PGPM Admissions in IIPM Pune, 2015

Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) is a business school headquartered in New Delhi, with 18 branches across India. Establised in 1973, the institute offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in National Economic Planning and Entrepreneurship, as well as international and fellowship programmes. IIPM's executive education programs also include non-credit courses and visits at foreign business schools.

The Indian Institute of Planning and Management had thus set before it the twin tasks: to reorient education and research towards the needs of both the sectors and to establish the link between the national economic planning and the development of private enterprises in there country.

As an educational institute, IIPM aimed at developing a three dimensional personality in its students, viz (1) pursuit of knowledge, (2) commitment to economic, social and cultural upliftment of masses and (3) cultivation of taste for literature, fine arts etc. With changing times and near dismantling of the Planning Commission in India, IIPM aims to reorient the IIPM programme to the new realities of the Indian economic system while remaining committed to the basic philosophy of global humanism. In fact, while India unfortunately abandons principles of National Economic Planning, intellectuals around the world are waking up to the inevitable need for International Planning in the search of a more humane and sustainable society as man is becoming increasingly alienated from the society and violence -both internal and external - is becoming a trademark of the free market fiscal bottom line oriented driven system.

Selection Process:

IIPMs Admission teat E-PAT (Entrepreneurship & Planning Admission Test) is based upon a written test, group discussion and interview. Unlike CAT, IIPM’s admission test E-PAT is based more on parameters pertaining to EQ ( Emotional Quotient) and overall personality mapping since it has been globally obser ved that high IQ often takes a backseat to high EQ when it comes to Entrepreneurship, Management and dealing with human beings. Thus, the total scores of the written test, group discussion and personal inter view are compiled together to compose the final score. Success in E-PAT is more likely to make you a better future leader than success in any other examination focused primarily on IQ. E-PAT is conducted throughout India in more than 15 centres.
