Indian Institute Pune PGDM Admission Criteria

Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) was founded in the year 1973. The institute offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in National Economic Planning and Entrepreneurship, as well as international and fellowship programs.

The institute executive education programs also include non-credit courses and visits at foreign business schools.

The institute 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 their country.

The institute offers with number graduate, post graduate diploma programs in the field of entrepreneurship and management to the students. The institute provides with both national and Global faculty from international universities who are experienced and qualified in respective fields and students derive value of knowledge and expertise from these valued faculty.

The institute objective is to 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 test 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 observed 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 interview 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 centers.
