IPMAT is the entrance exam for the five year Integrated program in Management offered by IIM Indore. In this entrance exams, basic questions at 10+2 level are asked in Quantitative Ability and Verbal Ability. As the syllabus is already covered at 10+2 level, you may not want to take a coaching. Attempting a huge number of mock papers and solving previous years sample question papers should help in cracking the examination and getting a good score.

However, if you do wish to take coaching, below are the factors to consider while deciding which institute is the best.

1. Faculty - Whenever you decide a coaching institute, keep in mind to see at least one demo class by the faculty there. Though all teachers can give you clarity on concepts, tips, tricks and time to time feedback, only few teachers can guide you to develop the right strategies for the exam and personality to crack the interview. Look for those guiding teachers. If possible, take feedback of students who have previously attended classes in the coaching institute and compare with others.
2. Study Material - CAT and IPMAT are very similar. Hence in most cases you may find that the coaching material provided from IPMAT is similar to that for CAT. It is therefore important to choose an institute which caters to a comprehensive approach at 10+2/BBA level. Understand whether the concepts are clearly detailed out and enough examples and mock tests are given for practice.
3. Mock Tests - These are very important for your preparation for any competitive exam. Choose an institute which has a wide series of mock tests specially curated for IPMAT. Along with this also look at the number of enrollees for these exams. An institute where maximum number of aspirants take mock test definitely gives you a better estimate of where you stand and can help you replicate the real scenario. You can thereby improve.
4. Personal Training - Given that IPMAT also has an interview process, it is very important that you are nurtured accordingly. Also at this stage you need lot of help in analysing the papers, strengths, weakness and guidance for your exam strategies. An institute where faculty/assigned mentor can devote time into your preparation should be the first choice.

Considering all the above factors make a decision on the institute you want to join. Below mentioned are few coaching classes for IPMAT:

• IMS
• Career Launcher
• T.I.M.E
• AceIPM
• 2IIM
• Supergrads

Hello Dear,

There are many coaching online and offline both. So you can choose among them as per your convenience which suits with the most. Few things which you have to keep in your mind while selecting any coaching. Be it an online or an offline institute, we always look for the guidance of a faculty we trust completely. To an average student, faculty is someone who teaches, guides and gives them feedback on their progress.  Just like with the faculty, a comprehensive study material that caters specifically to the IPM aspirants is necessary. Any exam is incredibly easy if you've already seen the questions before. And, that’s why mock tests are so important. Most big-name coaching institutes fail miserably in this regard as they’re too big to be guiding each and every student personally.  There are many coaching like career launcher and IMS are the best among all.

Good Luck
