  • Number of questions: 50 questions
  • Total marks: 200

Quantitative Aptitude (multiple-choice questions): 

  • Number of questions: 25
  • Total marks: 100

Quantitative Aptitude (short answer type questions):

Q:   How should I manage the sectional cut-off of IPMAT?

A:

To manage the sectional cut-off of IPMAT, it's important to understand the exam pattern, which consists of three sections: Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability, and Logical Reasoning. To clear the sectional cut-off, you need to score well in each section. Identify your strong areas among the three sections and focus on improving your performance in those areas. Manage your time effectively during the exam, allocating time for each section based on your strengths and weaknesses. Regularly practice questions from each section to improve your skills and speed. Stay calm and confident during the exam, and analyze your performance after taking practice tests to identify your weak areas and work on improving them. Finally, if you're struggling with any section, seek guidance from teachers, mentors, or coaching institutes to get tips and support to improve your performance.

Q:   Is IPMAT IIM Indore better than IIM Rohtak's IPMAT?

A:

IPMAT and IPM Aptitude Test (IIM Rohtak) have similar syllabus but the difficulty level is different. Both exams have Quantitative Aptitude and Verbal Ability sections. However, IIM Rohtak's IPMAT exam has an additional section- Logical Reasoning. While IPM Aptitude Test is an easy exam, IIM Indore's IPMAT is moderately tough but to say which is better totally depends upon the college a candidate is targeting for the five-year integrated programme. The participating colleges for both exams are different. If a candidate's dream college accepts IPMAT score, then they should appear for IPMAT exam. The IPMAT exam conducted by IIM Indore is accepted by other institutes such as IIFT, IIM Ranchi, Nirma University,  Alliance University,  NICMAR University,  Department of Management Studies and NALSAR University of Law. The benefit of IPMAT by IIM Indore is that the exam is accepted by multiple top management insitutes in country, whereas the one conducted by IIM Rohtak is only accepted by IIM Rohtak.
