Who can apply for IIM Indore IPM 2027?
You can apply if you have passed or are taking Class 12 and meet the age rule. The rules below are from the latest admission procedure (IPM 2026-31 batch); the 2027 procedure will give the new birth-date and passing-year limits.
- Age: born on or after 1 August 2006 for the 2026 batch. SC, ST and PwD candidates get 5 years of relaxation (born on or after 1 August 2001).
- Class 12: passed in 2024 or 2025, or appearing in 2026. Candidates finishing Class 12 by 31 July 2026 got a provisional offer and had to show their mark sheets and school leaving or migration certificate at registration.
- Class 10: you must have passed Class 10 or SSC.
- Marks: the 2026-31 procedure sets no minimum percentage. Percentages are worked out on all subjects in the mark sheet, whatever the board’s own rule.
- IGCSE and IB (IBDP and IBCP) students can apply; IB students submit the IB Indian Percentage Transcript.
- International applicants follow a separate admission procedure.
These rules differ from IIM Rohtak IPM, which asks for 60% marks in Class 10 and 12, so check each institute’s rules separately.
What is the IPMAT Indore 2027 exam pattern?
IPM AT has three sections of 40 minutes each, 2 hours in all, and every question carries 4 marks. You answer the sections in a fixed order that is the same for all candidates.
| Section | Question type | Time | Wrong answer | Questions in 2026 (reported) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quantitative Ability (MCQ) | Multiple choice | 40 minutes | -1 | 30 |
| Quantitative Ability (SA) | Short answer (you type the answer) | 40 minutes | No negative marking | 15 |
| Verbal Ability (MCQ) | Multiple choice | 40 minutes | -1 | 45 |
| Total | 120 minutes | 90 |
IIM Indore’s procedure does not fix the number of questions; the 2026 counts above are as reported by test-takers in coaching analyses (Hitbullseye). In 2026 the test was computer-based, held from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Past papers are on the IPMAT Indore question papers page.
How does IIM Indore select IPM students?
IIM Indore selects IPM students on the aptitude test and a personal interview (PI); missing either one ends your candidature. The steps are:
- Sectional cut-off: only candidates with a positive raw score and the category-wise minimum marks in all three sections go forward.
- Aptitude Test Score (ATS): each section score is scaled between the lowest and highest scores in this pool and weighted 25 (QA MCQ), 25 (QA SA) and 50 (Verbal Ability).
- PI shortlist: candidates are shortlisted category-wise from the ATS merit list.
- Personal interview: held online or offline as the institute announces, with a minimum score needed in every PI parameter.
- Final merit: category-wise merit lists on the composite score, and provisional offers under Government of India reservation rules.
| Composite score component | Weight |
|---|---|
| Aptitude Test Score (ATS) | 65 |
| Personal interview | 35 |
| Composite score | 100 |
The sanctioned intake for the 2026 batch was 150 seats for domestic applicants, with 27% for NC-OBC, 15% for SC, 7.5% for ST, up to 10% for EWS and 5% for PwD. The 2026 sectional cut-offs are on the IIM Indore IPM result page.
