Are coaching classes very necessary to get into ipm course at iim indore or is self-study the best option?
The majority of coaching classes often confuse the real purpose and meaning set behind an IPM programme. Surprisingly enough, they mostly treat it as they do to a regular BBA+MBA programme, without actually recognising the difficulty level essentially associated with it.
- The difficulty level of IPMAT is several steps ahead of a general BBA examination.
- Coaching centres function by preparing aspirants for the upcoming CAT exam or a general management entrance coaching.
- Rather than seeking advice from coaching centres, you can avail a specialized mentorship. Either from the students of the respective institute who have recently cleared the IPMAT exam, or choose visiting professors from the admission committee.
- If you think it is not possible, then seek guidance from the alumni network or the current students.
- Follow the previous year’s papers and understand the pattern of the questions. You can also seek help from the internet.
Paying a bulky fee to coaching centers can oftentimes prove to be unnecessary. Your self-study, mostly combined with a vivid general knowledge, can suffice the needs of the exam.
