JIPMAT Pattern

The National Testing Agency NTA prescribes the JIPMAT exam pattern. JIPMAT is conducted as a computer-based test for admission into IPM courses offered by IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu. The JIPMAT exam pattern comprises questions from three sections, namely:
1. Quantitative Aptitude
2. Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning
3. Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension
As per the test structure of JIPMAT exam, candidates have to answer a total of 100 MCQ-type questions divided into three sections in an equal weightage. However, to round off the 33.33% weightage of each section, NTA has allotted an additional question to VARC section, i.e. 34 questions for VARC and 33 questions each for QA, and DILR. Candidates need to answer all questions in JIPMAT exam within a time duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes in English medium.

The JIPMAT exam has three sections, namely, Quantitative Aptitude (QA), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC). Each section carries an equal weightage of 33.33% in the exam. However, to round off the 33.33 per cent distribution, QA and DILR have 33 questions each. While the VARC section has 34 questions. In other words, there is no section that has maximum weightage in the JIPMAT exam. Each section is equally important and carries the same weightage. Candidates must score well in all the three sections to secure a good overall score in the exam. Therefore, candidates must prepare well for all the three sections and allocate equal time and effort to each section during the preparation phase to perform well in the JIPMAT exam.
