Expert take: what IPMAT really tests
IPMAT (IIM Indore) lets strong Class-12 students enter an IIM at 18, and its quantitative sections dominate — including a short-answer quant section with no negative marking. The under-20 age cap makes it a now-or-never exam for most applicants, so a focused single-year run matters.
Preparation tips
- Bank the no-negative short-answer quant marks — they are free of the +4/−1 penalty.
- On MCQs, use the +4/−1 marking to decide when to skip rather than guess.
- Prepare the Writing Ability Test and interview in parallel — the exam is only the shortlisting stage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Missing the strict under-20 age eligibility and applying when no longer eligible.
- Guessing carelessly on MCQs and surrendering marks to the negative-marking penalty.
