IPMAT Preparation

If possible, you should begin your IPMAT preparation six months to a year before the test date. Many of you choose to study for the IPMAT in addition to the board exam. You would need an efficient study plan and approach for this. You must receive at least 60% of the possible points in your XII, HSC, or comparable exams if you fall into the general group in order to be qualified for IPMAT. This suggests that you cannot skimp on your preparation for the board exam. You can also enroll in IPMAT preparation courses, where you can learn the material rapidly and do well on tests. In order to strike a balance between these two crucial tests, we have put together a study schedule and preparatory materials.

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Indore is the organiser of the IPMAT 2024, which is the Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test. This exam is for a five-year integrated programme that combines an MBA with a BBA (or B.A.). Reviewing material and taking practice exams should be the focus of the final week of IPMAT preparation. In order to be admitted to IIM Indore's five-year integrated curriculum, applicants must pass the IPMAT entrance exam for business administration. The final week of preparation should be used by students to complete practice exams and edit their work. During the final week of preparation, they should not begin any new topics and instead make the most of this opportunity to perform at their best.

Preparing for the Verbal section of IPMAT requires a systematic approach and regular practice. To begin your preparations for the Verbal section, start with understanding the syllabus. This section focuses on the student's hold on the language. It includes topics such as Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning. Students should practice reading articles, essays, and passages from various topics to improve your comprehension skills. Focus on understanding the main ideas, supporting details, and the author's tone and purpose.

Focus on building your vocabulary by learning new words regularly. Use flashcards, vocabulary apps, or word lists to expand your word bank. Understanding the meanings and context of words will help you tackle synonym-antonym questions and sentence completion questions.  Along with this, brush up on your grammar skills by studying essential grammar rules such as tenses, subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, etc. Identify common grammatical errors and learn how to correct them.

Cultivate a habit of reading newspapers, magazines, and quality articles. This will not only improve your reading speed but also keep you updated with current affairs, which can be beneficial for the General Awareness section.

Consistent practice and dedication are essential for excelling in the Verbal section of IPMAT. Keep practicing regularly, analyze your progress, and work on your weak areas. 

Some of the best books that you can read for the Verbal Ability section include Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis, High School English Grammar and Composition by Wren and Martin, Pearson Guide to IIM Indore-IPM Entrance Examination from Pearson Publications, Objective General English by SP Bakshi, etc.
