The country has come a long way forward after the Asian tiger nomenclature saw it do wonders in the socio-economic horizon. As the nation surges ahead in its bid to climb on top of the podium that hosts the world's largest nations in terms of economic development, the management education scenario too may be seen as having got its well-deserved due.

This is clear from the number of business schools that have mushroomed across the country over the past few decades. While many had come into being after the liberalisation era and have blossomed with their expertise in management education, some others have ended up as just also-rans. The demand for quality management education had turned out to be norm as India's economic aspirations saw a leap.

Standing head and shoulders above all the management education institutions that had mushroomed over the past few years is a B-school that has a history dating back to the 1960s.

The long years of experience in imparting management education through its contemporary, industry specific and functional specific educational programmes have imbibed faith in students and captivated unparalleled patronage from the corporate world who visits every passing year to pick the best of talent from IPE's classrooms.

The enterprises that have been benefitted by the talent acquisition they have been effectively doing over the past so many decades, and they keep coming back to the IPE campus for more.
