3 Common Mistakes to Avoid in IPMAT Preparation

If you are planning to appear for the IPMAT exam, then you must know that it is one of the most competitive entrance exams for management courses in India. The Integrated Program in Management Aptitude Test (IPMAT) is conducted by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) for admission into its five-year integrated management program. With the increasing popularity of this exam, the competition has also intensified, making it crucial for students to prepare strategically and avoid common mistakes. As someone who has gone through the IPMAT coaching in Bhopal, I have observed some common mistakes that students tend to make while preparing for this exam. In this blog post, I will be discussing the top three mistakes that you must avoid in IPMAT preparation.


1) Neglecting the Quantitative Ability Section:


The IPMAT exam consists of three sections - Quantitative Ability (QA), Verbal Ability (VA), and Logical Reasoning (LR). While all three sections are equally important, students often tend to neglect the QA section. This is because they assume that since they have studied mathematics in school, they will be able to ace this section easily. However, the reality is quite different. The QA section in IPMAT is designed to test your analytical and logical reasoning skills rather than just your mathematical knowledge. Hence, it is crucial to practice and familiarize yourself with the different types of questions that can be asked in this section. Neglecting the QA section can significantly impact your overall score and chances of getting into a top IIM.

2) Not Practicing Time Management:


Time management is a crucial aspect of any competitive exam, and IPMAT is no exception. With only two hours to attempt 100 questions, time management becomes even more critical. Many students tend to spend too much time on a single question, leaving them with less time for the remaining questions. As a result, they end up either missing out on some questions or making silly mistakes due to the time pressure. To avoid this, it is essential to practice time management while solving practice papers and mock tests. This will help you get a good idea of how much time you should spend on each question and improve your speed and accuracy.

3) Not Referring to Previous Year Question Papers:


One of the biggest mistakes that students make while preparing for IPMAT is not referring to previous year question papers. Previous year question papers not only give you an idea of the exam pattern and difficulty level but also help you identify the important topics and types of questions being asked in the exam.
