Institute Of Productivity And Management

What Institute Of Productivity And Management does

Institute of Productivity and Management (IPM) is a privately held business school founded in 1977 by Late Shri V. P. Verma and headquartered in Meerut, India, with three additional campuses in Ghaziabad, Kanpur, and Lucknow (all in Uttar Pradesh). The institute offers a single core product, a two-year full-time Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and considered equivalent to an MBA, with eight specializations covering Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, Operations, Supply Chain Management, Information Technology, Management Information Systems, and Artificial Intelligence. The programme is delivered across four semesters with an 8-week summer internship between the first and second years, and includes a Personality Development Programme, an international tour to Hanoi (Vietnam), and structured campus recruitment drives.

The institute is led by President Prof. Kanes K. Rajah and Executive Director Prof. Vikas Verma, supported by four campus directors and a faculty cohort that includes both full-time lecturers with doctorates and visiting practitioners from institutions such as IIM-A and MDI Gurgaon, and corporates including Dabur and ICICI Bank. Revenue is generated almost entirely from tuition fees (~₹3.5 lakh / ~$4,200 per student for the full two-year course), supplemented by hostel and mess charges, with no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, and no public listing. Beyond the core PGDM, IPM operates an Executive Programme (PGDM-EP) exclusively at the Ghaziabad branch and a Digital Design Course covering UI/UX, game design, editorial design, and animation; the institute also maintains an active Alumni Association that feeds graduates into recruiters including PETRONAS, Axis Bank, L&T Infotech, DTDC, and Forevermark India. The GTM motion is sales-led and admissions-driven, relying on national entrance exam scores (CAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA), Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds, an online registration portal, social media presence, and word-of-mouth through the alumni network.
