Yes, commerce without Math students can take the IPM entrance exam. The eligibility criteria for the IPM program at IIMs require the candidate to have completed their 10+2 education or equivalent in any stream, i.e., arts, commerce, or science. 

Therefore, a student from a commerce background is eligible to apply for the IPMAT provided they fulfil all the other eligibility criteria, such as age limit, minimum academic requirements, and other specified criteria, as mentioned in the official notification. However, it is important to note that the IPM entrance exam is highly competitive where the level of Math is also high which requires any student to do thorough practice.
