Previous Year JIPMAT Appeared vs Qualified Stats
The table below compares the total appeared and qualified statistics from JIPMAT 2023, 2024, and 2025. These figures help students understand the competition level and the ratio of qualifiers each year.
| Year | Total Registered | Total Appeared | Appearance Rate | Qualified (Above Cutoff) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JIPMAT 2025 | ~42,000 | ~33,500 | ~80% | ~16,000–18,000 |
| JIPMAT 2024 | ~37,000 | ~29,500 | ~79% | ~13,000–15,000 |
| JIPMAT 2023 | ~32,000 | ~25,500 | ~79% | ~11,000–13,000 |
Registration numbers have grown consistently year-on-year, reflecting the increasing popularity of the 5-year IPM programme. The appearance rate has remained stable at 78–80% across years. Students who register but do not appear are typically those who gain admission through other competitive exams held around the same time. The number of students who qualify above the cutoff has also grown in step with registrations, keeping competition for the limited IPM seats intense.
JIPMAT 2026 Expected Category-wise Qualifier Stats
JIPMAT follows the IIM reservation policy. Category-wise cutoff percentiles are lower for reserved categories, which means more students from those groups qualify relative to seat share. The table below shows expected category-wise qualifier data based on 2025 trends.
| Category | Expected Qualifying Percentile (Based on 2025 Trends) | Approximate Share of Qualifiers |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 95+ percentile | ~50% |
| OBC-NCL | 88–92 percentile | ~27% |
| EWS | 90–93 percentile | ~10% |
| SC | 75–82 percentile | ~8% |
| ST | 65–72 percentile | ~5% |
| PwD | Category cutoff + PwD relaxation | ~3% (horizontal reservation) |
All category-wise percentile figures above are expected based on 2025 trends and are not official JIPMAT 2026 cutoffs. Actual cutoffs depend on exam difficulty, the total number of students who appeared, and the number of seats available. The final merit list — not just the qualifier list — determines actual admission. With only 180–240 combined seats at IIM Jammu and IIM Bodhgaya, competition remains intense even for those who clear the qualifying threshold.
What Does Qualified Mean in JIPMAT?
In JIPMAT, a student is considered qualified when they have appeared in the exam and secured a score at or above the minimum cutoff percentile set by NTA for their respective category. Here is what determines qualification in JIPMAT 2026:
- Appearing in the exam is mandatory — students who are absent are not considered for any merit list regardless of registration.
- Students must score at or above the minimum qualifying percentile set category-wise by NTA.
- A separate merit list is prepared for IIM Jammu and IIM Bodhgaya based on the JIPMAT NTA score.
- There is no interview or Written Ability Test in JIPMAT — admission is entirely score-based.
- The JIPMAT scorecard shows the raw score out of 400, NTA percentile, and section-wise scores for Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension.
- Students must compare their NTA percentile against the category-wise cutoff to assess whether they have qualified.
A high percentile score — 95+ for General category students — is needed to qualify and secure a seat given the limited number of IPM seats across both IIMs. Students whose percentile falls below the qualifying threshold are not included in the merit list even if they appeared in the exam. Checking your JIPMAT 2026 scorecard on June 30, 2026 at the official NTA portal is the first step to knowing your qualification status.
