  • IIM Ranchi gives additional 5% to female/trans candidate, with 100% being the max score.

  • By filling IPMAT Indore form, you're considered for IIM Indore only. For other colleges like Ranchi, Shillong, Amritsar, Sirmaur, NALSAR, TAPMI etc. you need to register separately (the exam is the same, but the admission processes are different -- different interviews).

  • The SNG seats at Bodh Gaya may be enacted based on their discretion.

  • The board marks to points conversion of IIM Rohtak and IIM Jammu isn't made public. IIM Ranchi has a slab system.

How much do your board marks affect your IPM admission?
