Integrated Program in Management (IPM) is one of the country's most prestigious and sought-after dual degree programs. IIM Amritsar, IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak, IIM Jammu, IIM Bodh Gaya, IIM Ranchi, and IIM Shillong welcome students for this 5-year integrated program in management. In order to gain admission to this program, students are expected to appear for the Integrated Program in Management Admission Test (IPMAT) and/or Joint Integrated Program in Management Aptitude Test (JIPMAT).
Please note that while all these IIMs welcome students to their IPM program with the same energy, their entrance examination and/or conducting body is different. IIM Indore, IIM Amritsar, IIM Ranchi, and IIM Shillong accept IPMAT Indore. IIM Rohtak conducts its own IPMAT. Lastly, IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu accept JIPMAT, which is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Cut-off is the minimum marks criteria required for admissions to the exam’s designated program. Every candidate who is aware of the previous year's IPMAT cut-off can be better informed in order to analyze the exam difficulty level. While the official information mentioning the cut-offs is not released by the respective IIMs and/or conducting agencies.

What Happens After the IPMAT Results are Released?
Once the results are out, candidates are called in for the Personal Interview (PI) round. PI has been mandated in IPMAT Indore and IPMAT Rohtak with the aim of assessing the candidate’s personality, communication skills, and on-the-spot knowledge of topics. Following so, potential candidates are selected on the basis of their performance in IPMAT, PI and past academic record. The weightage of this criterion is different, however, equally important.
How is the Composite Score Calculated?
IIM Indore also mandates a sectional cut-off apart from the overall cut-off. Hence, it is important to do equally well in all the sections to maximize your scores. Additionally, the introduction of sectional time from IPMAT calls for test takers to devote extra attention to maintaining speed and accuracy.
The overall as well as the sectional cut-offs have progressively increased over the years’ and so has the number of test takers. To ace the exam with flying colors, it is important to get your basics strong and practice an ample number of IPM mock tests. The following table provides tentative information on how the Aptitude Test Score (ATS) is calculated:
