About Indian Institute of Psychometry, Kolkata

We Believe - We at iip strongly believe ----- "Learn not only to be professionals but to have a mental makeup to be able to pursue anything with unflinching devotion and selfless passion."

The corner stone of this belief has been laid down by the founder Directors of iip, Prof. S. Chatterji, and Prof. (Mrs.) Manjula Mukerjee (Chatterji), who by capitalising on their beliefs and investing their reputation and goodwill (which have been earned during their tenure at ISI), had a very modest start on the 18th of July 1978. Starting operation from a small two roomed, rented flat, iip has grown to its present volume and stature. Thus at iip, we all got the lessons --- To believe in our ourselves and to believe in you (if you do believe in yourself!) and believe, together we can do it --- "Make India an IT super power by 2005".

iip is operating with credence and grit for the last two decades and a brace of years and its claim to success will be hallmarked by more than a handful of both private sector and public sector organisations like the three state Governments of India who have been deploying iip's psychometric skills for recruiting, selecting, interviewing potential candidates, so that the system dose not get burdened by ineffective, non-performing human vegetables. Moreover, in course of its activities iip evolved the group task - a procedure for objective assessment of personality under selection situation. At present this method is being used in foreign countries and we are proud to say that this procedure has been acclaimed as the "Best Single Predictor" of success.

The cornerstones of the structure of the Institution are the Directors of IIP, Prof. S. Chatterji, and Prof. (Mrs.) Manjula Mukerjee (Chatterji), who by capitalizing their beliefs and investing their reputation and goodwill (earned during their tenure at the Indian Statistical Institute) launched IIP with a very modest beginning on 18th July 1978.
