IIPM, Beware.
A quick round-up of all posts about the stupid move of IIPM, their fake blogs and lewd comments and Gaurav’s stunning but right move. Just to keep the topic alive and ensure that prospective students aren’t hoodwinked by IIPM’s false advertising and arm-twisting. – Firstly, IIPM reacts badly to an expose of IIPM’s false claims and misleading advertisements – Gaurav is threatened with a lawsuit for the sole reason that he linked to the Jam article. – Fake blogs crop up overnight and attack/libel Rashmi Bansal – Bad move #1 by IIPM/its misguided supporters – The Blogosphere wakes up, takes up the issue. Bewarned folks. You don’t get away easily when you resort to cheap and foolhardy tricks – IIPM decided to arm-twist IBM/Lenovo, Gaurav’s Employer – Stupid Move #1 IIPM – IBM doesn’t give in to the Arm twisting, lets Gaurav decide to do what he wants. – Gaurav resigns voluntarily from his job. Bravo! Here’s a guy who can stand his point. – The issue explodes across the web. Michael Higgins, Instapundit, Global Voices and Om Malik take it up. Needless to say, Desipundit, the Acorn, Amit Varma, Ravikiran and other Indian bloggers are behind Gaurav all the way.
For the benefit of folks who might be considering IIPM for a Management Education. Please think twice. This is an Institute that believes that full page ads are substitutes for quality education. This is an institute that believes in burning laptops and threatening people. This is an institute run by an aspiring model whose educational qualifications are suspicious. This is an institute that has scant regard for its students, letting them get away with libellous comments and vulgarity. This is an institute that is so involved in promoting itself more than its students. This is an institute whose degrees and diplomas don’t have any recognition, anywhere. In short, this is an institute that will do more harm than good. Whose certificates are not worth the paper they are printed on!
IIPM (technorati tag)
Folks. Let’s keep this topic burning. One way or the other, Bloggers need to show that they matter. Be it in the way Pradyuman Maheshwari was forced to shut down his blog, or Gaurav indirectly arm-twisted to resign, we bloggers are taken lightly. It is time we stood up for our freedom. For what is ours.

IIPM, the crap institute
The IIPM’s according to this man are going to pose a serious challenge to the IIM’s in a few years time. If you really believe him and are thinking of getting admitted to his institute, well think again. According to Rashmi of Youth Curry,...

I think that the media should be informed about all this. I think they are unaware because no one has written about it till now. So, I compiled a list of editors and it would be good if you mailed them too. You can find the list here.

i have been reading a lot negative about iipm and the people behind the desk. Im a part of this institute and really have not experienced as much bitterness as expressed.
However im aware that the entire iipm family is not as tranparent as it proves to be.
On the other hand your comments also have a lot of misconcepted views.
I guess the PR and Communications on our end need to be worked out.

Hi folks, i have been reading with much interest all th comments posted on the net by bloggers.i had taken up a job with IIpm a few day back and my job lasted just 15 days at the end of which i was told by a highly stupid and bogus managing publisher that i was unfit for thre job and that i was cut copy pasting articles from the net.i am a journalist of some experience and for them to tell me that i didint know my ABCds is highly ridiculous.
anyways i must say that their functioning is highly arbitarary and they have no proper systems and checks in place.they threaten to sue u at the drop of a hat. they seem to be really good at issuing legal notices.as for their architectural wonders if they think all this show and glamour is asubsitute for sound education then they are sadly mistaken.they have serious money clout. god knows where they get all their funding from.ya but they certainly seem to be more interested in propoganda than in any kind of serious education.they are just a bunch of really bright but misguided people who need to do some serious growing up.
