IIM Shillong IPM Program 2025

IIM Shillong IPM Eligibility Criteria

Since IIM Shillong is going to accept the IPMAT-Indore scores, the general perception will be that it will have the same IPMAT-Indore eligibility criteria. 

However, there are additional criteria to be met by students who are eyeing the IPM program at IIM Shillong.

• Age

Candidates should have been born on or after July 01, 2005 (5 years of relaxation to the candidates from SC/ST/DA category will be given, i.e., born on or after July 01, 2000).

• Minimum Qualifying Marks

• Candidates must have a minimum of 60% in their 10th grade/SSC examinations and 12th grade/HSC or equivalent examinations (55% for candidates from SC/ST/DA categories).
• Candidates must have studied mathematics or applied mathematics as a subject in Standard XI and XII.

• Entrance Test 

Candidates must have appeared for the IPMAT (Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test) conducted by IIM Indore. IIM Shillong will consider the IPMAT scores for shortlisting candidates for the Personal Interview (PI) process.

What does this mean?

Note: 

1. Candidates expected to complete standard XII/ HSC or equivalent by end of July 31, can apply. If selected, their admission will be provisional. At the time of program registration, they must submit standard X/ SSC and standard XII/ HSC or equivalent exam mark sheets, along with a school-leaving certificate or migration certificate.
2. When determining the candidate's marks in X and XII Standards, IIM Shillong will consider the total aggregate marks from all subjects on the mark sheet or grade sheet, regardless of the Board's rules. If the candidate receives letter grades or grade points, it is converted to a percentage based on a certified method provided by the Board or Competent Authority. This conversion process is detailed in the certification document from the Board.
3. IIM Shillong reserves the right to determine eligibility criteria, including equivalency, percentage of marks, and recognition of the qualifying examination and intake.
