iP An autonomous body under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India

Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) is an autonomous body in the eld of

packaging and working under the administrative control of the Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, Government of India. The Institute was established on
14th May, 1966 with its headquarter and principal laboratories in Mumbai. The
Institute set up its rst branch office at Chennai in 1971, followed by branches at
Kolkata, Delhi , Hyderabad in 1976, 1986 and 2006 respectively. In addition four
more centres are to be made operational at Bangalore, Guwahati, Ahmedabad
and Kakinada.
Dr. N. C. Saha
Director The main objective of the Institute is to promote the export market by way
Indian Institute of of innovative package design and development as well as to upgrade the
Packaging overall standards of packaging in the country. The Institute is involved in
various activities like testing and evaluation of packaging materials and
packages, consultancy services and research & development related to packaging. Besides this,
the Institute is involved in training and education in the eld of packaging.
The Indian packaging industry has not only grown in size and volume, but also in its level of
operation. In addition, globalisation has also forced the Indian packaging industry to become
more competitive in the global markets and also to win major contracts abroad. Today, the Indian
packaging industry is growing at an annual rate of 15% as against 5-6% growth of the global
packaging industry. This has also created a great demand for packaging professionals by the Indian
packaging industry. In fact, packaging training and education have become the ‘Need of the Hour’
in our country so as to upgrade the overall standards of packaging at the National level.
To value these facts, the Indian Institute of Packaging started two years full time Post Graduate
Diploma in Packaging in the year 1985 in Mumbai which is one of its kind in the country.
Subsequently, the Institute extended this facility by way of commencing a similar course in Delhi
in the year 2000. Due to constant growth in demand of packaging professionals, IIP initiated this
course in Kolkata with an intake of 15 students in 2010 and in Hyderabad with an intake of 16
students in 2011.
Today, the Post Graduate Diploma in Packaging (PGDP) course is established as one of the most
popular programme and is well accepted by the packaging industry in India and abroad. Till date,
over 2000 students have graduated under this programme with 100% campus placements in the
past ve years. On similar lines, the Institute started the Distance Education Programme in 1996
for the bene t of working people to upgrade their knowledge in the eld of packaging.
In order to cater to the demand of the packaging industry, IIP has increased the intake of students
from the academic year of 2012-2014.
I am con dent that the youngsters who would be opting for this course as their career option will
have a brilliant and bright future.
My best wishes to all the new aspirants who would be joining the illustrious IIP family.

GENESIS OF PACKAGING EDUCATION

It was in 1985, that we decided to take a step forward in the direction of Packaging Education. We are second
in the world, besides USA, to start two years Post Graduate Diploma in Packaging. With the inputs of expert
educationists under the chairmanship of Dr. D. V. Rege, then Director of University Department of Chemical
Technology, Mumbai (now ICT) with Dr. V. Gupchup, then Principal of Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute,
Mumbai (now Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute), Dr. Ravi Talwar; Mr. A. S. Athale; Dr. K. N. Kaul, Technical
Director of M/s. Roche Products; Dr. R. Jayaraman, Vice-President of M/s. Britannia Industries Ltd. and others,
the curriculum of two years full time Post Graduate Diploma in Packaging was developed.

Since packaging is an inter-disciplinary

subject, the rst semester includes exposure to
subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry,
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Packaging technology is then introduced
with detail and elaborate coverage on various
packaging media, which includes paper
and paperboard, glass, metals, plastics and
composites. Similarly, laboratory practical
training and visit to packaging converters and
user industries are made part of the curriculum
to expose students to the practical aspects of the subject.
In an organisation, since a packaging professional plays a vital role, management subjects such as Production
Planning and Control, Total Quality Management, Industrial Engineering, Materials Management, Marketing
and Financial Management are also covered.
The post graduate diploma course commenced in 1985 and the curriculum is regularly reviewed with addition
of new subjects. Some of the subjects recently included are Eco-Regulation, Computer Aided Design & Mould
Design and Communication Skills, which now form a part of the syllabus.
We have a separate computer laboratory for Post Graduate Diploma students equipped with necessary
software for their training and use. Experienced and dedicated faculty trains the students in CAD.
We have been conducting a three months
certi cate course since 1968. The course is
accredited by Asian Packaging Federation of
which IIP is the founder member and endo-
rsed by World Packaging Organisation. The
course is open to overseas participants as well.
Both these courses being full time, a need was
felt to introduce a Distance Education Course
especially for working people who cannot
attend the full time programme. In 1996, we
started the Distance Education Course for
many aspirants who are working in the industry and could not attend our full time courses to improve their
professional quali cation.
We are in the 21st year of Distance Education Programme, which is of 1½ years duration. This course is also
accredited by Asian Packaging Federation and is open to participants from any country. We have been receiving

4 Prospectus PGDP
 iP An autonomous body under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India

overwhelming response for this course. For overseas students of this course, we conduct the examination in
their city. Over the years, we have witnessed a signi cant growth in the number of students enrolling in this
course. They come from various professional and educational backgrounds.
We started with student in-take of 20 for the 2-year Post Graduate Diploma in Packaging and today, our in-
take is raised to 300. Appreciation of this course by the industry is seen in the responses we receive for the
campus interviews, in which almost all of the students are placed within a few days. The value of our course
is recognised through repeat visits of many corporate bodies and MNCs for campus placement.
All our students are respectfully placed with exciting job offers. Recently, overseas organisations have own
down and recruited our students.
The success story of these programmes is due to the efforts by the eminent faculty, who support the
educational activities; from renowned educational institutions, the industry and many corporate bodies,
through industrial visits and training of our students.
Packaging is one of the most dynamic elds and is sensitive to technical and commercial trends. Packaging
trends need to be quickly identi ed, studied and exploited to survive in competition. Globalisation has brought
consumers and producers closer than ever before. The role of packaging in modern methods of distribution
through super markets and malls has, therefore, assumed great importance. Thus, the demand of this subject
makes our job challenging; however, we always like challenges and endeavour to succeed.
