Refer to the table below to know the category-wise IPMAT 2026 expected cutoff:

• Number of students
• Number of seats
• Reservation criteria
• Marking scheme
• Difficulty level 
• Previous year cutoff marks
• Average and lowest marks obtained by students

No the IPMAT cutoff for IIM INdore and IIM Rohtak are not the same. Both the IIMs conduct different IPMAT exams. IIM Indore conducts IPMAT Indore and the exam conducted by IIM Rohtak is called the IPMAT Rohtak exam. Thus, both the institues have different cutoff and selection processes. Various factors such as number of applicants, difficulty level, number of seats available for the programme and overall performance of the candidates affect different cutoffs. 

No, meeting the IPMAT cutoff alone does not guarantee the admission to the IPM programme. Students can qualify for the next stage of the selection process if they match the cutoff and then perform well in Personal Interview and academic performance. Candidates who do well in the personal interview as well as the IPMAT exam may have their name in the merit list released by IIM Indore.

The IPMAT counselling process begins after the IPMAT provisional short list is released. Candidates who qualified for the IPMAT counselling must follow the steps below to complete the counselling registration:

1. Visit the official website of IIM Indore
2. Click on the button reading 'New Registration'
3. Fill in the IPMAT application number and date of birth
4. Several details are prefilled from the IPMAT application form, including personal and academic details in the registration form.
5. Upload photograph and signature in the specified format and size.
6. Pay the counselling fee via the available payment modes. After successful payment, you will receive a payment confirmation message on your registered mobile number and email ID. Candidates then need to appear for the further selection procedure which is Personal Interview.

Even if the candidate clears the sectional and overall cutoff in IPMAT exam but does not get shortlisted for the PI round, it means that the candidate is eligible but not among the top-ranked candidates based on the composite score. Such a candidate will not be considered for admission to the IPM programme.

Such candidates can opt for reappearing for the exam next year, as there is no provision of re-evaluation. Candidates can also consider applying to other institutes which accept IPMAT Indore scores, such as NIRMA University, TAPMI, etc. 

Every student who clears the IPMAT cutoff will get a call from the participating institutions, but will not be guaranteed admission. If they do not match the academic eligibility or IPMAT score they will not be given admission to the IPM programme. IIM Indore checks factors such as IPMAT score, number of seats, academic performance, GD/PI performance for admissions to IPM programme. Candidates with a good composite score stand a chance to get shortlisted for the PI round.
