IPMAT Rohtak 2026: Eligibility, Exam Pattern, Marking Scheme & Selection Process (Complete Guide)

Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test (IPMAT) is a national-level entrance test conducted by IIM Rohtak for the 5-year integrated programme in management at IIM Rohtak. Under this, students get dual degrees: BBA + MBA. However, there is an exit option post 3 years under certain conditions. Compared to the traditional path of taking the CAT for an IIM tag, IPMAT offers a less competitive and comparatively easier route to achieving that same IIM goal.

In this case, the percentage is based on the aggregate of the best five subjects appearing on the marksheet, regardless of the overall percentage calculated by the board.

Students appearing for the 12th board exams can also apply for IPMAT, provided that they have their results before the final admission process.
