Before starting with the exam preparation, carefully read all the instructions provided on the IPMAT question paper. This will ensure you are clear about the exam format and any specific guidelines.
Familiarise with Computer-Based Test Format: Since IPMAT 2026 will be conducted in computer-based mode, it's crucial to get accustomed to onscreen reading. Remember, only one question will be displayed on the screen at a time, so focus on answering each question efficiently.
Adhere to Sectional Time Limits: Each section of the IPMAT question paper must be completed within 40 minutes. Keep a close watch on the timer as the section will automatically move to the next once the time is up. Proper time management is essential to avoid leaving questions unanswered.
Efficient Time Management: The overall IPMAT 2026 exam time is limited, and the exam window will close once the time is over. Avoid spending too much time on any single question. If you're unsure about an answer, move on to the next question to maximise the number of questions you can attempt.
Be Mindful of Negative Marking: For IPMAT 2026, Negative marking is in place, with one mark deducted for each incorrect answer. If you're uncertain about a question, it may be better to skip it rather than risk losing marks for a wrong answer.
A good result in the IPMAT entrance exam does not depend on how well you have prepared but on how well you have performed in the exam and how you handle those crucial hours.
