WTF are these RCs? The 4th Jan one was goddamn awful and also why is there suddenly an influx of interview-style RCs? They’re barely relevant. We cannot use all the tricks our teachers teach, only the RCs in the sectional actually make sense now, increasing the level
≠
Good RC, they should be relevant to IPMAT, ever seen such hard RCs in PYQs?
This is IPMAT, not JEE. Please look into this.

We have conversation analysis (the interview-styled) every weekend.
Why? Because IPMAT Indore 2025 had the same.
There were 2 traditional RCs, 1 interview transcript (conversation analysis). It's 2:1 ratio. Hence, to keep it simple, 5 weekdays have normal RCs. 2 weekends have CAs.
Each set had 6 questions each.
You can go through all the past RCs and see that the frequency has not been more than this. I understand why one would think that this is irrelevant (it was never tested until 2025), however, it's very similar to the McKinsey/Harry Potter/Muggle conversation analysis that came last year. Have you gone through the same? It could aid in our understanding of the exam.
We've not increased the level per se, we've had RCs with similar average score last year too. It's a mix. You're going to get easy RCs too.

Well , it's like saying a question framer to make less and easy kinda illustration coz just becoz u r finding them hard , bro as an aspirant u should be embracing difficulties and whatever the new ball they introduced u to , u can't tell them to make a tha ppr of ur desires u have no choice but to make urself diverse with the new kind of variables that's what they r doin , if u be able to score good on hard , easy may automatically make u par

At the same time, we do not want to give irrelevant questions obviously. So, the feedback is definitely taken seriously. I'll attempt both the CAs and RCs myself and see. Thank you!

brochacho only JIPMAT is your ultra realistic choice. You will be grilled everywhere else. Try for IIMK perhaps. If you can't answer any acad questions you are doomed, since that's what's asked in the interviews.

Assuming you are general and you have rejected lower grade but NIT one year earlier so you definitely don't wanna settle for colleges with very bad roi which in this case will be iim jammu and bodhgaya now from rest iims (indore ranchi rohtak), they hardly admit double droppers so you will need to perform exceptional in written and interview both and I am sure this is more hanging than ur clat situation, if u tell me more about subjects you have knowledge in I can recommend some other entrance exams

You dropped the wrong subject bro, I think it leaves you with jipmat and some very subject centred courses through cuet but you can give jipmat a shot if u want to(afford), how hard I mean it will be moderate considering the amount of blunders you have already done maths not too hard could easily be covered in 1 month, clat foundation gives you edge in varc and lrdi is doable for all so I guess it's just unpredictability factor attached to it cutoff for general is around 310-320/400 if you mess up you will be screwed and there's no interview so ya thats a relief for you fs

I have a real one , I don’t know whether it would work or not. I come from one of the most insurgent area , so there was no internet access most of the times till class 10, even schools closed for atleast 5 years out of 10. So i just go to know about anything after i shifted to kota so slowly started realising about the options available.

Sorry bhai, I am not particularly aware about that since I was a gen candidate. You might want to ask that in the IPMATard discord server - that's very responsive.

hiii i have a few rookie questions
what were your past acads? stream?
did you have any ecas (i know its not that neccessary but im curious)
does a low board score shoot down my chances? would i get grilled in the interview for it?
when did you start preparing?
how was your interview experience like?
initial scores in mock?
where did you prep qa from?
thanks in adv!!!

