The Ministry of Education and Culture has revealed that the institution does not have an operational license to operate in Indonesia. An investigation conducted by the Higher Education Service Institution (LLDIKTI) shows that UIPM is not registered in the Higher Education Database (PDDikti).

The Director General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology Abdul Haris emphasized that without operational permission from the government, academic degrees obtained from foreign universities such as UIPM cannot be recognized.
