IPMAT Syllabus 2027: Section-Wise Topics for IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak
IPMAT 2027 will test you on Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability, and (for IIM Rohtak) Logical Reasoning. IIM Indore's exam has only two sections — Quant and Verbal — while IIM Rohtak adds Logical Reasoning as a third. Most of the syllabus comes from Class 10-12 Maths and English, so you don't need to be from a Science or Commerce background to appear for it. Below, you'll find the section-wise syllabus for both exams, the exam pattern, marking scheme, and answers to common syllabus questions.

IPMAT 2027 exam (Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test) is the entrance exam for the 5-year integrated MBA programme offered by IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak, and a few other IIMs under JIPMAT. If you're wondering what subjects to prepare, here's the short answer: there's no fixed "subject list" like a school syllabus. Instead, the exam tests your aptitude across three broad areas — Math (Quantitative Ability), English (Verbal Ability), and for some IIMs, Logical Reasoning.
The good news: you don't need PCM, PCB, or Commerce specifically. Students from any stream — Science, Commerce, or Humanities — can appear, as long as they meet the basic eligibility criteria (typically 60% and above in Class 10 and 12). The syllabus itself is built on Class 10-12 level Maths and everyday English, so anyone with a decent grip on these can prepare for it.
IPMAT Syllabus 2027: Overview
| Exam | Sections | Total Questions | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| IIM Indore | Quantitative Ability (MCQ + Short Answer), Verbal Ability (MCQ) | 90 | 120 minutes |
| IIM Rohtak | Quantitative Ability (MCQ), Logical Reasoning (MCQ), Verbal Ability (MCQ) | 120 | 120 minutes |
The biggest difference to remember: IIM Indore does not test Logical Reasoning, while IIM Rohtak does. If you're preparing for both exams, you'll need to cover LR as an extra section only for Rohtak.
(These numbers are based on the previous exam cycle. We'll update this page as soon as the official 2027 notification is released by IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak.)
