Hello,

You can start your preparation from 12th standard, but you need to manage your studies and entrance test well, and this requires a well organized time table on your part, anyway to provide you a brief regarding IPMAT, its eligibility  criteria is passed 10+2 from a recognized board having mandatory 60% in 10th as well as 12th, for SC/ST/PwD it's 55%. . This year the exam pattern has gone through a change which I have discussed in a detailed manner as below-

• The entrance test is conducted for  a duration of 90 minutes in online mode , there are mainly three sections Quantitative Aptitude has MCQs and Short-Answer questions with each having time bound of 30 minutes carrying 20 questions for MCQs and 10 questions for short answer, and Verbal Ability (MCQs) carrying 30 questions are to be answered in 30 minutes.
• For each correct answer, four marks are awarded.
• There is negative marking scheme, for each wrong answer one mark will be deducted except short answer of quantitative aptitude section which doesn't carry any negative marking.

Coming to the syllabus portion of each section-

• The section of Quantitative Aptitude consists of Number systems, Data Interpretation, Averages, Quantitative reasoning, Distance, Time and Work, Mixtures and Alligations, Interpretation of tables, Common graphs & charts , etc.
• The section of Verbal Ability consists of Sentence completion, Synonyms, Antonyms, Idioms, and Phrases, Comprehension of passages, Proper Usage of Words, Vocabulary, Grammar, Fill in the Blanks etc.

Recommended Books:

It's important to use appropriate yet limited study materials, also consistent practice is the key here towards excellence

• For Quantitative Aptitude, you can use NCERTs class 11th and 12th for conceptual understanding, and later on can choose between "How to prepare for Quantitative Aptitude for the CAT" by Arun Sharma, or The Pearson Guide to Quantitative Aptitude for competitive exams.
• For English Section, you can use Wren and Martin book for Grammar, Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis is a great book for vocabulary building, some of the books for particularly this exam are How to prepare for  Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension for the CAT, by Arun Sharma and Meenakshi Upadhyay, The Pearson Guide to IIM-Indore-IPM Entrance Examination.

Based on the aptitude test scores, candidates will be further shortlisted for written ability test, personal interview, and eventually merit list will be prepared based on composite scores of each category.

Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing well.

Every year, thousands of students seek for admission to the IIMs' MBA programmes, which are among the most prestigious in the world. Because the total number of seats available at all 20 IIMs is about 4000, not everyone is admitted. Once the initial list of chosen applicants is released, a second batch of selected students is held on standby in case any of the first group decides to decline their position. The seat is then given to the next most qualified applicant to fill it. The word "waitlist" refers to a list of students who are waiting for someone to voluntarily give up their place.

The IIM waitlist is mostly comprised of the amount of seats that have been promoted from the waitlist slab to the offer level. Students spend an inordinate amount of time for the waitlists of IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA), IIM Bangalore (IIMB), and IIM Calcutta (IIMC) to move in order for their prospects of admission to become more favourable. This has been seen year after year. Nonetheless, the newly formed and growing IIM waiting movement has recently attracted widespread notice.

The movement of the waitlist at IIMs and a few other top MBA schools is based on the category. General categories are subjected to very strict criteria, while the SC, ST, OBC and PWD categories are given considerable leeway in their requirements.

IIM Lucknow does not publish a queue for admission. Instead, they publish the merit list, which is more appropriate. In order to be guaranteed a spot on the merit list, a student must get the bare minimum of 12 out of 40 points in the preliminary examination.

Dear Student,

If you want to go for coaching, below stated factors are to consider while choosing which institute is the best.

1. Faculty - Whenever you choose a coaching, remember to study at least one demo class by the faculty there.  You must look for those guiding teachers that can guide you to develop the right strategies for the exam and personality to crack the interview. If possible, take feedback of students who have previously attended classes in the coaching institute and compare with others.
   
   
2. Study Material - CAT and IPMAT are very similar. Hence in most cases you may find that the coaching material provided from IPMAT is similar to that for CAT. It is therefore important to choose an institute which caters to a comprehensive approach at 10+2/BBA level. Choose a coaching that makes you understand whether the concepts are clearly detailed out and enough examples and mock tests are given for practice.
   
   
3. Mock Tests - These are very important for your preparation for any competitive exam. Choose an institute which has a wide series of mock tests specially curated for IPMAT. Along with this also look at the number of enrollees for these exams. An institute where maximum number of aspirants take mock test definitely gives you a better estimate of where you stand and can help you replicate the real scenario. You can thereby improve.
   
   
4. Personal Training - Given that IPMAT also has an interview process, it is very important that you are nurtured accordingly. Also at this stage you need lot of help in analysing the papers, strengths, weakness and guidance for your exam strategies. An institute where faculty/assigned mentor can devote time into your preparation should be the first choice.

Considering all the above factors make a decision on the institute you want to join. Below mentioned are few coaching classes for IPMAT in Surat:

• Vegas Consultancy Services
• LK Academy
• VPROV Learning Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
• Manoeuvre
• Cerebral Learning Solution Private Limited
• Edu Mentor

• Mindworkzz

• ELITE Overseas Education Consultants

• MegaEducare
  
  

Happy Learning!

Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well.

The only way to get into an IIM is to clear CAT examination with the required percentile and academic score up to the mark. Usually a 95 percentile with 80% and above in 10th, 12th and graduation. Clearing IPMAT exam will not help you in getting admission in any IIM.

Hope that you got the answer to your question. Feel free to comment back incase of any doubts. All the Best!
