How was your first day at IIM Indore IPM?
Here is the experience of one of the IPM students of IIM Indore.
She completed some paperwork and a brief registration process as soon as she arrived at the campus and Hostel Reception Center, after which she was given her temporary identity card, room key, etc. She also completed the course registration and other paperwork later that day.
The following two days of Induction were when the real action began.
On the second day, she and her friends hurried to the auditorium after hearing an introduction to the faculty, information about IGNOU, and the format of the IPM course. The remaining three days of the induction passed slowly. Despite the fact that students were involved and there were actual activities.
You are prepared for life at IIM, which is tedious and enjoyable but irregularly busy, during the 7-hour continuous induction.
What has more value, an IPM from IIM Indore or a BBA from some reputed college and then an MBA from some top IIM?
First, keep in mind that you're looking for a program that will help you develop your entire personality while also giving you access to cutting-edge amenities and facilities and an assured MBA from one of the best B schools in the nation. The IPM course offered by IIM Indore is ideal for you if this is what you're looking for.
If, however, you are solely interested in a BBA program and are confident that you can enter IIM ABC after BBA despite the competition from roughly 2 lakh engineers, then go for it.
However, if you choose to do so, you also have the choice to leave the IPM after receiving your undergraduate degree and enroll in a better business school to complete your MBA. Therefore, if you must choose between the two, it is advised that you go with the first because it will give you better exposure, a more competitive environment, better amenities, and a rare opportunity to graduate from an IIM that is among the top 5 in the nation.
I got 1090 in my SAT attempt. Will my marks be eligible for the IIM Ranchi IPM program?
I am willing to give you my honest opinion in this regard. Your score is good but not at par with the competition posed during IPM admissions. I have seen scores higher than this while attempting to get admission to the IPM program.
But don’t let this discourage you as Indore also conducts an aptitude test IPMAT and admission is based on that too. You can work on this exam and compensate for your past low scores.
Another option to compensate for your low marks is to upgrade your extracurricular background. IIM Indore actively considered extracurricular activities during admissions. But in the end I will still ask you to depend on IPMAT mostly for your admission
I'm in the ST category. I got 930 in my SAT. Is it good enough to get into IPM IIM Ranchi?
IIM Ranchi offers an IPM Program based on SAT / IPMAT Scores. The Expected Cutoff for IPM via SAT is 930.
Apart from this, we don’t have many criteria to base this admission on. So the benefit of the doubt goes to applicants having SAT scores soaring at about 1100–1600. The admission criteria for other programs are more flexible as it is based on parameters such as 10,12, UG scorecards. So it’s highly unlikely that even high marks will get you into IIM Ranchi.
Is IIM Ranchi's IPM program worth it?
Yes, the IPM program of IIM Rohtak is actually worth it because it’s an IIM after all. Both Rohtak and Indore excel at their IPM programs. If you are not willing to sit for the CAT again and are not confident that you will get in despite trying this is the best option for you. But if you want to explore more opportunities and are confident of getting a better CAT percentile next year this program may not be for you.

- Shortlisted Candidates are called for Personal Interviews for Final Selection.
- IIM Ranchi Finalize Candidates based on their Overall Performance in Personal Interviews & their Overall Academic Scores
Overall I personally feel that the IPM program at IIM Rohtak is worth trying.
How tough is it to get into IPM IIM Indore?
If you have a strong foundation in Mathematics, Logical Aptitude, and English, IPM AT should be a breeze. The questions asked in the Mathematics section range from moderate to difficult on the difficulty scale whereas the ones asked in English were all more or less moderate or easy.
The IPM interviews, however, are never predictable; both the interviews and the results. You cannot refer to google for "interview questions" and walk in for the interview with the hope of converting the call. You can be grilled on topics like details of your father's occupation and your knowledge about the same as well as on topics like the proof of e lying between 2 and 3. While you might feel that your interview went pathetic and you have no chance of making it through, you can probably be the one who has scored decent enough to get into the course and make it big.
How is the IIM Ranchi IPM interview?
My brother had his interview at IIM Ranchi last year for IPM. His 10th marks were 95% and 12th (PCB) marks stood at 78.4%. His interview was scheduled for the afternoon. He was welcomed by 2 male panelists who seemed quite comfortable and asked him if he had had lunch before appearing for the interview. Then they asked him the following questions
- 10/12th marks
- Favorite subject (PS: I said biology.)
- Why did you choose IPM after having biology? How would these subjects complement you?
- What is the difference between gray and white matter? (Brain)
- What is the function of the vitreous humor, and where is it located?
- What are the different enzymes secreted by the pancreas?
- Name the smallest and largest bone in the human body. (Location as well)
- State the “Second law of thermodynamics.”
- Define E=mc^2
- CM of your state. Any current official statement made by him.
- What is your hobby?
From the above list of questions, we can boldly say that the majority of the questions are aimed at testing your general knowledge. If you have a confident aura, you will easily win their favor.
Pro tip: You can direct the interview to a favorable topic by elaborating on any specific answer.
Which one should I choose between Thapar COE and IIM Rohtak IPM?
One of my friends was selected for the 2018–22 batch of Mechanical engineering. However, she was not very inclined towards joining it. Mainly because she was not very passionate about Engineering.
I will suggest you join TIET only if you are an avid fan of Engineering and are considering it seriously as a career option. But I personally feel that IIM is a better option if you aren’t sure about Engineering. The IIM tag offers enough credibility to make it a worthwhile course.
My friend's marks were not very good so she could not understand how she had made it into TIET. This altered her decision to pursue engineering. She further told me that the curriculum and campus life at IIM Rohtak were not as substandard as it is rumored to be. So it’s high time you conduct thorough research because this decision is the turning point of your life.
What should I choose, IIM Rohtak IPM or IIT?
Firstly both the institutes IIM Rohtak and IIT offer 2 courses in 2 different fields namely Management and Engineering. So the first thing you need to do is find your interest and then choose the college. In case you are interested in both, I will suggest you go for IIT because
- The first and foremost reason for joining IIT is that you can still pursue MBA after engineering but not the other way around.
- The program is relatively new and lacks credibility.
- The fees is extremely high
- The recent controversies at IIM Rohtak regarding IPMAT have ruined its reputation as an IIM.
- There are many B Schools both IIM and Non-IIM that are better than Rohtak. So I will suggest you go for them.
- It’s the PGP course of IIM that enjoys the most credibility owing to its strong alumni base. The IPM program lacks in this aspect a lot.
IIM Rohtak has very few graduates in the market because of its new establishment. Because of this, it lacks in many aspects so I won’t suggest you risk your career by choosing it.
How do I afford IPM IIM Rohtak fees?
Every IIM is considered an Institute of National Importance and its students are therefore offered excellent educational loans without any collateral and very low-interest rates.
Moreover, a scheme in SBI - SBI Scholar Loan, offers a collateral-free loan of about 2,000,000 Rupees. Apart from this many banks readily offer loans as soon as you enter the PGP program at an IIM. This is because they are sure of the credibility of these institutes and have no doubts regarding their students. They know they are investing in people who will be paying them back tenfold. You can easily avail this benefit of being a part of a reputed institute and IIMs brand value.
