In comparison to IIM Indore and DUJAT, IIM IPM Rohtak Aptitude Test does not include questions from 11th and 12th-grade mathematics. The IIM Rohtak Math section focuses primarily on Quantitative Aptitude.

How can I prepare for IIM Indore or IIM Rohtak IPM exams? I am currently in class 11 with commerce stream and ISC board (and not showing off, I got a 93 avg in English, class 10 ICSE board).

SL
Saija Luthra Posted On : January 17th, 2023
IPM from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Expected 2024)

Your English grades have no bearing on your ability to perform well at either IIM Indore, or IIM Rohtak, IPM exams. The type of English skills required to pass the IPMAT (or any other entrance exam) differs greatly from what is taught in schools. You have plenty of time to prepare and will undoubtedly do well if you are consistent in your preparation.

Begin with Pearson's IPM entry guide. There are currently no IPM-specific books available from any other publisher. Check to see if you can answer the questions. If you believe that a book alone will not suffice, consider taking online classes from a reputable coaching institute.

Entrance is not the only selection criterion; you must also prepare for the PIWAT. Practice writing essays for the WAT (Written Ability Test). The actual topic could be anything under the sun, so you must be adaptable enough to come up with something creative in 20 minutes. Look for previous WAT IPM and CAT topics online and practice them. You'll get better with practice.

Then there's PI. The conversation usually revolves around your academics, general knowledge, hobby, or general HR concerns. For that, you must be well-versed in current events from the previous six months as well as your 12th syllabus. Do general knowledge and current events in addition to your regular preparation, and brush up on your academics a week before the interview.

As mentioned in the table, current affairs are a part of paper-1 in prelims. There is no definite syllabus for current affairs; anything can come under the sun. The pattern is not fixed in current affairs. Therefore, it is safe to study both currents as well as static.

Sources: 

Current Affairs Magazine: 

Since general knowledge is required only for prelims, it's better to follow current affairs magazines rather than following daily newspapers. 

  • Made easy’s yearly current affairs magazine is most recommended. 
  • Coaching institutes also provide current affairs notes to their students. The combination of coaching material and current affairs magazine is more than enough for the general knowledge section.

English Bazaar: There are a lot of online sites where students can get sufficient current affairs materials for preparation. Exambazaar is one such website. It provides current affairs in a structured and organized manner. Segregated into different categories, such as- 

  • National
  • International
  • Business and Economy
  • Banking
  • Sports
  • Important Dates
  • MoU agreements
  • Govt. policies and schemes

The new contains just gist and related topics. It is quite easy to understand and remember. Englishbazzer also has monthly and weekly capsules of current affairs. 

So, subscribe to the daily current affairs resource which is convenient for you and get them mailed. In this way, you can read them every day and also revise.

How do I prepare for the NICMAR entrance exam if I'm planning to get a top 5 percentage scholarship?

DD
Dev Dixit Posted On : September 29th, 2021
Studied Advanced Construction Management at the National Institute of Construction Management and Research (2019)

In the NICMAR admission process, maximum weightage is carried by NCAT Exam (150 Marks). It has three sections which are as follows:

Preparation Time: 3 Months 

  • Quant: R.S Aggarwal or equivalent aptitude books will be best for this section. Some questions are really easy that can be solved in less than a minute. If you want to maximize your score, practice moderate-level questions of other MBA entrance exams. Be thorough with percentages, allegations and mixtures, ratios, time speed, and distance, and like topics as questions are asked from these topics. 
  • Data Interpretations: There are multiple books available for Bank PO Exams in which such sets are available. You can just go through them. It is sort of a puzzle so you will have fun doing it.
  • Verbal and GK: Reading Comprehension is very easy. Just practice a few comprehension available in any competitive exam book. This section also tests your vocabulary as synonyms and antonyms questions will be based on your vocabulary. GK questions are really easy and you’d have read them somewhere even if you are not a news freak. To sum up, if you read the newspaper daily and practice a few comprehensions, synonym antonym, grammar questions, you are more than ready for this section.

In NCAT, speed matters the most. You should solve the easy questions first. Do not waste your time if you are finding any questions tough. Just move on. Most importantly, you should improve your grade in UG. Participate in competitions and earn certification. Nothing much can be done as what you have done earlier matters here.

During the personal interview, brush up on your basics of civil engineering (concrete and building material especially). The basic HR questions will be asked like why do you want to join NICMAR, what are your long-term goals etc. They also test your speaking skills by giving you a topic to speak on. So, you can also practice it as it will be good for you in the longer run.
