Controversy

The University Grants Commission of India (UGC) issued a public notice stating that IIPM was not a university recognized by it, and that it could not confer or grant degrees. In January 2013, a court in Gwalior ordered the Department of Telecommunications to block several URLs of several with content critical of IIPM. The blocked webpages included the public notice on the UGC website. Other blocked URLs included content from The Indian Express, The Economic Times, The Times of India, The Wall Street Journal, Outlook Magazine, FirstPost, Rediff, The Caravan Magazine, as well as satirical websites such as Faking News and The UnReal Times. This censorship led to a huge outrage in traditional as well as social media, and the online community responded with a counter-offensive against IIPM, calling attention worldwide to what the institute wanted purged.
