So Tanishq I would suggest that you focus a little more on scoring high in this entrance exam because even if you get 90+ in your boards and do not have good scores in IPMAT then you will end getting no college but if you score average in your board exam and score high in IPMAT then you will get a college for sure so try focusing on IPMAT more . 

However , you should work hard enough to score 60 % for the required eligibilty criteria. 

I hope this article might have helped you answer all your questions if not do drop a comment or post  another answer I will be delighted to help you out .

Hi Aditya,

Thanks for A2A

In order to join IPM you need to give IPMAT. It is more or less similar to CAT and the preparation can be done in a similar manner. The first three years the student does the B.A.(Foundations in MAnagement) while the next two years they get merged with the 2 year MBA program to complete their 5 year degree. There is lot of preperation material online which you can refer to.

All the best
