FAQs

IPMAT refers to the aptitude tests used for admission to five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) courses, which students join after Class 12. IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak each conduct their own test, and the National Testing Agency conducts JIPMAT for IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu.

Eligibility is set by each institute and is based on Class 10 and Class 12 marks, with a maximum age limit. The exact percentages and age cut-offs can change from year to year, so always confirm them on the official website for the year you are applying in. The official link is given at the bottom of each exam page.

Most students start in Class 11 or at the beginning of Class 12, so that school studies and test preparation run side by side. Quantitative ability and verbal ability both reward regular daily practice rather than last-minute study.

Our IPMAT mentorship plans are being finalised. Please send an enquiry and we will share the current batch details, schedule and fee with you directly.
