
branches interact with atleast one
proffessor each from each of the above
mentioned institutions.
These Degrees are awarded by IMI after teaching IIPM students during
their GOTA trips and in recognition of IIPMs excellent standard of
education and training in entrepreneurship. IIPM teaches only its
own programmes and does not teach IMIs programmes. These Degrees
also do not come under the purview of AICTE, UGC or other acts.

Placement Procedure
E ach year more than 150 companies come
to campus to make presentations and to
interview students. For the same purpose IIPM
has offices in Delhi as well as in Mumbai, Ban-
galore, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Toronto &
London.
Last year saw a record of more than 200 com-
panies visiting the IIPM campus for placements
(see ALUMNI & PLACEMENTS page for
further details). All the eligible students who re-
quired placements got placed from the campus
itself. It has been observed that more than 70%
of each class usually accepts offers from compa-
nies that recruit on campus. Many students use
IIPM resources to conduct networked job
searches, targetting smaller companies, entre-
preneurial ventures, and not-for-profit
organisations.
The Institute’s placement service assists eligible
students in securing suitable jobs/trimester
projects. For this purpose the office keeps ef-
fective contacts with firms all over India, main-
tains and performs liaison work between pos-
sible employers and the Institute’s students (stu-
dent must, however,
note that the Institute is
a place for serious aca-
demic pursuit and not an
agency to provide em-
ployment). No fee is
charged for the service
and no binding obliga-
tion to find a job/trimes-
ter project for any stu-
dent is accepted by the
Institute.
Attractive stipends/
scholarships are paid to
students during
trimester
projects. De-
pending on the
recruitment
policy of
organisations The proud winner of Nestle
students are face painting competition
usually ab-
sorbed as Junior Executive in appropriate pay
scales with allowances, if their performance is
found satisfactory during the period of trimester
projects.
To be eligible for Trimester Project/Placement
Service of the Institute a student has to satisfy
the following criteria : (a) he/she has to secure
an average of 50% marks ; (b) he/she has to
obtain 55% marks in oral as well as in written
executive communication ; (c) he/she has to pass
90% of the papers examined’ (d) he/she has to
clear all fees due to the Institute ; (e) he/she has
to attend 80% of all classes.
Students failing to quality for placement service/
trimester projects or unsuccessful in obtaining
trimester projects have to write project feasibil-
ity report based on library research, market re-
search, and surveys.
Job & Career Opportunity
IIPM Students complete the programme at a
relatively younger age (21/23). After about 5/4
years’ experience as Executives, their gross sal-
ary compares well with students of the same age
(26/27) coming out of other national Institutes,
which select mostly engineering graduates, many
of them having 2/3 years previous work experi-
ence. Students, opting to become entrepreneurs
afterwards, are entitled to consultancy service of
the Institute at a nominal cost throughout their
active life.

Admissions
E-PAT: The Real Test of Management Aptitude
IIPMs Admission teat E-PAT (Entrepreneurship & Planning Admission Test) is based upon a written test,
group discussion and interview. Unlike CAT, IIPM’s admission test E-PAT is based more on parameters
pertaining to EQ (Emotional Quotient) and overall personality mapping since it has been globally
observed that high IQ often takes a backseat to high EQ when it comes to Entrepreneurship, Management
and dealing with human beings. Thus, the total scores of the written test, group discussion and personal
interview are compiled together to compose the final score. Success in E-PAT is more likely to make you
a better future leader than success in any other examination focused primarily on IQ. E-PAT is conducted
throughout India in more than 15 centres.

Rights Reser ved
T he Institute was registered as an Educational
Institute under Society’s Registration Act
1860. However, the Institute is neither affiliated to
any University nor has sought de-jure recognition
for its Academic Programmes from any statutory
body. Hence, the Institute is an academically inde-
pendent and self-financed autonomous body. IIPM
conducts Two Year/Three Year Programmes in
Entrepreneurship.
Acceptance/Recognition (de-facto) of Institute’s
academic programme is indicated by the list of
companies which have so far offered placement/
Summer/Semester projects to IIPM students. The
Institute is also listed by Government of India,
Ministry of Labour in Career Information Series as
well as by private bodies which counsel on educa-
tional opportunities (e.g. Career and Competition
Times-a Times of India Publication, November,
1991). The Institute is known for its unique
programmes in Planning and Entrepreneurship.
IIPM conducts its own programme in Planning &
Entrepreneurship (a non professional course). Be-
cause of inclusion of subjects related to National
Economic Planning and our effort to integrate them
with various functions of an Entrepreneur, (who has
to lead a team of Executives specialized in diverse
fields), our two-year programme’s de-jure recog-
nition as equivalent to any degree is superfluous for
any judgement on academic standing of the Insti-
tute. Students, who are concerned about statutory
recognition, need not apply for the programme.
The Institute reserves the right to emphasise this
difference in approach and maintain its academic
independence.
The Institute reserves the right to change the re-
quirement for admission, graduation, content of
courses, fees charged or to make any other suit-
able modification should these be deemed neces-
sary in the interest of the Institute. All disputes are
to be settled in Delhi Courts only.
The Institute also reserves the right to drop any
programme on account of administrative and other
constraints. If a course is dropped before com-
mencement of the programme, students will be re-
funded all fees paid by them. If a course is dropped
in the middle of the programme due to circum-
stances beyond the control of the Institute, stu-
dents will be refunded (after one year) fees paid in
advance for the remaining part of the programme.
If a course is however, dropped in the middle of
the programme due to students’ agitation, etc. fees
paid by the students will not be refunded.
The Institute will, however, try to help innocent
students to complete interrelated courses (equiva-
lent to atleast 66 credits) through correspondence
materials (and, if possible, through occasional con-
tact programmes) in order to avoid disturbance of
academic atmosphere by unwanted elements.
Any concession achieved from the management
under coercion will not be regarded as binding on
the Institute.

