- All 120 questions are MCQs, in one 120-minute paper.
- Each question carries 4 marks. Each wrong answer costs 1 mark. Unattempted questions get no marks.
- The paper is out of 480 (120 questions × 4 marks). That total is our arithmetic, not a figure stated by IIM Rohtak.

- Candidates who also apply for the IPL (law) programme take an extra Legal Reasoning section of 20 questions in 20 minutes.
Some coaching pages say 90 questions. The official figure is 120.
