IIPM RANKED AHEAD OF FIVE OF THE IIMS RATED AS ONE OF THE FASTEST-RISING BUSINESS SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY

IIPM RANKED AHEAD OF FIVE OF THE IIMS RATED AS ONE OF THE FASTEST-RISING BUSINESS SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY Extenuating its spirited campaign ‘Dare To Think Beyond the IIMs’, IIPM surpassed the performance of 5 of the IIMs to be ranked 2nd (ahead of 5 of the IIMs) in the Business Barons’ India’s Best B-Schools Survey, January 2005, in the ‘Industry Interface’ index. The survey specifically endorsed the entry of IIPM in the ‘elite list’ and rated it as one of the fastest-rising business school in the country. The survey placed IIPM at rank 8 over all (exceeding 2 of the IIMs) IIPM also got ranked 3rd for its quality of course content (exceeding 4 of the IIMs). AsProf. Arindam Chaudhuri, Dean – The Indian Institute of Planning & Management puts it “Industry Interface is perhaps the only index which involves no value judgements. It is measured purely in terms of the revenue earned from consulting assignments undertaken by an institute and its faculty. It’s a direct reflection of how much the industry trusts your institute’s education. When you know you are the best, its tough to accept even the over all ranking any less as it involves weightages based upon value judgements on other aspects like infrastructure etc.” Further, the report appreciated Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri as ” the best-selling author and economist, who has made IIPM more than a business school with his innovative socio-economic philosophy”. IIPM made news in 2003-2004 when it got selected by United Nations Development Program as its key partner institution in India and got invited by World Bank Institute to be on its steering committee for a National Conference in Corporate Social Responsibility. IIPM was also in news when it surpassed the performance of five of the IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management) to be ranked second in Business Barons: India’s Best B-Schools survey (June 2003), in the Industry Interface index. At IIPM the mood is upbeat and every one is brimming with confidence to prove it as the best management school in the country. [click here to see the complete report]