Management Gurus Speak...

It is my pleasure and privilege to state that I have been associated with The Indian
Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) since its inception. I have myself grown
with the Institute, as a teacher, as a friend and philosopher to Prof. Chaudhuri and
various batches of students over years since 1973. Based on my long, association with
IIPM, I state that the courses taught at the Institute cover not only regular MBA curricu-
lum, but also additional inputs of Economics with special emphasis on macro level
planning and National Economic Management, which have bearing on corporate
management... At the current state of environment when we talk about global business
management, this additional load on students are thus exposed to a variety of subjects
in greater detail. In view of this. I have no hesitation in admitting
that the IIPM course is superior to any regular Post Gradu-
ate Diploma/Degree Course exclusively focussed on just
MBA curriculum.
Dr. M. Adhikari, 6th of March 1995 (when he was Dean, Faculty of
Management Studies, University of Delhi).

... the course content of the Planning and Management Programme of The Indian
Institute of Planning and Management covers all the subjects taught in MBA course in
the Indian Universities. In additional, the course content of IIPM included 16 and above
credit courses to integrate the management programme with specialization in Na-
tional Economic Planning. I have no hesitation to say that IIPM’s
two year programme in Planning and Management is su-
perior to standard MBA courses.
Dr. N.R.Chatterjee, 10th of July 1980 (when he was Dean, Faculty of
Management Studies, University of Delhi).

...The Indian Institute of Planning and Management covers all the subjects normally
taught in MBA course in addition to 31 credits course in Economics... the IIPM
programme in Planning and Management is considered superior to stan-
dard MBA courses.
Dr. P.K.Jain, 20th of August 1995 (when he was the Head, Department of
Management Studies, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi).

The course content of The Planning and Management Programme of IIPM covers all
the subjects normally taught in MBA courses in addition to 32 credit course in Eco-
nomics to integrate the programme with specialization in National Economic Plan-
ning... IIPM programme in Planning and Management may be considered
superior to standard MBA courses.

IIPM in Media

Being totally focussed on

academics and research,
IIPM has constantly made
news due to the right rea-
sons. More than one
thousand articles on IIPM/
quoting IIPM have come out
in the print media and faculty
of IIPM have made hundreds
of appearances in the elec-
tronic media. Every year the
Director of IIPM Dr. M. K.
Chaudhuri presents budget
alternatives before the actual
budget is declared. IIPMs
original research work has
been time and again quoted
in various articles. Rarely an
article on management edu-
cation/mangement consulting
comes out in the media which
does not quote the Dean of
IIPM, Prof. Arindam
Chaudhuri ! He has been a
columnist with various
newspapers and magazines
including The Hindustan
Times apart from regularly
contributing for The Times of
India as well. He is regularly
invited to participate in
53

various programmes in the

electronic media and has been
featured in programmes like
Movers & Shakers. His views
on the budget every year are
exclusively telecast on ZEE
NEWS on the day before the
budget as well as on the day of
the budget. Other faculty
members of IIPM are also
actively quoted in the media -
both print and electronic. The
Times of India in 2001 and The
Hindustan Times in 2002
organised seminars exclusively
with faculty of IIPM in various
cities of India - something that
they both had never done with
any other management institute
before. The Economic Times
featured IIPMs research contri-
bution to Indian management -
“Theory ‘i’ Management” in a
front page cover story. Prof.
Arindam Chaudhuri has been
featured in the cover stories of
the sunday supplements of The
Hindustan Times as well as The
Telegraph apart from being on
the cover stories of various
other newspapers and maga-
zines as well.

Classes apart...
The sense of
community at
IIPM is very
strong. It starts
in the section -
the group of about 60 class mates
with whom students spend their first
three Trimesters, working together
in small study groups, on team
projects, and in the class room. But
it extends beyond the bounds of the
class room as well, in the
relationships built through club
activities, and other extra curricular
activities like the annual festival,
rightly named A-maze. The
rollicking rock show and the
glittering all
India fashion
show
competition too,
form a part of
it...
