Admission at IPM offering Colleges other than IIMs

  • For IIM Indore, you only need to apply for the IPMAT Indore Examination on their portal.
  • But for any other IPMAT exam colleges, you must also register on their portal. For example, IIM Ranchi, IIFT Kakinada, T A Pai Management Institute, Manipal, etc., all have separate application portals on their websites.
  • You have to fill out the application form on these websites before the deadline, usually before the IPMAT exam date only.
  • After the results are out, these institutes will consider your IPMAT Indore score for merit list admissions.

Note: IPM colleges that accept Indore scores have unique admission criteria beyond past academic performance, which you will need to satisfy.

Make sure to keep an eye on the IPMAT Colleges list if you are preparing for the IPM exam

To clear the exam and get into these colleges, you need to do an IPMAT exam analysis of previous years.
