• For the written exam, you need to have hands-on practice with the aptitude and reasoning section. 
• You need to have good time management skills to ace the exam.
• The next round would be Group Discussion. For this, you have to keep a record of the current affairs of both the World and India along with the domain you are studying, be it Interiors or Civil. 
• Have a sound knowledge of the current technologies and reforms made in the particular domain.
• The last would be the personal interview round. It's quite easy if you have a command over your communication skills. 

An interview is nothing but an interaction. For the preparation, in the case of a fresher, you can tell your accomplishments during the time of graduation. If you are a working individual, you can share your learning, experiences, and the contribution you have made in the industry while working tenure.

IIM Indore conducts an entrance exam called IPMAT (IPM Aptitude Test) for inducting students in its 5-year Integrated Program in Management (IPM) course, the form for which is usually released in the month of May each year.

The test has three sections, i.e. Quantitative Ability (MCQ), Quantitative Ability (Short Answer), and Verbal Ability (VA).

A good grip on class 10 mathematics will definitely help you.

In English, you need to be proficient in the language. Grammar, reading comprehension through paragraphs, and punctuations are some of the most important topics to cover in the language section. I hope if you practice enough, you can easily cross the cutoff of the test.
