Position in Indian Business-School Rankings
In July 2006, in the Business Today-AC Nielsen ORG-Marg rankings , IIPM (New Delhi) was ranked #11 and IIPM (Mumbai) #16 among 30 institutes polled, with a sample of 526 respondents comprising MBA aspirants, current MBAs, human resource professionals, young executives and functional heads of organisations. The schools were ranked using AC Nielsen's Winning Brands model. Respondents were asked to rank 30 shortlisted Business-schools on eight parameters - reputation, success of placement, quality of placement, infrastructure, faculty, teaching methodology and specialisation and admission eligibility. Based on the scores on different parameters, the model calculates the Brand Equity Index (BEI) for each school.
MBA Students ranked IIPM New Delhi #5 (jointly with FMS, Delhi), which was also the 8th most recommended B-School with 3% of the votes. 2% of the respondents mention IIPM New Delhi as their "First Favourite" (Joint rank #7). In all other rankings in this survey (For example, ranked by Functional Heads, Young Executives or "Top of mind") only the top 10 colleges are listed, and IIPM does not figure in them.
Business Today-A C Nielsen ORG-Marg's 2004 listing of India's top 30 Business-schools (Source: Business Today. Oct 10, 2004; pg 96) ranked IIPM Mumbai at 23rd and IIPM Delhi the 30th.
The Outlook C-Fore Business-School survey had ranked IIPM Delhi 4th in Industry Interface, 7th in International Linkages, and 8th in Extra Curricular activities in 2003. C-Fore later issued a clarification removing IIPM from its survey, stating that it had "received serious complaints about the veracity of information given by them". IIPM continues to advertise these rankings even after C-Fore has removed it from its survey.
The Business Barons Business-School Study 2004 (Source: BUSINESS BARONS. Jan 31, 2005; pg 65) has ranked the Indian Institute of Planning & Management (IIPM) 8th overall in India. Five parameters were used for the qualitative rankings - infrastructure, placement salaries commanded, depth of industry interface, quality of course contents and quality of students.
IIPM states, though, that "Rankings don't matter" and it has "strong reservations on the methodology applied by most of the magazines to rank B-schools".
Controversies
Plagiarism
In July 2006 IIPM was accused of plagiarism. A USA Today article about plagiarism on the internet mentioned that a column by Jack and Suzy Welch was posted on the IIPM website below Arindam Chaudhuri's photo without attributions to either BusinessWeek or Jack and Suzy Welch. IIPM subsequently informed USA Today that it had rights to the Welch column through the New York Times News Service/Syndicate, after which the IIPM website was updated to indicate that the article was written by the Welches and not by Chaudhuri.
Validity of the institute's name and degrees
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) said that IIPM does not have the right to use the words "Indian Institute" in its name without central government approval. AICTE has also mentioned that it is illegal for IIPM to offer foreign degrees without AICTE approval.
Veracity of IIPM claims
Main article: IIPM Advertising ControversyIn 2004/2005, IIPM was involved in a controversy regarding the veracity of its claims in print advertisements. (IIPM spends a lot of money on print advertising) The controversial elements were:
- Information about placements on IIPM advertisements and web site mentioned that a number of companies had recruited its students. JAM magazine and Businessworld spoke to the companies mentioned, and these companies had either denied going to the IIPM campus or branches, or having recruited anyone from IIPM before they finished the IIPM course.
- IIPM is not accredited with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). In its print advertisements, this is mentioned in very small print.
- The World Class Faculty: From Businessworld:
Faculty from the names that IIPM advertises so heavily - Harvard, Columbia, Wharton, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford et al - do not actually 'teach' at IIPM. Instead of picking a subject and teaching it over some weeks, as is the practice at the Indian School of Business, they just collect students at an auditorium and give a one-time lecture.
- IIPM continues to use Outlook C-Fore Business-School survey where the IIPM Delhi campus was ranked in the top 10, but Outlook has withdrawn these rankings, and has published two caution notices in 2005 warning students about such withdrawal. On the outlook site (requires free registration) Outlook says:
Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) doesn't disclose facts truly and correctly. Under notice to them, we are withdrawing all the rankings given to IIPM forthwith.
