    IPMAT vs JIPMAT – What are the Differences Between the Two?

    06 April, 2023

    Introduced in 2011, the Integrated Programme in Management has since grown into a premier option for ambitious students looking to develop the right management skills early in their careers. The IPM promises a certified holistic approach that inculcates strong foundational knowledge of business and management principles in students and nurtures them to be sound business leaders down the line. It is a five-year undergraduate programme that combines three years of BBA and two years of MBA into an integrated course.

    Many IIMs, including IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak, IIM Ranchi, IIM Jammu, and IIM Bodh Gaya, offer this course. But all of them have different exams and eligibility criteria. This blog will explore the differences between Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test Indore (for IIM Indore) and Joint Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test (for IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya).

    Exam pattern

    The IPMAT Indore exam pattern consists of three sections:

    • Quantitative Ability (MCQ) – This section tests students’ abilities to analyse problems, deduce data, and generate innovative solutions in a limited timeframe. 

    It has 40 questions and 40 minutes to answer them all. 30% of the total weightage is given to this section. 

    • Quantitative Ability (Short Answer Type) – This section has no negative marking and allows the aspirants to showcase their creative problem-solving skills. 

    There are 20 questions to be answered in 40 minutes, accounting for 35% of the total weightage. 

    • Verbal Ability – The communication skills of students in the English language are brought to the fore here.

    The JIPMAT exam pattern also consists of three sections, albeit structured a little differently.
