Step-by-step checks before you leave for the exam centre

• Carry at least two printed copies of your IPMAT admit card.
• Pack one valid original photo ID (Aadhaar card, passport, driving licence, or school/college ID).
• Keep one photocopy of the photo ID in your kit as a backup.
• Carry a recent passport-size photograph (same as the one uploaded), in case the centre requests it.
• Bring only allowed stationery — read the admit card instructions for permitted items.

If you forget your ID: the centre may not allow you inside. Contact helpdesk immediately; if they permit, be ready to show alternate valid ID and written proof.

Essential documents and ID proof to carry on exam day (what’s commonly required)

• Printed IPMAT admit card (two copies).
• One original government photo ID: Aadhaar / Passport / Driving Licence / Voter ID.
• One passport-size photograph as backup.
• If you used a school ID during registration, carry the original school/college ID too.

Do not carry: study material, calculators (unless allowed on admit card), mobile phones, smartwatches, electronic devices, or bags if the centre restricts them.

Exam day logistics: reporting time, centre rules and item checklist

• Arrive early — plan to reach the centre 60–90 minutes before the reporting time printed on your admit card.
• Gate closure policy: IIM Indore’s admit card usually lists reporting/entry times. If not specified, assume strict punctuality; late entries may not be allowed.
• Dress comfortably and avoid heavy jewellery or accessories that slow security checks.

Item checklist to pack: printed admit card copies, original photo ID, spare photograph, transparent water bottle (if allowed), and permitted stationery. Leave valuables and electronic devices at home or with a trusted person; most centres do not allow them inside.

Quick travel tips: book travel a day before if your centre is far. Check centre city codes and addresses on the admit card and plan the shortest route. For overnight stays, pick a hotel near the test centre and confirm travel time to the venue.

Accessibility, special assistance & discrepancies: ask in advance

The admit card release did not include detailed official accessibility provisions. If you need a scribe, extra time or other special arrangements, contact the helpdesk straight away with documented proof (medical certificate or supporting documents).

How to request assistance: email ipmadmissions@iimidr.ac.in with your registration number and supporting documents. Ask early — special arrangements usually need approval and allocation at the centre level.

If centre details or timings change after admit card release, IIM Indore will issue an official notice on iimidr.ac.in. Monitor the official website and your registered email for updates.

IPMAT scores: what counts as good and excellent in 2026

• A score above 230 is considered a good score for IPM admission shortlisting.
• A score above 300 is considered excellent and competitive for final selection.

These thresholds help you set realistic targets. Use remaining days to prioritise high-weight QA and logical reasoning topics if you aim for 230+, and strengthen speed and accuracy if targeting 300+.
