About IIPM's Recognition
The Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) faced some challenges regarding its official recognition. People learned that the degrees offered by IIPM were not officially recognized by some higher education authorities in India.
In 2014, it was found that IIPM was giving the impression that it was connected to a foreign institute in Belgium. However, this Belgian institute was actually set up by Arindam Chaudhuri and his father. It was not officially recognized by Belgian laws.
Because of these issues, IIPM announced in 2015 that it would stop offering direct education programs. It closed most of its campuses and decided to focus only on research and training in Delhi.
