IIM IPMAT 2025 registration expected in February for Class 12 admissions
In short
- IIMs offer a 5-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) for Class 12 graduates, awarding both a Bachelor's and an MBA degree.
- Admission to IPM programs primarily requires clearing entrance exams such as IPMAT (IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak) or JIPMAT (IIM Jammu, IIM Bodh Gaya).
- IIM Indore's IPMAT 2025 exam is scheduled for May 12, 2025, with registrations anticipated to open in February 2025.
- Eligibility typically includes a minimum of 60% aggregate marks in Class 10 and 12, though IIM Indore has removed the Class 12 minimum marks requirement for IPMAT 2025.
- The selection process generally involves an entrance exam score, academic records, and a Personal Interview (PI), with some IIMs like Jammu and Bodh Gaya not including a PI.
Students aiming to pursue management education immediately after completing Class 12 can seek admission to the Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) and other undergraduate management programs offered by various Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). The admission cycle for 2025 and 2026 is underway, with key entrance examinations and application periods approaching.
These programs, such as the five-year IPM, allow students to secure both their undergraduate and advanced management degrees without the traditional requirement of taking the CAT examination after graduation. This structure is designed to provide a career advantage by combining BBA and MBA degrees, with specific IIMs offering different degree combinations and exit options.
Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) Admissions and Eligibility
Several IIMs offer the 5-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) for students who have completed Class 12. These include IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak, IIM Ranchi, IIM Jammu, and IIM Bodh Gaya. The minimum eligibility criteria for IPM typically requires 60% aggregate marks in Class 10 and Class 12, with a relaxation to 55% for SC/ST/PwD candidates. However, IIM Indore has removed the previous requirement of minimum marks in Class 12 for IPMAT 2025, while maintaining the Class 10 requirement.
Age limits also apply, with IIM Indore requiring candidates to be born on or after August 1, 2005 (August 1, 2000 for SC/ST/PwD). IIM Rohtak sets a maximum age of 20 years as of June 30, with a relaxation to 25 years for SC/ST candidates. Specific subject requirements exist for some programs; for instance, IIM Shillong mandates Mathematics in Class 11 and 12 for its IPM, and IIM Amritsar requires Mathematics or Applied Mathematics in Class 12.
Key Entrance Examinations and Dates
Admission to IPM programs is primarily through dedicated entrance examinations. IIM Indore conducts IPMAT Indore, which is also accepted by IIM Ranchi, IIM Amritsar, IIM Shillong, IIM Sirmaur, and IIM Sambalpur. IIM Rohtak conducts its own IPMAT Rohtak exam. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts JIPMAT for admission to IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya.
For the upcoming cycle, IIM Indore’s IPMAT 2025 exam date is May 12, 2025, with registration expected to commence in February 2025. Other IIMs also have specific tests for their undergraduate offerings, such as IIM Kozhikode’s Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) program through the IIMK BMS Aptitude Test, and IIM Bangalore’s programs through UGAT or other tests.

Selection Process and Program Structures
The selection process for many IIMs typically includes an entrance exam score, academic records, and a Personal Interview (PI). However, some IIMs, such as IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya, do not include a Personal Interview in their final evaluation, relying instead on JIPMAT scores and academic profiles. IIM Bangalore’s BBA program offers a direct qualifying offer based on a test threshold, without a PI.
The IPM program typically awards a Bachelor’s and an MBA degree upon completion. For example, IIM Indore’s IPM awards a Bachelor of Arts (Foundations of Management) + Master of Business Administration (MBA), while IIM Rohtak’s IPM awards a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) + Master of Business Administration (MBA). IIM Ranchi’s IPM program awards only an MBA upon full program completion, with an exit option for a BBA after three years.
