New Delhi (India), January 20: Established in 1973, The Indian Institute of Planning & Management is entering its Golden Jubilee year in 2023 and celebrations have already started.

As the kick off celebrations start, Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri, the Honorary Director at IIPM Think Tank rubbishes the entire UGC controversy as fake news and manipulated. “UGC put IIPM in a list of fake universities way back in 2008. IIPM instantly went to HC where they were reprimanded and the name had to be taken off the list. It ended there. Rest post that is media circus. It goes on and on these days of WhatsApp university and social media, you can keep circulating crap. IIPM was never a fake university and it won its case against UGC when they tried to call us one. Post losing to us UGC has never called us a Fake University as they are barred from HC. They have often said IIPM can’t give degrees. I don’t care. Only a fool will think we give degrees. We are not an university nor have we called ourselves one. We are an institute and we give our certification. They are free to say the obvious. In any case it’s written all over our website and ads. The entire history is well documented right at the top of our website. But yes, white they say this about us they must say this about the other 5000 institutes like ISB etc as well. They also can’t give degrees. Unfortunately no one cares to realise the game or to read what’s written in or prospectus and website. They are happy with the lies written on Wikipedia and everywhere else”, explains Arindam.
