IIPM's Asian consulting and research centers, under IIPM's Consulting Cell (Planman Consulting) are based in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai (India), and the North American consulting and research center is based in Toronto (Canada). Chicago (USA) is the headquarters for the most resent research and consulting center that IIPM is setting up in North America. In the European continent, along with strategic partners International Management Institute (IMI) Belgium, IIPM is in the middle of the industrial capitals of Europe, namely Antwerp & Brussels. Further, the Global Opportunities & Threats Analysis (GOTA) programs of IIPM shift traditional campus learning to the live corporate arena where students visit organizations like Nestle S.A (Vevey, Switzerland), United Nations (Geneva), World Bank, ILO, Credit Suisse Europe, IMD Lausanne, etc.

IIPM's Asian campuses focus on various academic programs, namely, Full time and Integrated Programme in National Economic Planning and Entrepreneurship, Fellowship programs and on specific management training programs. In New Delhi, IIPM has the largest campus of all business schools. The IIPM Tower in Qutab Institutional Area is situated in one of the most prestigious institutional areas in South Asia. The area also has campuses of various international organizations like USAID, DFID (U.K), UN, ABB, and Ernst & Young. In Mumbai, the IIPM Tower in Bandra (West) has received many rave reviews in business magazines and news reports as being a designer's marvel and an architectural delight. As consistent with all of IIPM's international locations, the Mumbai campus is situated in one of the most highly valued locations in Asia. IIPM additionally also has another pristine campus spread across various acres of lush green landscape in South Delhi. This campus is exceptional because of the Scottish flavor of the ambience. The castle type buildings, mysteriously located between lush green landscapes and thick woods, provide the ideal setting for academic pursuits. A similarly huge and lush campus, focused now completely on rural development programs, is based in Gurgaon, adjacent to New Delhi. Interestingly, it was the Gurgaon campus where IIPM started its management programs in 1973.

All IIPM campuses have created standards in infrastructure, co-curricular, and extra curricular support. For example, students and participants, for their various projects and extra curricular activities, would regularly utilize services of air-conditioned auditoriums with seating capacities of over 1000, conference rooms with availability round the clock, computer laboratories with 24 hours online support, libraries extending across complete floors with some of the world's leading titles, classroom teaching infrastructure comparable to the most advanced in the world, sports facilities (Billiards, Swimming, Golf, Lawn Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton, Cricket), and yes, the inimitable Canteen.

Whether for academic programs or for management training sessions across all its campuses, IIPM provides hostel accommodation for students and participants from various parts of the world. This adds phenomenally to group learning experiences, sustained by round the clock faculty interaction.
