IPMAT Indore Passing Marks - Check Category Wise Marks

The IPMAT Indore exam concluded on 4 May 2026, and candidates are now eagerly evaluating their chances based on expected passing marks. The IPMAT Indore passing marks are likely to vary by category, with General category passing marks expected around 22-26 (QA SA), 33-37 (QA MCQ), and 110-118 (Verbal Ability), while other categories will have slightly lower ranges.

However, clearing these marks is only the first step. A safe score for the General category is typically 205+, with proportionately lower safe scores for EWS, NC-OBC, SC, ST, and PwD categories. Since IPMAT Indore has strict sectional cut-offs, candidates must clear each section individually. With rising competition and limited seats, scoring well above the passing marks remains crucial for securing a Personal Interview (PI) call.
