Introduction
The popularity of the IIM Indore IPM exam is on the rise, and students increasingly are preferring the integrated 5-year program offered by IIM Indore. This program results in a combined MBA degree after 5 years. The degree awarded is the same as the regular MBA or PGDM degree given by IIM Indore, hence it is an advantageous choice for students. One can obtain the same degree without having to write CAT exam.
IIM Indore's IPM is also a popular alternative to CLAT. Students preparing for CLAT are also strongly advised to write this exam, as there is almost no difference in the syllabus or preparation.
Eligibility Criteria
We have summarized the major eligibility criteria for the Five-Year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) of IIM Indore.
Marks in 10th and 12th Class
General category students need to have a minimum of 60% marks in both 10th and 12th class, 55% for SC/ST students.
Students who are currently in 12th class can also apply and would be given admission on a provisional basis.

Student of NC‐OBC, SC, ST and PwD categories need to have a valid certificate(s) in support of their reservation category. No changes can be made after submitting the documents.
Selection Procedure
The candidates are selected on the basis of overall performance in Aptitude Test (AT), Written Ability Test (WAT) & Personal Interview (PI). The selection process is as follows:
Stage 1: Based on the applications received, candidates satisfying minimum eligibility criteria take Aptitude Test (AT) which is usually conducted across major cities in the country. Last year the exam centers were in the following cities: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Dehradun, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Guwahati, Gwalior, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kolkata, Kozhikode, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, New Delhi, Noida, Patna, Pune, Raipur, Ranchi, Thiruvananthapuram, Varanasi and Visakhapatnam. However, IIM Indore can change the cities/ centers.
In this stage, {i.e. shortlisting for Written Ability Test (WAT) & Personal Interview (PI)} is created considering only the candidates having positive raw scores and minimum marks in each of the three sections of Aptitude Test.
