Exam pattern
To be announced - check the official website. The official page describes an entrance examination testing aptitude, logical reasoning, and proficiency in English and Mathematics. It does not publish the number of sections, the number of questions, the duration or the marking scheme.

Preparation strategy
How SoGo Sir asks students to go about it. Method, not motivation.
Treat Class 12 and the test as one timetable, not two
School boards and the aptitude test pull in different directions if you plan them separately. Fix daily slots for both at the start of Class 11 or Class 12 and protect them.
Mathematics is the lever
The entrance test checks proficiency in Mathematics and English. Arithmetic, algebra and basic modern maths repay daily practice more than anything else you can do.
Read for the English section, do not cram for it
Twenty minutes of real reading a day - a newspaper editorial, a long article - does more for comprehension and vocabulary than a word list.
Practise the interview from the start
Shortlisted candidates face a Written Ability Test and an interview that look at communication, general awareness and persuasion. Those are habits, built over months.
Use timed sets, then analyse them
A test you have not analysed is a test you have wasted. Our batches put a discussion after every mock for exactly this reason.
Check the official page before every decision
IIM Indore does not publish minimum marks, an age limit or dates on its programme page, so confirm those directly with the admissions office for your cycle.

Common questions
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.
