How to Use IPMAT Indore Previous Year Papers?
- Time each section at 40 minutes. Sections are locked to their own 40 minutes, so practise them one at a time. At the 2026 reported counts, that is about 80 seconds per Quant MCQ, 2 minutes 40 seconds per Short Answer and 53 seconds per Verbal question.
- Attempt every Short Answer question. Short Answer has no negative marking, so type an answer for each one. In the MCQ sections a wrong answer costs 1 of the 4 marks, so answer only when you can rule out options.
- Start with 2021 and 2020, which are laid out in today’s three sections. Use the 100-question 2019 paper for extra Quant and Verbal practice.
- Check answers yourself. Only the 2022 memory-based paper gives answers, and they are unofficial. About six months remain before May 2027, with applications expected from February 2027.
