In this article, students will learn about the essential details of the JIPMAT exam like important dates, eligibility, syllabus, registration, and more.
JIPMAT 2027
JIPMAT 2027, or Joint Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test, is a unique opportunity for 12th-grade students to pursue a 5-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) at IIM Jammu or IIM Bodh Gaya. Conducted by NTA, this program combines BBA and MBA degrees over five years.
The JIPMAT application forms are expected to be available in April 2027. The exam lasts 150 minutes (2.5 hours) and consists of 100 questions across Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, and Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning.
JIPMAT serves as an alternative pathway to gain admission to these IIMs with relatively lower competition compared to CAT. The IPM program allows students to exit with a bachelor's degree in Management Studies after three years or continue for the full five years to earn an MBA qualification.
Eligibility (Tentative):
Candidates should have passed the 10+2/XII/HSC examination in Arts/Commerce/Science stream or equivalent in 2025, 2026, or appearing in 2027. The candidate must have passed the 10th class examination not before 2022. Minimum marks requirements are typically 60% aggregate (55% for SC/ST/PwD) in both Class 10 and 12.
The IIMs (Bodh Gaya and Jammu) may have slight variations in eligibility; candidates should refer to the official websites of IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu for exact criteria once released.
