IPMAT Rohtak: The IIM route where your board marks count
Everything about IIM Rohtak's 5-year Integrated Programme in Management — pattern, eligibility, selection weights, timeline.
What is IPMAT Rohtak?
IIM Rohtak conducts its own IPM Aptitude Test (separate from IIM Indore's) for its 5-year IPM — a BBA + MBA dual-degree path straight after Class 12.
It offers 198 seats through a computer-based test. The same test also has an optional Legal Reasoning section for IIM Rohtak's Integrated Programme in Law.
Exam Pattern
| Section | No. of Questions |
|---|---|
| Quantitative Ability | 40 questions |
| Logical Reasoning | 40 questions |
| Verbal Ability | 40 questions |
120 MCQs in 120 minutes total — no sectional time limits, so you decide how to split your time. Every question carries +4 for correct, −1 for wrong. Unlike IPMAT Indore, there is no section without negative marking here.
The part most students discover too late
