What is IPMAT 2027?
IPMAT stands for Integrated Program in Management Aptitude Test. It is a management entrance exam for students who want to join a 5-year BBA + MBA integrated course right after Class 12. The program is called the Integrated Program in Management, or IPM.
Two of India’s top IIMs — IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak — run IPM programmes. Each conducts its own IPMAT exam. They are completely separate tests. If you want to apply to both IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak, you must register and appear for both exams separately.
IPMAT Indore is conducted by IIM Indore at its campus in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. IPMAT Rohtak is conducted by IIM Rohtak in Rohtak, Haryana. Both exams are held in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode across multiple cities in India.
Apart from IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak, some other IIMs — like IIM Ranchi, IIM Shillong, and IIM Amritsar — also offer IPM programmes and accept IPMAT Indore scores for admission. There is also a separate exam called JIPMAT, conducted by NTA for IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu. JIPMAT is a different exam — do not confuse it with IPMAT.

IPMAT Indore 2027 Exam Pattern
IPMAT Indore has three sections. Sections 1 and 2 test Quantitative Ability, and Section 3 tests Verbal Ability. Each section has a separate time limit of 40 minutes. Once a section’s time is over, you cannot go back to it.

Each correct answer gives you +4 marks. A wrong answer in the MCQ sections costs -1 mark. The Short Answer section has no negative marking — you should attempt all 15 questions there.
IPMAT Rohtak 2027 Exam Pattern
IPMAT Rohtak has three sections — Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning, and Verbal Ability. All questions are MCQs. The exam covers a broader range of topics than IPMAT Indore, with a dedicated Logical Reasoning section.

IPMAT 2027 Admit Card
The IPMAT 2027 admit card will be released about 2 to 3 weeks before the exam. You can download it from the official websites by logging in with your application number and date of birth.
For IPMAT Indore 2027, the admit card is expected in the third week of April 2027. For IPMAT Rohtak 2027, the admit card is also expected around the same time.

- Exam centre name and address
- Exam date, reporting time, and gate closing time

- Important instructions for exam day conduct
You must carry a printed copy of the IPMAT admit card to the exam centre. Without it, you will not be allowed to enter the examination hall.
Along with the admit card, carry a valid photo ID — such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, or a school/college ID card. Both documents are required at the exam centre. Report at least 30 minutes before the exam starts, as late entry is generally not permitted.
IPMAT 2027 Result
The IPMAT 2027 result will be declared in two stages. First, IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak will release the PI shortlist — a list of candidates who cleared the sectional cutoffs and are called for the Personal Interview (PI) round. The final merit list is then released after the PI and WAT rounds are complete.
For IPMAT Indore 2027, the PI shortlist is expected in the last week of May 2027. The IPMAT Rohtak result is expected around the first week of June 2027.
In 2026, IIM Indore released the PI shortlist on May 25, 2026 — 21 days after the exam on May 4th, 2026. Out of 17,916 candidates who scored positive marks, only 838 cleared all sectional cutoffs and made it to the shortlist. This reflects how competitive the selection process at IIM Indore is.
To check your IPMAT 2027 result, you need to:
- Go to iimidr.ac.in (for Indore) or admission.iimrohtak.ac.in (for Rohtak)
- Log in with your application number and date of birth
- Download and save your scorecard from the portal
The scorecard will show your section-wise marks, overall marks, and whether you are shortlisted for the PI and WAT round. If you are shortlisted, interview call letters and schedules will be shared via email and the portal.
IPMAT 2027 Cutoff
IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak apply both sectional cutoffs and an overall cutoff. To get shortlisted for the PI round, you must clear the sectional cutoff in each section AND meet the overall score requirement. Missing either one will remove you from the shortlist, no matter how well you scored in the other sections.
IPMAT 2027 official cutoffs will be declared along with the result. Until then, here is what the cutoffs looked like in previous years as a guide for your preparation targets.
IPMAT Indore — Expected Cutoff 2027
Based on 2025 and 2026 trends, the expected General category overall cutoff for IPMAT Indore 2027 is in the range of 170–200 out of 360. Clearing every sectional cutoff is as important as your total score.
| Section | Expected Sectional Cutoff — General | Expected Sectional Cutoff — SC/ST/PwD |
|---|---|---|
| Quantitative Ability (MCQ) | 22–28 marks | Lower (relaxation applies) |
| Quantitative Ability (Short Answer) | 30–40 marks | Lower (relaxation applies) |
| Verbal Ability (MCQ) | 100–120 marks | Lower (relaxation applies) |
| Overall (out of 360) | 170–200 marks | Lower (relaxation applies) |
These are indicative estimates based on previous year trends, not officially declared figures. The IPMAT 2027 official cutoff will be announced with the result.
IPMAT Indore — Cutoff Trend (Previous Years)
| Year | General Category Cutoff (approx. overall) | Total Marks |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 180–190 (estimated) | 360 |
| 2025 | 170–185 (estimated) | 360 |
| 2024 | 175–190 (estimated) | 360 |
The cutoff shifts based on paper difficulty and the number of candidates. A tougher paper generally brings the cutoff down. For IPMAT Indore 2026, 838 students were shortlisted out of more than 30,000 who registered — making the effective admission rate below 3%.
IPMAT 2027 Marks vs Score Analysis
Your IPMAT score tells you how likely you are to get a PI shortlist call. A higher score improves your chances at IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak, and the other IIMs that accept IPMAT scores. Here is a general guide to understanding what different score ranges mean for your shortlist prospects.
IPMAT Indore — Score vs Shortlist Chances (Expected 2027)
| Score Range (out of 360) | PI Shortlist Chances — General Category |
|---|---|
| 220 and above | Very High — Strong chance of PI call from IIM Indore |
| 200–220 | High — Good chance, especially if sectional scores are balanced |
| 180–200 | Moderate — Borderline; depends heavily on sectional cutoff clearance |
| 160–180 | Low — May clear overall but risk failing individual sectional cutoffs |
| Below 160 | Very Low — Unlikely to clear all sectional cutoffs |
Scoring above 200 out of 360 in IPMAT Indore is generally considered a safe target. In 2026, only 838 out of 17,916 positive-scorers made the PI shortlist. Sectional balance matters more than just a high total score — a very high VA score cannot compensate for missing the QA sectional cutoff.
Your IPMAT score is not the only factor in the final selection. Admission at IIM Indore is based on IPMAT Score (65%) + WAT-PI Score (35%). A strong PI can lift a borderline score into the final merit list.
IPMAT 2027 Selection Process
Getting into IIM Indore or IIM Rohtak through IPMAT is a two-stage process. You first need to clear the IPMAT exam and meet the cutoff to get shortlisted for the PI round. Then, your final admission depends on a combination of your IPMAT score and your performance in the interview stage.
IIM Indore IPM 2027 Selection Process
- Stage 1 — IPMAT Exam: Appear for the IPMAT Indore exam. Clear both the sectional cutoffs and the overall cutoff to get shortlisted for Stage 2.
- Stage 2 — WAT and PI: Shortlisted candidates are called for a Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) at IIM Indore’s campus in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The WAT-PI round is expected in June 2027.
The final merit for IIM Indore is calculated as: IPMAT Score (65%) + WAT-PI Score (35%).
IIM Rohtak IPM 2027 Selection Process
- Stage 1 — IPMAT Rohtak Exam: Appear for the IPMAT Rohtak exam. Clear the aptitude test cutoffs to get shortlisted.
- Stage 2 — Personal Interview (PI): Shortlisted candidates attend a PI at IIM Rohtak’s campus in Rohtak, Haryana. The PI is expected in June 2027.
The final merit for IIM Rohtak is based on: Aptitude Test Score (55%) + Past Academic Performance (30%) + PI (15%). This means your Class 10 and 12 marks carry significant weight in the final selection at IIM Rohtak.
Both IIMs release the final merit lists in July 2027 (expected). Once on the merit list, you will be sent an offer of admission with details about document verification and fee payment.
Top Colleges Accepting IPMAT 2027
IPMAT Indore score is accepted by several IIMs and top management institutes for their 5-year IPM programmes. IIM Rohtak accepts only its own IPMAT Rohtak score for its IPM programme. Here is a list of key institutes you can target with your IPMAT 2027 score.

