The Truth About IIPM's Tall Claims

IIPM - One of the Top 10 B-Schools in India”
“Ranked #4 in Industry Interface (Ahead of 3 IIMs)”
“Ranked #7 in International Linkages (Ahead of 2 IIMs)”
“Ranked #8 in Extra-curricular activities (Ahead of 6 IIMs)”
- as advertised by IIPM in Times of India, dt May 16, 2005

This “data” is from the Outlook-C fore rankings 2003. IIPM Delhi was ranked 17th in the overall list of the Top 50 B-schools. No other branch of IIPM made it to this list. But that’s not the only thing surprising about it.

A brief visit to the webpage of the list on www.indiabschools.com (a website run by C fore, the research agency which put together the list for Outlook) will give you this information - “IIPM has been removed from ranking as we received serious complaints about the veracity of information given by them.”

So how can IIPM continue using these rankings, AFTER they’ve been removed from them? We asked Premchand Palety, CEO, C Fore and this is what he said, “Most of their (IIPM’s) advertisements are false and overstate facts. The action has to be taken by some regulatory body related to false advertisements.”
