IPMAT previous year papers: what exists, and free practice

Are there official IPMAT previous year papers?

Honest answer: not that we could find. IIM Indore's admissions page lists procedures, certificate formats and similar documents, but no sample or past paper. IIM Rohtak's admission page also has no sample paper link. For JIPMAT, the NTA bulletin asks candidates to practise on a "Mock Test" for the computer-based format, but the NTA portal page did not show a link to one when we checked. See the JIPMAT page and check exams.nta.nic.in/jipmat yourself.

For JIPMAT 2026, the NTA portal lists the answer keys and the question papers with recorded responses that were shown to candidates during the answer-key challenge.

So what are the "previous year papers" online?

The papers you find on coaching websites are mostly recreations. Students come out of the exam, write down the questions they remember, and the site compiles them. These are useful for practice, but they are not official, they may have missing or changed options, and some answers on those pages are wrong. Be careful with any page that calls them "official previous year papers". They are not.

What IPMATway has

We collected real past-year questions from public recreations and recomputed every quant answer ourselves. Each is labelled "actual PYQ" with its year.

• IPMAT Indore 2019 to 2025: about 50 to 100 questions per year. For 2026 we have only a few, because it survives only as memory-based lists.
• IPMAT Rohtak: 2019 and 2020.
• JIPMAT: 2021 to 2026.

You can practise them in these ways:

• Year-wise Short Answer tests for Indore, 2019 to 2026, so you can practise the no-options section the way it comes.
• Chapter-wise "Previous-Year Tests". Examples: Para Jumbles with Indore 2019 to 2026, or Syllogisms with Rohtak 2019 to 2020 plus JIPMAT 2021 to 2026.
• Free RC passages from past papers at /ipmat-rc, with full explanations. No sign-in needed.

How to use past questions well

1. Do not do them all in the first month. Learn the chapter first, then attempt that chapter's past questions.
2. Treat them as a guide to style and difficulty, not as a promise of what will repeat.
3. Log every wrong or very slow answer. The error log brings them back with new numbers after 2, 7 and 21 days.
4. Use full mocks for timing and past questions for chapter depth.
