About IPMAT

IPMAT is IIM Indore's entrance exam for its 5-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) - a direct-from-Class-12 route into a management degree, without needing a separate undergraduate degree first. A few other IIMs (Rohtak, Jammu, Bodh Gaya, Ranchi) run their own separately-branded IPM entrance tests with different patterns and eligibility; this covers IIM Indore's specifically, the original and best-known version.

Exam pattern

Mode

Computer-based test (CBT)

Duration

2 hours

Questions

Sections

Quantitative Ability (MCQ)
Quantitative Ability (Short Answer, no negative marking)
Verbal Ability

The Short Answer quantitative section has no negative marking even though the rest of the paper does - a distinct scoring quirk worth knowing going in.

Selection process

IPMAT score determines who advances to Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds - the final merit list combines all three stages, not IPMAT alone.
