Are Thinkoraa IPM Indore mock tests free, and how many can I attempt?+
Some are. You can attempt 2 free full-length IPM Indore mock tests and 6 free sectional tests — 2 each for QA (MCQ), QA (SA), VA. The rest of the IPM Indore mock and sectional tests are part of the paid IPM Indore test series and full-course programs.
Do I need to register to attempt the free IPM Indore mock tests?+
Yes. Free tests are taken on the Thinkoraa student platform, so you need a free student account. Registering is free and does not require payment.
What is the IPM Indore exam pattern?+
IPM Indore (IPMAT Indore) has Quantitative Ability (MCQ) — 30 questions, Quantitative Ability (Short Answer) — 15 questions with zero negative marking, and Verbal Ability — 45 MCQs. Each section has a 40-minute sectional limit, for 120 minutes in total. This is based on the 2025/2026 pattern; the official IPMAT 2027 notification has not yet been released.
What is the IPM Indore marking scheme?+
In IPMAT Indore, each correct MCQ gets +4 marks and each wrong MCQ gets -1. The Short Answer section has zero negative marking.
Are calculators allowed in IPM Indore?+
No. IPMAT is a computer-based test that does not permit physical or on-screen calculators, so all Quantitative Ability calculations, including the Short Answer section, must be done manually.
Is IPM Indore different from IPM Rohtak?+
Yes. IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak run separate exams with different patterns, and you apply and pay for each separately. See the
free IPM Rohtak mock tests for the Rohtak pattern.
Who is eligible for IPM Indore?+
Candidates must have passed Class 12 (or be appearing in the exam year) in any stream. Reports differ on whether IIM Indore applies a minimum percentage (some say none, others 60% in Class 10 and 12, with 55% for SC/ST/PwD), so confirm it in the official notice. There is typically a maximum age of around 20 years, with a 5-year relaxation for SC/ST/PwD candidates, set by the conducting IIM.
What happens after the IPM Indore score?+
Shortlisted candidates take a Written Ability Test (WAT), a short essay on a given topic, followed by a Personal Interview (PI). IIM Indore describes its process as IPMAT + WAT + PI, with the final decision based on all stages plus your academic record.
Which institutes accept IPM Indore scores?+
IPMAT Indore scores are used by IIM Indore itself and are reported to be accepted by IIM Ranchi, IIM Amritsar and IIM Sirmaur for their programmes. Other institutes join or leave each year, so check the notice of each institute.
What is the difference between a full-length mock and a sectional test?+
A full-length mock covers all 3 IPM Indore sections — QA (MCQ), QA (SA), VA — and simulates the whole exam. A sectional test, such as the free QA (MCQ) sectional, covers only Quantitative Ability (MCQ) so you can work on that one area in isolation.
How are the free tests different from the paid IPM Indore test series?+
The free tests let you experience Thinkoraa's test platform with 2 full-length mocks and 6 sectionals. The paid IPM Indore test series offers 10 AI-powered full-length IPM Indore (IPMAT) mock tests, 30 sectional tests and 150 chapterwise tests, plus detailed performance analytics, topic-wise performance tracking and accuracy & time analysis.
Where can I see the IPM Indore syllabus, dates and eligibility?+

IPM Indore 2027 guide.
