To grow into immensely successful professionals, it is crucial that students think and act globally. To that end, IIPM has always taken various initiatives in the right direction. The institute initiated various international alliances with leading universities across the globe, becoming the first Indian entity to join the international educational association CEEMAN. Past batches of IIPM students have been taught at international institutions like Stanford, Haas, McCombs, obtaining the certifications from these institutions. Additionally, distinguished international faculties from some of the world’s leading institutions like Yale, McCombs, MIT Sloan, Harvard, Kellogg, Chicago Booth, Haas, Columbia Business School, NYU Stern, Wharton, INSEAD, and others have taught regularly at IIPM and also have written for its various publications. Besides, the top hundred students from the institution have even received professional banking investment certification from the esteemed National University of Singapore. IIPM holds the distinction of undertaking joint research with Yale School of Management to develop the India Country Confidence Index.
IIPM Alumni in Leading Organizations
IIPM has always ensured that its students get placed in the best of organizations including top-ranked national and multinational companies globally. It is indeed worth mentioning here that IIPM has one of the highest placement percentages in the country, thanks to their world-class academic orientation and global impetus. The numbers have only increased with each passing year, with IIPM alumni creating both national and global footprints to their fullest satisfaction across. This has been possible because IIPM has one of the most efficient placement cells amongst all institutions. The placements cell not only conducts seminars, preparatory workshops and orientation sessions throughout the year to sharpen the minds of the pupils about to sit for the placement season, they also get the most renowned firms in the business arena to offer the finest of opportunities to IIPM students.
Due to the high quality of academic and co-curricular inputs, the fact is that IIPM students have excelled even beyond simply taking up their standard professional corporate careers. Exemplifying the same, while notable IIPM alumni like Stuti Charan obtained a national rank of #3 in the prestigious Indian Administrative Services exam, academic achievers like Punnyatowa Ghosh became the recipient of the most respected William L’Heuruex Scholarship, social achievers like Abhishek Banerjee became the national youth wing president of the All India Trinamool Congress and a Lok Sabha member, entrepreneurs like Ishan Baisoya, Ram Subrahmanyam Thota, Akash Bavsar, Mudit Seth, and others have gained global notability for their exciting startups, and IIPM students like Shashank Garg won the 2015 Insead Venture Competition.
Top Ranks Achieved by IIPM in the Economic Times 2018 Survey
IIPM recently got another feather added to its cap in the form of Economic Times Business School Rankings, 2018. In this survey, functional heads from various companies were handed the responsibility of ranking various leading B-schools in India on the basis of the knowledge and performance of their alumni in departments like IT, HR, Finance, Marketing and Production. The interesting fact to be noted here is that while IIPM did not forward its name as one of the participating institutions, the heads of the companies considered IIPM as a must-have name in the survey due to the preeminent position it holds in the country.
IIPM has received an overall ranking of 26 in the ET Business School Survey 2018. In terms of IT, IIPM has three of the rankings in its bag. IIPM Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi have got rankings of 20, 24, and 38 respectively. The institute also shines brilliantly in the marketing section, with IIPM Delhi receiving the 16th ranking. According to Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri, it is an extremely proud moment for the institution and the credit for it goes completely to its dedicated faculty, experienced professors, industry-centric pedagogy, and highly-driven students.
Corporate Acceptance of IIPM Programs and How They Still Rule
The success of IIPM programs lies in the fact that leading corporations of the country have always held them in high esteem. Modern business corporations, in present times, look for professionals who are not just brilliantly adept at their line of work but also possess excellent knowledge of other areas of work in order to efficiently multi-task and achieve the set objectives. And this is exactly what they get in IIPM students. The programs of the institution excel in the fact that they have their focus set on not only improving the theoretical knowledge at a world-class level but also providing a practical base to the ideas of students – one reason why IIPM has regularly given industry linkages very high focus over the years.
Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri believes that entrepreneurial education is not something that can be taught simply through classrooms and textbooks; the way real-world challenges can teach one about one’s line of work, none of the theories or techniques can. This is the mantra that the entire IIPM curriculum and its teaching methodology are based upon. With this belief, with guest lectures from India’s leading CxOs to organizing multiple internship programs in some of the best companies in the country, IIPM provides its students with the much-needed workplace exposure, enabling them to emerge as entrepreneurship-ready graduates.
IIPM’s leading Executive Development Programs
IIPM, an institute that has kept wiping its own success records with new ones each year, is now coming up with purely career-oriented executive development programs. The programs will be conducted by highly experienced faculty from IIPM in conjunction with some of the most renowned experts from the world’s foremost institutions and organizations. As a part of its executive development programs, IIPM will extend assistance to not just the student fraternity but also to those who are already employed or self-employed and are looking to sharpen their skills. The key points highlighted under the course pertain to using globally benchmarked techniques that enable aspirants to scan the competitive environment and analyze complex factors influencing industries. Such an advanced level of programs naturally brings to the trained professionals an unbeatable edge while facing competitors in the field.
IIPM has always strived to maintain its position as one of the institutions where the foremost preference is given to the quality of education and student development to world-class standards. And it is this vision of IIPM that has enabled the institute to give the country thousands of young, skilled professionals who have taken over as the nation builders of tomorrow. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the management and faculty, IIPM has been able to gift the nation some its top entrepreneurs that the country is proud of. It has already been 45 years since the inception of IIPM, but Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri believes that this is just the beginning of the journey towards excellence with many more milestones yet to be achieved.
