- You will have an on-screen interface for answering questions. Familiarise yourself with navigation, marking for review and the timer.
Time management tips: - Attempt easier sections first to build momentum. - Use the ‘mark for review’ option for doubtful questions; return only if time allows. - Keep rough work confined to the space/sheets provided by the centre; do not write on the computer screen.
Results, Scorecards and Admission Timeline (JIPMAT results 2026)
NTA expects to declare JIPMAT results in July 2026 . Scorecards will be available on the NTA portal.

Keep these points in mind: - Shortlisting and final admission steps are governed by the individual IIMs. - Documents you uploaded during registration may be cross-checked later; ensure they are accurate and legitimate.
