Preparation for IPMAT should focus on strengthening Quantitative Ability and Verbal Ability. For Quantitative Ability, students should revise arithmetic (percentages, ratios, time and work, profit and loss), algebra, number systems, and basic calculus concepts at Class 10–12 level. For Verbal Ability, regular reading of newspapers, practice of reading comprehension, grammar rules, vocabulary building, and logical reasoning exercises are essential. Solving previous years’ question papers and taking mock tests helps improve speed and accuracy. Consistent practice and time management are crucial due to sectional cutoffs.
