Ahmedabad. Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have accepted for once and for all that one needed to dare think beyond the IIMs to get into IIPM. This lays down an end to the controversy that started a few years back after some bloggers disputed IIPM’s claims in its advertisements, which has the famous tagline “dare to think beyond the IIMs”. IIMs will come out with full page print advertisements in the coming days accepting that IIPM was beyond the IIMs.
“We have never published any full page advertisement in any newspaper, but due to this being a matter of national importance, we have decided to issue full page color advertisements that would clarify our stand. We are no match to IIPM and there can’t be any comparison at all. At a time when we were worried about placing our students due to recession, IIPM was planning parties for their students with Shahrukh Khan. They are really special while we are just another government institute.” IIM Ahmedabad director Sameer Barua said.

IIM directors took this decision when they met earlier today to discuss the issues like pay hikes, fee hikes and more autonomy for the institutes. IIM Ahmedabad had already given the Human Resource Ministry a one-month ultimatum to accept its demand for world-class pay for the faculty members. IIM directors concluded that they would need to fight a long drawn battle with the government to get their demands accepted, and in order to fight this battle, they must close all other contentious issues to conserve energy and focus.
“We hope IIPM will now stop publishing ads claiming the obvious. There is no point if Pizza Hut comes up with a full page advertisement announcing that they have pizzas in their store. I hope ours would be the last full page advertisement in newspapers containing the name of IIMs.” IIM Indore director Ravi Chandran said.
IIPM founder and director Arindam Chaudhuri has welcomed the decision of IIMs and called it ‘historic’, although he didn’t guarantee that IIPM will stop using the tagline “dare to think beyond the IIMs”. He demanded that all the bloggers who had earlier cast aspersions on IIPM should be put behind bars now.
But IIMs may run into trouble for issuing full page color advertisements at a time when the government was championing austerity in public life. Experts warn that the move could further strain the relations between the premier institutes and the government. Experts have suggested the IIMs to either wait for four more days if it was too urgent, or a little less than three months to be absolutely safe.
“The message that IIPM was beyond IIMs could be embedded in the birthday greetings of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that falls on the 26th September. The IIMs could issue full page greetings with the embedded message to wish the PM a happy birthday. They may escape the government fury this way, but to be absolutely on the safer side, I’d advise them to wait till 9th December, which is the birthday of Sonia Gandhi.” Biju Bijaikar, an independent consultant and expert on various issues, suggested.

So many fake ratings and so many advertisement which itself create chaotic thought about the authenticity of institute in the mind of aspirant.
Comparing with IIM has no point as weak institute do play the game of blaming others and about the existence of 39 years has also no point because selling is skill where smart salesman know where to hit.

IIPM should come up with some new slogans. My suggestions are:
1. IIPM: We are like the IIMs….but with extra Pee
2. IIPM: International Institute of Ponytail Management
3. IIPM: The institute started by Dr. Choudhuri so that his beta Arindham could finally get into an MBA school
4. IIPM: Institute of Incredibly Persistent Marketing: Advertise something long enough and people might just start believing its true!
Arindam Sir is the best but
unfortunately everybody is
jealous that he is exposing
himself so much and that too
number 1. No other MBA
programme gives as exposure
to us as his GOTA – Global
Opportunities and Threat
Analysis programme.
literally on the floor laughing…
A Bannerjee: LOL, ppl like u should surely think beyond IIMs..!! I hope Arindam isn’t paying u to search out the internet and prevent any defamation.!!
hahhaha…..ROFLMAO
I would prefer not to have exposure to Arindam’s GOTA.
I’m about to graduate from iipm,delhi.it’s one of the best institutes because it has A class faculty,gives exposure to students by sending them abroad.I went to Cornell university for the exchange programe.it was awesome over there.and if you fall in the A level category students in Iipm dey gaurantee you with a placement.the highest gone so far is 8 lakh.and arindam sir is trying every effort of his to educate indian students and ones who want MBA degree. And yes all you people are too Vella/free that you have such spare time to add to this conversation.me being frm Iipm cant take this bullshit.so go f*** your as* off who said all bad things abt Iipm.and yes not to mention good marketin mr.arindam chaudari sir so many ppl talking abt you.
I hope the your experiences were worth the truckload of tonnage of the money you burnt being a part of iipm……
i can guess the quality of iipm from the fact that you can’t even write grammatically correct sentences to defend your beloved insti. Surely, you have thought beyond IIMs
u cnt even write proper en n teln me m nt d one gud in it.ur nt even halfway as i m so u noone 2 judge..xx
hahahhahaha!!!!.. she doesnt know grammar nor the spellings.. hahahaha.. IIPM did a very good job on u.. lol…
(repeating the comment)
the truth about IIPM and Arindham Chaudhary was published in a book called The Beautiful and Damned in first chapter. It was deleted after Arindham filed a case in court and charges are pending. He is also deleting all other internet sources which had published the first chapter. I found it with great difficulty. Please read and copy it on your local machine, or post in your blog so that it is not lost.

I DONT REGRET COMING TO IIPM!xxx because the knowledge i got here and the frienship i made was worth each rupee i spent on d course!..xxxx
and did you get a job….?
YES!!
In BPO?
No…in IIPM
So Radhika…. you say ONE of the important thing you gained is good friends?
You spent so much money and you give 50% credit to it for making friends there?
Hi, I’m also an IIPM alumni. To be honest about the institute, the faculty (External ppl) they have are really good and of course you make good friends due to the environment they provide. About course and how the institute is managed is what we need to question. Placement depends on who you are and what you did through your 2 yrs of MBA. They’re just too aggressive while marketing, which I think should be taken with the slightest pinch of salt.
Is IIPM really so worthless??? I was thinking to get an admission there