Sorry should have included that in the post body, edited in now. We didn't have any concrete streams there - I had Maths, English, Business and Economics (like to call it Commerce - Accounts + Maths).
None. Included SAT and some olympiad stuff just to fill that space, I don't think they even bothered to read that.
Yes that's the first thing they will notice and ask you about (if its bad). If you have a good score, interview may just be about them trying to stress you and test non-academic qualities. If it's like 99% of something, the interview typically lasts for very short duration - they will ask just a couple of advanced questions to ascertain that you are a genuine smart dude rather than rattabaaz. If its a bad score, it may sometimes be a formality, in other times just a second chance to redeem yourself with the cards stacked against you. Needless to say, if you have a good boards score, did not particularly withstand heavy grilling as well as you would like, they would give you benefit of doubt for some wrong answers ('smart kid, we pushed him too far' type stuff).
Started preparing from April 2024, needlessly early I would say since I stopped improving my mock scores after September/October. Basically hit my aukat by then.
https://www.reddit.com/r/IPMATtards/comments/1li8gvn/comment/mzc1udz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Gave my first mock in April 2024, clearly remember that - it was an AceIPM all India open mock (gave it alongside 2024 aspirants). Scored 186 (20-16-150). Had similar distribution for 2 months or so atleast before I locked in to complete 'the syllabus' of quants. Got to know of AfterBoards in May and took all access in June, still used to score 170-190.
Used Takshzilla self paced QA course to cover basic expected portions of 'the syllabus'. That, coupled with AB mocks (one per week) helped me reach 220ish by October. It was just not increasing after that. Bought a ton of mocks after that, IMS SimIPMATs being useful in the last stage of prep after exhausting AB. Did this thing of taking a mock every alternate day after my boards, inspired by a particular 24tard. If I hadn't done that I would have crumbled under the curveballs IPMAT 2025 MCQ section threw at us.

Are there any PwD candidates that you know in your batch? If so please relay their marks and rank. Also It would be really helpful if you could give any advice for preparation.

We don't really ask around marks and ranks here much, except to people who openly announce it (like I'm doing now lmao). But yeah, there are a few PwD candidates here but didn't really discuss scores and ranks with them.
Edit: just remembered some of my batchmates filed an RTI and one info they got was that the lowest score to get in was 99 (most likely PwD). So, probably around 100-150ish.

Gave my first mock in April 2024. Was inconsistent, lacked any knowledge about resources (started off solving revision materials lol). But thankfully didn't get my budget tied up on coachings early enough to regret later on and could spend freely on self-prep resources like AB & Taksh.
Used to study for IPMAT 4-5hrs a day in that takshzilla syllabus covering phase (aug-oct). 30mins a day during boards (10qs a day, just enough to not require a revision after boards so that I can jump straight to mocks). Then 5-7hrs a day, probably peaked 8hrs.
The best thing I had done was to finish boards syllabus by June - just had to skim through the books and give practice papers for the Board exams in Jan-Feb. It helped that my VA was more or less sorted so my only aim was to fix QA.

Hii Shinjan ....
I have some questions and doubt regarding IPMAT in my mind...
I have been preparing for IPMAT for almost 8 months now, still not able to score well in mocks. My scores are really disappointing and they demotivate me many times , So
How can I improve my mocks scores , gave almost 5 Indore mocks and scored below 150 .
I am not good at QA at all, some practice strategy for it . My main goal in QA is to clear the cut offs ...
How can I maximize my score in VARC .
And lastly how should I analyse my mocks and sectionals .
Waiting for your reply
Thank you !!

It's good to have a QA issue than a VA issue at this stage of prep. VA is extremely hard to improve even with 6 months of prep (my net VA improvement after a year of prep was -9). If you are scoring 120-140 you should cram advanced vocab and idioms from ChatGPT, internalize them by making funny sentences or connecting them to interesting memory or concepts. Store them in AfterBoards Flashcards (Word Lists) or any other flashcard provider (AB provides the benefit of automatically generating the definition using LLM when you input a word in the list, not requiring you to search and type it in manually; this marginal boost in the form of removal of logistical obstruction to learning made vocab tracking less of a pain).
QA is relatively easy to increase if you cram questions, analyze solutions. I have shared in this AMA what I had done to break through that 180 barrier: CAT concepts + Mocks. Used Takshzilla + Afterboards namely, could double QA scores in 4months. Taksh had great pedagogy, with Chandra sir teaching in a very conceptual manner and most importantly exploring alternate applications of the same concept by tweaking the question in 10 different ways, followed by giving a conceptual problem set after each lecture. Analysis is also important, each time you encounter an unfamiliar concept, mandatorily spend an hour learning it from scratch including derivation of formuales. Derivations are extremely important since they will tweak something minor in the question and your whole memorized formulae falls apart, you will have to create a custom formulae of your own based on the tweaks.
I hope I have covered all of your queries, though I forgot to clearly segment it lol. All the very best!

