Test Analysis

IPM (IIM Indore)

IIM Indore conducted an entrance exam on May 15,

2014 for admission to the 5 year Integrated

Management Program. The exam was held across

the country at the various designated centers.

It was a 2 hours exam containing 100 questions- out

of which 60 questions were on Quantitative Ability

and rest 40 on Verbal Ability. There were multiple

choices for each question, wherein, each correct

answer gave 4 marks and each wrong answer was

penalized by deducting 1 mark. The students who

gave the exam said that the Quantitative Ability

section was tough whereas Verbal Ability section

was easy, so, they overall rated the level as difficult

for IIM Indore aptitude test 2014.

A breakup of the question paper is given below with

an analysis of each section:

Section Maximum

Marks

Difficulty

level

Quantitative

Ability

240 Difficult

Verbal Ability 160 Easy-Moderate

Total 400 Moderate

Quantitative Ability:

This was the difficult section wherein the number of

question was 60. Unlike last year, this was the

difficult section and most students faced difficulty in

attempting the same. There were questions from

topics like algebra, geometry & mensuration,

logarithms, permutation & combination, set theory,

probability, numbers, profit & loss, ratio &

proportion, time speed & distance, mixtures etc. The

questions on higher mathematics were difficult and

time consuming.

According to the students’ feedback and the level of

difficulty observed, a good score can be 35-38

correct answers.

Verbal Ability:

This was easier of the two sections. There were a

total of 40 questions in this section. This included

questions from reading comprehensions, one on

unmanned underwater naval drones & their uses and

second on development in India and the expansion

of mobile phone technology in the country. Other

topics were para-jumbles, antonyms & synonyms,

word usage questions, sentence corrections, analogy

based questions, fill in the blanks, and para

completion.

Out of all the above topics, questions on analogy

were a little complex. As per the students’ review,

an expected attempt of 35 to 37 questions should be

a fair deal and thus, this section is rated as easy to

moderate.

According to students’ views, we would rate this

entrance exam as a mix of complexity and easiness.

The exam would be a fair deal wherein the students

who have attempted around 195 to 220 questions

should expect to get a call from the university.

For 121 seats, around 1200 candidates can expect to

get a call for the next round of admission. The

admission criteria carry a weightage of 60% for

written exam and 40% for personal interview. The

results are expected to be declared on June 16, 2014

and classes will commence from August 4, 2014.

All the Best to all students for your Results!
