Factors Influencing IPMAT Cutoffs
The factors listed below will influence cutoffs for IPM in IIMs:
- Total Number of students who appeared
- Difficulty level of the exam in that year
- Marking scheme
- Number of seats available
- Reservation of seats
- Previous year cut-off
- Performance of the candidates
- Lowest and average marks scored by candidates in IPMAT
Key structural rules for cutoffs:
- Only candidates who clear the minimum marks in each section are considered for the merit list
- The admission committee sets the minimum marks per section independently for each category
- IIM Indore uses sectional cutoffs; IIM Rohtak uses overall cutoffs only
IPMAT Indore Sectional Cutoff 2025
The following sectional cutoffs are officially confirmed via IIM Indore's RTI response for the IPM 2025–30 batch. All three sectional cutoffs are mandatory — a candidate failing in even one section is not shortlisted for PI, regardless of total score.

Of approximately 16,357 candidates who scored a positive raw score (≥1) in all three sections in 2025, only 818 cleared all sectional thresholds and were shortlisted for the PI round. From these 818, IIM Indore selects its final batch of 150 students.
IPMAT Indore ATS Score Range 2025
The Aptitude Test Score (ATS) is a composite score calculated only for candidates who clear all three sectional cutoffs. It determines the PI shortlist merit order within each category. ATS is a weighted composite — it is not the same as the raw total score.

The minimum ATS for General category (41.55) sets the floor for getting a PI call. Aiming for an ATS well above this minimum is essential to be competitive — many candidates at the floor do not receive a final offer.

What Is a Good Score in IPMAT 2025?
Clearing the sectional cutoff only gets you into the PI shortlist — it does not guarantee admission. Here are safe target scores based on 2025 actuals:
IPMAT Indore — General Category Safe Targets: QA SA: 36+ (out of 60) | QA MCQ: 60+ (out of 120) | VA: 140+ (out of 180) Safe total: 240–260 out of 360
IPMAT Rohtak — General Category Safe Target: 380+ out of 480 (2025 cutoff was 381; aim above the threshold)
JIPMAT — General Category Safe Targets: IIM Bodh Gaya: 333+ for a final offer | IIM Jammu: 70th+ percentile in each section
For IPMAT Indore, the final 150 seats consider the full composite score including the PI (35% weightage). Clearing the cutoff is the first gate — it is not sufficient on its own.
