==Controversies==
IIPM has been involved in controversies related to its claims about infrastructure, job placements and affiliation with international institutes. Journalists and independent bloggers have investigated IIPM's claims in its newspaper advertising. IIPM denies these charges and has filed legal cases against some journalists. In February 2013, a district court in Gwalior passed an order asking India's Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to block access to 78 URLs critical of IIPM,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/78-web-pages-of-IIPM-including-UGC-s-blocked/Article1-1012746.aspx |title=78 web pages of IIPM including UGC's blocked |publisher=Hindustan Times |date=2013-02-16 |accessdate=2013-05-01}}</ref> which led to online protests.<ref>{{cite web|author=Karthik Subramanian |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/outrage-over-blocking-comments-against-iipm/article4426475.ece |title=Outrage over blocking comments against IIPM |publisher=The Hindu |date=2013-02-18 |accessdate=2013-05-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.firstpost.com/tech/anonymous-india-brings-down-iipm-websites-as-outrage-grows-628257.html|title = Anonymous India brings down IIPM websites as outrage grows |author = unknown |date = 18 February 2013|accessdate =3 May 2013 |work = Firstpost |publisher = Web18 Software Services Limited}}</ref>
''The Hindu''{{'}}s editor wrote that an IIPM advertisement which stated that ''The Hindu'' had called the institute "the B-School with a Human Face" was "illegal and unethical", and said that the quotation was the headline of a paid advertisement and ''The Hindu'' has not endorsed IIPM in any way.<ref>{{cite news|title=IIPM’s claim on The Hindu: A clarification|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/iipms-claim-on-the-hindu-a-clarification/article4530742.ece|first = Siddharth |last = Varadarajan|accessdate=21 March 2013|newspaper=The Hindu|publisher = HT Media Ltd.date=21 March 2013}}</ref>

===Conflicts with journalists===

In 2005, ''Outlook''{{spaced ndash}}whose 2003 rankings IIPM had used in its advertisements{{spaced ndash}}issued a statement withdrawing all rankings awarded to the institute, saying IIPM misguides students through unethical advertising practices and does not fully and truthfully disclose facts.<ref name="outlook-rank"/> According to Arindam Chaudhuri, this was done after he said that ''Outlook'' used the perception of qualitative rankings to influence b-school rankings. IIPM responded with legal action against ''Outlook''.<ref name="Chaudhuri/Sunday Indian">{{cite web| url = http://www.thesundayindian.com/article_print.php?article_id=604B|title = B-School Ranking Scamsters Exposed!|first = Arindam |last = Chaudhuri|work = Sunday Indian |publisher = Planman Media Pvt.

In June 2005, an Indian online magazine called ''Just Another Magazine'' (JAM) published an article accusing IIPM of misleading students and the public with its advertisements by using institutional rankings published in 2003 which were no longer valid. The article said that the IIPM is not accredited by UGC or AICTE.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jammag.com/careers/n/showart.php?art_id=149 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20080210034840/http://www.jammag.com/careers/n/showart.php?art_id=149 |archivedate=2008-02-10 |title= JAM Careers - IIPM: Tall Claims |publisher=JAM Venture Publishing Pvt.

In 2009, Mahesh Sarma wrote in ''Careers 360'' that for the class of 2008, three companies mentioned in IIPM advertisements as participants in campus placement said that although some freshers of the institute may have been working for them, the companies had never participated in the institute's campus recruitment process. Sarma profiled a sample of jobs that IIPM said its students obtained abroad in the Persian Gulf countries.<ref name="Careers360 story about IIPM"/> As of June 2010, according to ''[[The Pioneer (newspaper)|The Pioneer]]'', Standard Chartered and Barclays were offering jobs to IIPM students.<ref name="Pioneer4">{{cite web|url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/259752/IIPM-takes-India-Inc-by-storm.html|title=IIPM takes India Inc by storm|accessdate=30 August 2010|publisher=CMYK Printech Ltd|date=2 June 1010|author=unknown|work = Sunday Pioneer|archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20110616062818/http://www.dailypioneer.com/259752/IIPM-takes-India-Inc-by-storm.html|archivedate = 16 June 2011}}</ref>

In 2009, according to Sarma's article, [[Judge Business School]] (University of Cambridge), [[Darden Graduate School of Business Administration]] ([[University of Virginia]]) and [[Haas School of Business]] hosted IIPM's non-credit Executive Education program participants and conducted sessions for them.<ref name="Careers360 story about IIPM"/> Sarma wrote that McCombs School of Business was not aware of a relationship with IIPM, and that IIPM may have a relationship with another University of Texas-Austin college. Judge Business School told Sarma that they were delivering a "five-day non-degree executive education programme" to IIPM students at the University of Cambridge, and that "there are no university qualifications awarded from Cambridge University or Judge Business School. The only certificate is a certificate of attendance which is what we provide to participants on all our programmes." Darden Business School told Sarma that "along with Cambridge (Judge) and UC Berkeley (Haas)," University of Virginia's Darden School of Business was providing a series of week-long Executive Education non-credit programs for IIPM. Darden also said it had no partnership agreement with IIPM. Haas Business School confirmed the existence of a contract with IIPM and said that IIPM "may represent itself as a business school participating with the Haas School of Business," and that Haas faculty will teach courses in the IIPM programme.<ref name="Careers360 story about IIPM"/>

Sarma also reported that the University of Buckingham had told him that although they were in talks with IIPM, there was no formal agreement yet and that until IIPM's programmes are formally accredited by the QAA, IIPM does not have consent to mention the University of Buckingham in its advertisements.<ref name="Careers360-2">{{cite news| last=Sharma |first=Mahesh | title=IIPM makes another claim – Over to you Mr.Sibal|url=http://www.careers360.com/news_3069-IIPM-makes-another-claim-Over-to-you-Mr-Siba|date = 1 June 2009|accessdate = 3 May 2013|work = Careers 360|publisher = Maheshwer Peri}}</ref> According to Sarma, after ''Careers360'' published its article, IIPM removed the name of University of Buckingham from its advertisements.<ref name="Careers360 story about IMI"/>
