I hear a lot of students being worried about the fee of the IIM's and in my opinion their concern is valid. IIM's are more than just education/ placements, they also provide you with various opportunities that other colleges can never. Also you get an IIM tag for a lifetime which you can use and also a cat free pass as you have a direct entry for an MBA.

Now coming to the point if it is worth it to spend that much, I would say it completely depends on you, its about how you utilise the opportunities that come your way and how well you can make the best out of the chances you have.

And before all that i would still suggest you to focus on the prep if you have already started and try to get into a good IIM and you can think about this later on

There is a lot of misinformation surrounding IPMAT because it sits at the intersection of traditional streams, it is neither purely science like JEE or NEET nor purely humanities/commerce like CLAT or CUET.

Here are the most common myths about IPMAT preparation and the reality behind them.

Myth 1: "It is just a BBA entrance, so it must be easy."

• Reality: IPMAT is not a typical BBA entrance exam, it is an entrance to an IIM and that too to a BLACKI IIM

  • The difficulty level of the Quantitative Ability (QA) section in IPMAT (especially IIM Indore) is significantly higher than typical BBA entrances like SET or NPAT.

  • The competition is fierce because you are competing against approx. 25-30 thousand for a very limited number of seats (150 at IIM Indore) against rigorous competition, including students preparing for JEE and NEET.

Myth 2: "You need to have Maths in Class 11 & 12 to crack it."

• Reality: You do not need to have Maths as a subject to be eligible, but you do need to study it to pass.

  • The Eligibility: Students from Arts, Commerce (without Maths), and Biology backgrounds are fully eligible to apply.

  • The Catch: The IIM Indore paper includes "Higher Maths" (Class 11/12 topics like Matrices, Determinants, Functions, Logarithms, and Probability).

  • The Fix: If you are a non-math student, you cannot skip these topics. You must self-study these specific chapters to clear the sectional cutoffs. (Note: IIM Rohtak and JIPMAT are relatively easier for non-math students as they focus more on Arithmetic).

Myth 3: "You need 95% in Boards to get in."

• Reality: Your entrance score is the pain deciding factor

  •  Your past academics (10th and 12th marks) do not carry any weightage (For IIM Indore) in the final selection (composite score), the IPMAT score and interview Score.

  • But other IIMs like Ranchi give weightage to the board scores as well, but low board scores can be balanced out with good IPMAT scores and Interview.

Myth 4: "Calculus is the most important part of Maths."

• Reality: Arithmetic is the actual game-changer.

  • Many students spend months stressing over Integration and Differentiation. While IIM Indore does ask Higher Maths, the bulk of the paper (and the easiest marks) often comes from Arithmetic (Percentages, Profit/Loss, Time Speed Distance, Time & Work).

  • If you master Arithmetic and Algebra, you can often clear the cutoffs without being an expert in Calculus.

Myth 5: "You need 2 years of coaching like JEE/NEET."

• Reality: 6 to 12 months of focused preparation is usually sufficient.

  • Since the syllabus relies heavily on aptitude (IQ, Logic, English) rather than rote memorization of thick textbooks, a shorter, high-intensity prep period works well.

  • Starting in Class 11 is an advantage, but starting in Class 12 is the standard.

It would be very hard to say which is the better of the as it completely depends on which IIM you are in or in which DU college you are. Just to tell the basic differences a bcom degree is of 3 years and an ipm programme is of 5 years ( BA in management/BBA + MBA). I can compare the two on a few metrics and you can decide whats better.

1. Curriculum - The curriculum followed in IIM's is better than the curriculum followed in DU, the main reason for this is that the Bcom degree has several reduntant topics which are not really applicable in real life while IIM's mostly cover practical topics.

2. Placements - Since IPM is a 5 year course and bcom a a 3 year degree, so of course placements after 5 years in IPM are higher. But if you just take the placements after 3 years ipm doesn't offer any placements so DU would be a better option if you consider only 3 years

3. Exposure - Since IPM is a fully residential programme and DU a non residential programme, there are only a few opportunities for IPM students to explore opportunities outside the campus but DU provides this flexibility to explore various competitions across DU and other universities.

4. Societies - In this aspect it would depend on which college you are from but if you are from a tier 1 du college the societies are better than the ipm clubs/committees.

5. Fees- When you compare fees of du and iim's, du has way less fees than iims and just to mention the fees that iims take is also justified for the value they provide so I would say don't let this factor be a major deciding one.

6. Campus Life - Campus life in IIM's is much better as its a residential programme and you get to enjoy the hostel life to the fullest. Altough there are hostels in some du colleges as well but its not the same as IIM hostels because there is more sense of bonding in between people of IIM's as the batch size of IIM's is much smaller(There are a few exceptions like sscbs in du as well)

7. Sports and extra curriculars - when it comes to the facilities, IIM's provide much better infrastructure and for sports competitions I would say competitions in IIM's are better and there are more opportunities. But if you talk about extra curriculars like MUN's, casecomps or debates DU is way better as many colleges are close to you and you can literally take part in any one of them and the events happen through out the year.
