Current trends make it clear that a balanced score across all areas matters, since in 2026 the cutoff for the General-category QA-SA was 24.

Although the cutoff for the IPMAT Indore 2027 will depend on the difficulty of the exam, the performance of the candidates, and the level of competition, students should aim well above the expected sectional standards as a precaution. The exact cutoff will not be known until IIM Indore publishes the official admission criteria and results.

The IPMAT Indore 2027 PI round is tentatively expected to be conducted in the third week of July 2027.
