How can I prepare for IIM Indore or IIM Rohtak IPM exams? I am currently in class 11 with commerce stream and ISC board (and not showing off I got 93 avg. in English class 10 ICSE board)?

It is great that you are thinking of pursuing IPM being in class 11. You have enough time. You can think of starting with Pearson’s IPM entrance guide. Figure out if you can solve the questions or not. If required, join online coaching classes like CareerAnna.

• Develop the habit of reading. Start with novels that you might like in your preferred genre and move on to articles from the Indian Express or The Hindu.
• Expand your knowledge and vocabulary.
• Attempt one mock at least per month and one every week after your 12th grade. Analyze your mistakes and work on them.
• Practice writing essays for WAT. You might be asked to write on random topics so ensure that you can write creatively within 20 minutes.
• You can look at the previous topics asked in the examination which might help you.
• In the interview round, prepare for current affairs and things you did in your 12th grade. GK and current affairs are essential for your preparation.
• You can revise your academics, general HR questions and talk about your hobbies a week or two before your interview.
• Ensure that your hobby stands out. Be thorough about it.
• You need to set yourself apart from others for the college to see what is the unique thing that you can bring to the table.

Finally, be consistent in your work and start building your resume right away. Back your hobby with certificates, participate in competitions, and any other significant achievements you may have made along the way. Volunteer at a local NGO since social work is highly appreciated on your CV.