Scoured the whole internet and couldn't find a single source of IPMAT Level DILR materials. My main prep for DILR became how to identify what to skip - it was the most important decision in the most dangerous section of the exam: whether to risk skipping a DILR what ends up being easy under the surface and watch the cutoffs soar by 10-20 points, or to risk wasting 10mins on it in vain and not being able to attempt easy MCQs due to that time wastage. Am immensely lucky I could identify that the 2025 DILR could be solved just by banging on the calculator, and didn't skip it or else I would be cooked.
You guys are immensely lucky to have atleast one source of IPMAT DILRS: AB Weekly DILR sets, use that to the fullest, I am sure AB will increase quantity of LR materials in future - its a very potent USP, from an aspirant's perspective too.

Prepare a good answer to 'why so low in boards?'. That may be your de facto intro, unfortunately. If you had any preoccupations, internships or anything else that might justify it, just humbly mention that.
'I learnt more from by business than in school' -> Instant door
'I actually became really preoccupied with blah blah, and inspite of trying hard couldn't balance it well with my academics, I know how rigorous IIMI is about acads and won't compromise it in my future (add some example that shows your implementation of this resolve maybe)' -> they give you a second chance but will test you on acads, so you have to know your stuff even if u didnt while giving boards
From my experience, professors are very tolerant and understanding towards non-math kids - even here profs try their best to not go overboard when teaching Calculus and stopping too eager JEE fellows from scaring the non-math ones with unneccessarily advanced inputs. But they will require you to be mentally acute - probably ask you combinatorics or other applied maths concepts that you are expected to have covered in IPMAT. So prep for those well. All the best!

Hi shinjan bhaiya. Congrats on the rank firstly!!
So basically my situation is pretty messed up and hard to understand but I am a dropper and I'll be giving ipmat for the first time in '26 and i started preparing pretty late for ipmat i was figuring out the syllabus and good sources not my 60% of the syllabus is completed and I've only given 3-4 mocks my scores are very low plus I was a non math now that only 3.5-4 months are left I've started pushing myself because ipmat indore/rohtak and jipmat are the only exams I'll be giving and yes so would you suggest any backup plan and like i don't really wanna go to du so I mean I'd rather take IIMJ than du so like my main concern is ipmat only would you please guide me through and tell me how can I efficiently study and maximize my scores in both qa and va also could you suggest any good sources for lr?
My 10th % was 90
And 12th was 91.6% (comm non math)
Also is cracking ipmat indore possible given my situation and time remaining

If you are looking for good backups - IIM Shillong, IIM Ranchi, IIM Bodh Gaya, IIFT, and the ultimate safety net IIM Amritsar (they had accepted every person I had known in this sphere, ofc those guys may not have accepted them lol). I feel its an underrated course since the courseware seems great actually, just a bit brand value would have helped it greatly, which it will gain in the subsequent years.
I have mentioned my own experience in the above answers, particularly how to tackled deadends to progress and some good resources. You might want to try some of that. All the best!

I am scoring about 120 in VA . I want it near 140. What can I do now? Will reading + sectionals be the only and the best bet? I have given up on parajumbles
I need a revision strategy for Quants. Every month I have to keep revising the same syllabus again and again. Since I am preparing for CUET Math as well , it has become like JEE 😭Is there any way round it or i will have do it for 4 months now? ( Syllabus is humongous honestly CAT + 12th ) Inspired by your posts from last year, I am using Takshzila + Afterboards itself. Scoring roughly 80 total in both sections atleast. Following select + attempt strategy , all attempt strategy , do as you see strategy. Which did you use? I hope Takshzila will be enough ( Exercises + Unit Tests ) Should I try to follow its Accelerate Batch as well ? LR is random ?
I am sorry for so many questions. I will try my best to your worthy potential junior if you could help me out. I am already a dropper.

Depends. Although I had decent colleges at hand (via CUET), I knew I might not be able to maintain a good CGPA if my sem exams ever clashed with IPMAT, and just in general, figured I would be doing much better if I took a drop but made sure I was doing something worthwhile along with exam prep. But that's me. If you think you could manage prep along with college, that's a much safer option and do give CUET or other relevant exams if you're interested.
