IPMAT (Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test) is the entrance exam conducted by IIM Indore for admission to its IPM. The test is usually conducted in computer-based mode. It consists of three sections: Quantitative Ability (Multiple Choice Questions), Quantitative Ability (Short Answer questions), and Verbal Ability (Multiple Choice Questions). The exam duration is typically 2 hours. There is negative marking for MCQs (usually -1 for each incorrect answer), while short answer questions do not carry negative marking. The number of questions and marking scheme may vary slightly each year as per official notification.
