IPMAT 2027 Quantitative Ability (QA) Syllabus

IPMAT Indore tests Quantitative Ability across two distinct sub-sections — QA (MCQ) with 30 questions and QA (Short Answer/TITA) with 15 questions, where candidates type the exact numerical answer with no options and no negative marking. IPMAT Rohtak tests the same QA topics purely as MCQs. Topics are drawn from Class 9th to 12th Mathematics.

5. Modern Math & Data Interpretation: The important topics are as follows:

Since IPMAT Indore's Short Answer section carries no negative marking, aspirants should attempt every SA question, prioritising speed and mental calculation without a calculator. Building concept clarity from Class 9th–12th NCERT textbooks and practicing both MCQ and Short Answer formats is key.

IPMAT 2027 Logical Reasoning (LR) Syllabus

Logical Reasoning is tested only in IPMAT Rohtak as a dedicated MCQ section of 40 questions — IPMAT Indore does not have a separate LR section. This section evaluates a candidate's ability to think analytically and solve pattern-based problems within a flexible, un-sectioned time limit.

Key Topics

• Blood Relations
• Coding-Decoding
• Set Theory
• Logical Venn Diagrams
• Syllogism
• Puzzles and Seating Arrangement
• Calendar and Clock Problems
• Letter Series Completion
• Analogy
• Direction Sense

Since IPMAT Rohtak has no sectional time limit, candidates can move freely between QA, LR and VA — making it important to identify and attempt easier LR sets first to maximise accuracy.

IPMAT 2027 Verbal Ability (VA) Syllabus

Verbal Ability is tested in both IPMAT Indore (45 MCQs, worth 180 out of 360 marks — as much as both Quant sections combined) and IPMAT Rohtak (40 MCQs). It evaluates a candidate's command over English through reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary-based questions. Notably, IPMAT does not test General Knowledge or Current Affairs, unlike some other BBA entrance exams.

Key Topics

• Reading Comprehension – short and long passages
• Para Jumbles & Para Completion
• Sentence Correction & Error Detection
• Cloze Test
• Vocabulary – Synonyms, Antonyms, Fill in the Blanks
• Idioms, Phrases & Phrasal Verbs
• Verbal Analogies
• Critical Reasoning-based Verbal Questions

Since Verbal Ability carries the single highest weightage in IPMAT Indore, aspirants should build a daily reading habit across newspapers and editorials, and practice grammar and vocabulary consistently rather than cramming closer to the exam.

IPMAT 2027 Exam Pattern: Section-Wise Marks and Marking Scheme

IPMAT is conducted as a computer-based test, with IIM Indore dividing the paper into Quantitative Ability (MCQ), Quantitative Ability (Short Answer) and Verbal Ability, while IIM Rohtak tests Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning and Verbal Ability. Both exams run for 120 minutes.

Marking Scheme

• MCQ Sections: +4 for a correct answer, -1 for every wrong answer
• Short Answer (TITA) Section: +4 for a correct answer, no negative marking
• Total Duration: 120 minutes for both IIM Indore & IIM Rohtak

Since the exact section-wise question count is notified closer to the exam, aspirants should focus on building speed in MCQs and accuracy in Short Answer questions, as strategy differs slightly for Indore and Rohtak.
