Originals vs Photocopies: What to Carry
IIM Indore collects photocopies during verification and returns originals after the process. Carry at least two sets of self-attested photocopies for each document. To self-attest, sign on the photocopy and write ’Certified True Copy’ with the date.
| Document | Original Required | Photocopies (Self-Attested) |
|---|---|---|
| PI Call Letter | Yes (keep with you at all times) | 1 copy |
| Government Photo ID | Yes (for spot verification) | 2 copies |
| Class 10 Marksheet and Certificate | Yes | 2 copies each |
| Class 12 Marksheet | Yes | 2 copies |
| Category Certificate | Yes | 2 copies |
| Passport-Size Photographs | Not applicable | 4–6 copies |
Keep originals in a separate folder and do not hand them over unless specifically asked by an IIM Indore representative at the PI venue.
Category-Wise Document Requirements
Students applying under reserved or special categories must carry valid certificates from the competent authority. OBC-NCL and EWS certificates must be valid for the current financial year (FY 2025–26). Expired or previous-year certificates are not accepted at the PI.
| Category | Certificate Required | Issuing Authority |
|---|---|---|
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | Caste Certificate | Revenue Officer / SDM / Competent State Authority |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | Tribe Certificate | Revenue Officer / SDM / Competent State Authority |
| OBC-NCL | OBC-NCL Certificate (FY 2025–26) | Competent authority as per central government norms |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | EWS Income and Asset Certificate (FY 2025–26) | District Magistrate / SDM / Tehsildar |
| PWD / DAP (Person with Disability) | Disability Certificate | Government hospital / Authorized Medical Board |
If your OBC-NCL or EWS certificate is from the previous financial year, get a fresh one before the PI date. IIM Indore does not accept outdated category certificates.
Important Tips for IPMAT 2026 PI Day
Follow these points to be fully prepared for your IPMAT 2026 Personal Interview at IIM Indore:
- Organise all documents the night before — arrange them in a folder in the order they will be verified.
- Check your PI call letter for your exact date, time, and venue — IIM Indore schedules PIs across multiple dates and slots.
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your slot — document verification begins before you enter the PI room.
- Your passport-size photographs must match the one in your IPMAT 2026 application — avoid last-minute retakes with a different background or attire.
- Carry documents in transparent plastic sleeves or a clear binder to keep them clean and accessible.
- If Class 12 results are awaited, carry your board exam admit card as a substitute for the marksheet.
- Keep a digital backup of all documents in your email or phone as a safety net in case a printed copy is damaged.
