Q:   What is the expected IPMAT cutoff?
A:

Refer to the table below to know the category-wise IPMAT 2026 expected cutoff:

SectionExpected IPMAT cutoff 2026 (Section-wise)
Quantitative Aptitude (SA)24 to 28
Quantitative Aptitude (SA)32 to 36
Verbal Ability102 to 107
Q:   Is the IPMAT cut-off the same for IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak?
A:

No the IPMAT cutoff for IIM INdore and IIM Rohtak are not the same. Both the IIMs conduct different IPMAT exams. IIM Indore conducts IPMAT Indore and the exam conducted by IIM Rohtak is called the IPMAT Rohtak exam. Thus, both the institues have different cutoff and selection processes. Various factors such as number of applicants, difficulty level, number of seats available for the programme and overall performance of the candidates affect different cutoffs. 

Q:   How to calculate the IPMAT scores?
A:

IPMAT score is determined on the basis of correct answers marked by aspirants in the IPMAT exam. For each correct answer, candidates are awarded four marks. For an incorrect answer, one mark is deducted from the candidates' total score. This means that for five correct answers, 20 marks will be added to the total score. The raw score of candidates is scaled to calculate the composite score. Given below are the steps on how the composite score for IPMAT 2023 exam will be calculated:

  • Quantitative Section (MCQ) Section Scores:

25 X  (candidate's score - Minimum score)

  (Maximum score - Minimum score)

  • Quantitative Section (SA) Section Scores:

    25 X (candidate's score - Minimum score)

          (Maximum score - Minimum score)

  • Verbal Ability Section Scores:

    50 X  (candidate's score - Minimum score)

          (Maximum score - Minimum score)

The maximum and minimum scores are the highest and the lowest scores obtained in respective sections by the candidates from the eligible pool. The total score of the candidates in the exam will be the sum of the scores obtained in all three sections.
