Forecast based on 2025/2026 cycles. Neither IIM has released 2027 dates yet — treat as directional.
IPMAT is a Class 12 entry point — no graduation required.
Clearing IPMAT only gets you a shortlist — the final call combines the exam score with WAT, PI, and your academic profile.
Both institutes place IPM graduates alongside their MBA cohort — figures reflect that combined process.

General patterns observed across recent IPMAT cycles for both institutes.
IPMAT's dual-exam structure means your strategy should account for Indore's Short-Answer QA and Rohtak's added Logical Reasoning.
Sectional cutoffs are the real filter — you must clear each section independently to qualify for WAT/PI.

They are separate exams run by different IIMs for their own 5-Year Integrated Programme in Management. IPMAT Indore has three sections — Quantitative Ability MCQ, Quantitative Ability Short Answer (no negative marking), and Verbal Ability. IPMAT Rohtak has Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability, and an additional Logical Reasoning section, and is generally considered to test slightly easier concepts than Indore. You must apply and pay separately for each.
IPMAT Indore: Quantitative Ability (MCQ) — 30 questions, Quantitative Ability (Short Answer) — 15 questions with zero negative marking, and Verbal Ability — 45 MCQs, each within a 40-minute sectional limit. IPMAT Rohtak: Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning, and Verbal Ability sections, with a different question count and marking scheme set by IIM Rohtak each year.
For IPMAT Indore's MCQ sections, each correct answer typically gets +4 marks with -1 for incorrect answers. The Short Answer (SA) section has zero negative marking. IPMAT Rohtak follows its own scheme, generally +4 for correct and -1 for incorrect MCQ answers.
Candidates must have passed Class 12 (or be appearing in 2027) in any stream. IIM Rohtak additionally requires a minimum 60% aggregate in Class 10 and 12 (55% for SC/ST/PwD), while IIM Indore does not specify a minimum percentage — only passing Class 12 is required. There is typically a maximum age limit of around 20 years, with a 5-year relaxation for SC/ST/PwD candidates, set independently by each conducting IIM.
IPMAT Indore scores are accepted by IIM Indore itself plus IIM Ranchi, IIM Shillong, IIM Amritsar, IIM Sirmaur, IIFT Kakinada, Alliance University, TAPMI, and NALSAR. IPMAT Rohtak scores are used mainly for IIM Rohtak's own IPM programme, with some acceptance at TAPMI. IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya run a separate exam called JIPMAT instead.
No. IPMAT Indore and IPMAT Rohtak are conducted by IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak themselves. JIPMAT is a separate exam conducted by the National Testing Agency on behalf of IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya, with its own pattern and syllabus.
Yes. Since they are separate exams with separate application forms, fees, and (usually) exam dates about a week apart, you can register for and attempt both in the same year to maximise your chances of an IPM seat.
No. Both IPMAT Indore and IPMAT Rohtak are computer-based tests that do not permit physical or on-screen calculators. All Quantitative Ability calculations, including the Short Answer section at Indore, must be done manually.
A "good" score depends on your category and the year's difficulty level, but based on the sectional and overall cutoff trends shown in the Cutoff section above, General category candidates generally need to clear each section comfortably above the previous year's cutoff for a realistic shortlist chance at either institute.
Yes, both IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak charge a non-refundable application fee to register for their respective exams, with a separate fee for each. Exact fee amounts and category-wise concessions are notified by each IIM in its official application brochure closer to the exam date.
Candidates shortlisted on IPMAT score go through a Written Ability Test (WAT) — a short essay on a given topic — followed by a Personal Interview (PI). IIM Indore's process is described as IPMAT + WAT + PI, and IIM Rohtak's as IPMAT Rohtak + WAT + PI, with the final admission decision based on a composite of all these stages plus your academic record.
Carry a printed copy of your admit card and a valid original photo ID (such as Aadhaar, passport, or school/college ID) matching the details on the admit card. Requirements can vary slightly by year and institute, so always cross-check the specific document list mentioned on your admit card before exam day.
