In the light of globalization, students entering IIPM International have to undergo a 2/3 weeks study tour to a selected country in the continents of Australia, Africa, Asia, America, Europe. IIPM International bears the entire cost of this programme for all students. This cost includes cost of air travel (from the nearest international airport) as well as the entire cost of boarding, lodging, food and faculty mobilisation. Students should have passports available and would have to obtain visas for the country of their visit. If they are not given a visa, IIPM International cannot be held responsible. The idea is to make the students aware of how a truly global economy works and also to bring a fresh outlook to life conducive to entrepreneurial learning. From the batch of 2009 onwards GOTA is being taken to a completely different level all together. 100% of students joining IIPM will be doing a special course on Global Management for one week in one of the top 20 B-Schools* of the world and getting a Certificate in Global Management from the B-School that they attend. Students will be sent to different B-Schools (which will impart the programme) as per the sole discretion of IIPM and they will have no right to choose which B-School they want to go to. More than 7500 students have gone for IIPM’s GOTA to countries like USA, UK, Swizerland, Italy, France etc. in the last two years alone!
When all students return after their visits to various countries, they are encouraged to share their experiences and the knowledge gained from the interactions through structured discussions with other students of the institute. This creates an intellectually stimulating and exciting environment in the campus and students get a first hand experience of how things work in other countries. Students are also required to submit projects on the areas of key learning. During the GOTA visits, IIPM has conducted seminars and lectures in association with organisations/institutions like: IMD, Lausanne ; The United Nations; International Labour Organisation; The World Bank; Nestle; Citigroup; Honda; Oxford University; IBM; WIPO; BMW; FIAT; Suzuki; Insead; IMI, Europe; Credit Suisse; Sulzer; World Trade Organisation; Omega etc. |

* The B-Schools are all amongst the top 20 B-Schools of the 2006-07 Business Week B-School ranking or the 2007 Economist ranking or the Financial Times rankings of the year 2008. However IIPM might include any other institute if it deems fit. |

 We thank IIPM for having given us this opportunity to be know more of India’s tomorrow managers. We hope these initial
visits of Indian students will be followed by many others, as we wish to strengthen our ties with Indian academics...”

The IIPM group was bright, dynamic and interactive. I feel that this initiative gives the students a good exposure on the international business environment and must be encouraged.”
Michael Page International
Tulika Kumar, Executive Director
I think IIPM’s effort in bringing students to Europe is ‘Superb’. The more such exchanges take place, the more confident people will become... The students also revealed clear signs that they understand a good deal of the subject.

Prof. Guy B. Knapton
My interactions with IIPM [students] have been good and I think IIPM’s effort to expose students to a variety of experiences
and speakers is very useful.”
Prof. Miles Dodd, Sr. Advisor
INSEAD, France
(Ranked as the No. 1 management programme in the world for
many years consecutively).
It was a real pleasure to interact with the students from the different branches of IIPM... As a group of young intelligent professionals, they were excellent... I think that they were very good Ambassadors of IIPM because they were punctual, well
turned out and very pleasant...”