| IIM Amritsar | IPM — 5-year BBA + MBA | 60 | IPMAT Indore score |
| IIFT Kakinada | BBA (International Business) | 60 | IPMAT Indore score |
Some of these colleges — like IIM Ranchi and IIM Shillong — require you to apply separately on their own portals, even though they accept IPMAT Indore scores. Always check the official website of each college for their individual application process, deadlines, and eligibility criteria.
If you are targeting IIM Bodh Gaya or IIM Jammu, note that these IIMs use JIPMAT — a different exam conducted by NTA. You must apply for JIPMAT separately.
IPMAT 2027 Preparation Tips
IPMAT is tough, but with a structured plan you can crack it. The key is to start early, practise consistently, and work on both speed and accuracy. Here are some practical tips for IPMAT 2027 preparation.
1. Understand the Pattern Before You Start
IPMAT Indore and IPMAT Rohtak have different patterns. If you are applying to both, you need to prepare the Logical Reasoning section for Rohtak and the Short Answer (type-in) questions for Indore. Know what each exam expects before you start studying.
2. Build Your Maths Foundation First
IPMAT covers topics from Class 9 to Class 12. Start by building a strong base in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. For IPMAT Indore, you also need to prepare trigonometry and basic calculus — topics that go beyond the usual Class 10 level.
3. Focus on Verbal Ability for IPMAT Indore
The Verbal Ability section in IPMAT Indore has 45 questions out of 90 total. It carries half the total marks. Reading Comprehension is the biggest topic — practise 2 to 3 RC passages daily to build speed and comprehension. Work on vocabulary every day too.
4. Attempt All Short Answer Questions
The QA Short Answer section in IPMAT Indore has no negative marking. You should attempt all 15 questions. Practise typing numerical answers quickly and accurately on a computer, as you will enter them digitally during the actual test.
5. Take Full-Length Mock Tests
Start taking full-length mock tests at least 3 months before the exam. After each mock, analyse your mistakes section by section. Identify your weak topics and spend more time on them. Even improving by 5 to 10 marks per mock over time makes a big difference by exam day.
6. Manage Time Within Each Section
Each section in IPMAT Indore is 40 minutes long. Once a section ends, you cannot go back. Practise completing each section within the time limit in your mocks. For QA (MCQ), aim for about 80 seconds per question. For VA, aim for about 50 seconds per question on average.
7. Suggested Study Plan by Timeline
- 6–8 months before exam: Cover all Class 9–12 maths topics and English basics. Read one English newspaper daily. Build vocabulary with 10 new words per day.
- 4–6 months before exam: Practise topic-wise questions. Cover every section of the IPMAT syllabus. Start timed practice of individual topics.
- 2–4 months before exam: Take sectional mock tests. Focus on accuracy first, then speed. Review your mistake log weekly.
- Last 2 months: Take full-length mocks 3 times a week. Revise weak areas. Stop learning new topics 2 weeks before the exam.
