The Nagpur Parents' Complete Guide to IPMAT — Everything You Need to Know Before the Demo Class
This article is not for the student. It's for you — the parent who's been hearing about IPMAT and IIM after Class 12 and hasn't had time to properly research what it means, what it costs, and whether it's the right call for your child.
By the end of this, you'll have everything you need to make an informed decision — without being sold to.
What Is IPMAT and Why Does It Matter?
IPMAT is the entrance exam for a 5-year BBA + MBA dual degree at IIM Indore — one of India's original six IIMs. Your child can get an IIM degree at age 22, without engineering, without a 3-year graduation, and without CAT.
Is My Child a Realistic Candidate?
This is the question no coaching institute wants to answer honestly, because they'd rather enroll everyone.
Here's the truthful version:
Strong IPMAT Candidate — Your Child Has These:
65%+ in Maths and English in Class 10 (not disqualifying if lower, but harder)
Willing to study 3-4 hours daily for 10-14 months
Genuine interest in business/management — not just IIM for prestige
In Class 11 or early Class 12 (Class 11 = ideal; Class 12 = possible but tight)
Does not have strong PCM inclination and JEE as primary goal
