• The questions in this section were limited to the JIPMAT syllabus and what is usually asked in the JIPMAT Exam Paper. Nothing beyond what should have appeared was asked in the Verbal Ability section.
• In fact, on the whole, this section should have proved to be a time-saver for students struggling to complete the other two sections.

IIM Jammu Selection Criteria: 

• JIPMAT score holds 95% weightage.
• 5% for Gender diversity, where an extra 5% out of the total score will be given to female candidates.
• Students will be taking the exam for 120 JIPMAT seats.
