“It is my pleasure and privilege to state that I have been associated with The Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) since its inception. I have myself grown with the Institute, as a teacher, as a friend and philosopher to Prof. Chaudhuri and various batches of students over the years since 1973. Based on my long association with IIPM, I state that the courses taught at the Institute cover not only regular MBA curriculum, but also additional inputs of Economics with special emphasis on macro level planning and National Economic Management, which have bearing on corporate management... At the current state of environment, when we talk about global business management, students are thus exposed to a variety of subjects in greater detail. In view of this. I have no hesitation in admitting that the IIPM course is superior to any regular Post Graduate Diploma/Degree Course exclusively focussed on just MBA curriculum.” Dr. M. Adhikari, 6th of March 1995 (when he was Dean, Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi)

“...IIPM covers all the subjects normally taught in MBA course in addition to 31 credits course in Economics... the IIPM programme in Planning and Management is considered superior to standard MBA courses.” Dr. P.K.Jain, 20th of August 1995 (when he was the Head, Department of Management Studies, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi)

“...The course content of the Planning and Management Programme of The Indian Institute of Planning and Management covers all the subjects taught in MBA course in the IndianUniversities. In addition, the course content of IIPM included 16 and above credit courses to integrate the management programme with specialization in National Economic Planning. I have no hesitation to say that IIPM’s two year programme in Planning and Management is superior to standard MBA courses...” Dr. N.R.Chatterjee, 10th of July 1980 (when he was Dean, Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi)

“The course content of the Planning and Management Programme of IIPM covers all the subjects normally taught in MBA courses, in addition to a 32 credit course in economics to integrate the programme with specialization in National Economic Planning... The IIPM programme in Planning and Management may be considered superior to standard MBA courses...” Dr. Utpal K. Banerjee, 12th November 1996 (Renowned Consultant and Advisor on Information Technology and Ex-Advisor to A.I.C.T.E.).
