IPMAT/JIPMAT cutoffs indicate whether the candidate is eligible for the next stage of the selection process, which will differ in the seven IIMs offering IPM. The second stage could either be the PI process or direct admission into the program. However, in either case, the cutoffs are a gateway for the students to get to their desired college.
IPM cutoffs differ for different vertical and horizontal categories, which will be discussed in detail on this page. The cut-offs are released after the IPMAT/JIPMAT tests are over.
Find below the most recent cut-off lists (for the academic year 2024) as released by IIM Indore, Rohtak, Ranchi, Bodh Gaya, Jammu, Amritsar, & Shillong.
The factors listed below will influence cutoffs for IPM in IIMs:
Cutoffs may vary and students can expect multiple merit lists to get selected in IIMs offering IPM. The cutoffs differ for every section and every reservation category. While some IIMs use sectional cutoffs to shortlist candidates for the next step, some IIMs use reservation-wise overall cutoffs to do so. This section mentions cutoffs for all IIMs offering IPM.
