Preparation Plan for IPMAT After Board Exams

CBSE has released the exam dates for board exams 2025. One must remember that only 1 or 1.5 months are there between board and IPM exams.

Balancing revision, practice, and mock tests within this short span can be challenging, especially for those who might need to strengthen their basics.

Or wherever you are in your IPM preparation journey, this is the time to start taking things seriously. You can simply follow the checklist.

Below is a Phase-Wise Structure for your preparation. 

Phase 1: IPM Conceptual Clarity 

While the time is less for IPMAT 2025; nothing can beat the power of well-learned, tested concepts. One can build upon these concepts and work on speed and accuracy to maximize the score later.

But if you have the arsenal ready, you can tackle everything. And this arsenal takes time to build. Better start now!

Phase 2: Knowing the IPM Paper Format

You should know what you are getting into. Acquaint yourself with the IPM exam pattern, and question types, especially short-answer and multiple-choice formats.

Practice under timed conditions, and use IPMAT & JIPMAT previous papers and sectional practice tests to understand typical question patterns.

Phase 3: Analyzing IPM Mock Tests

For any competitive exam, mock tests play an important role in preparing for the exam. They help test, revise, and provide invaluable insights about the preparation.

For example: With IPMAT mock test analysis, you can easily identify which topics gained you marks accompanied with accuracy and speed.

Pro Tip:

If you have only started the preparation 2–3 months before the exam, do not try to cover the entire IPMAT syllabus. Look out for topics that have higher weightage in these entrance examinations and focus on them.

And Take IPMAT Mocks, even then!

Transitioning from boards to IPMAT prep can be mentally exhausting, so incorporate short breaks and rest days to prevent burnout.

With consistent effort and a well-structured plan, the challenges of starting late can be managed, but keeping these challenges in mind can help in creating a realistic preparation strategy.

Good Luck!
