But lately in the last few years there have been a lot of changes in the paper pattern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year as well test takers can expect some changes in the IPMAT exam pattern. Earlier Geometry had less weightage and around 2-3 questions were asked but last year IPMAT Indore had approximately 8 questions in Geometry. So you can expect some changes in the IPMAT exam pattern 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some Changes Expected in IPMAT Indore Paper Pattern-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lesser Questions in Arithmetic &#8211;<\/strong> Earlier Arithmetic in IPMAT Indore was a high weightage topic and every year around 9+ questions were from this topic. But last year there were only around 3 questions from this topic and the same can be expected in IPMAT Indore 2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>RCs Might Carry More Weightage &#8211;<\/strong> In previous IPMAT Indore exam, RCs did not carry a significant weightage but recently it has gained a lot of weightage. The total weightage of the RC has increased by almost 50%. This year as well it is expected that RC will have a significant weightage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More Questions From Geometry Can be Expected &#8211;<\/strong> Upon analysing the IPMAT Indore exam pattern earlier it was observed that Geometry had a lesser weightage there were about 2-3 questions from Geometry but in the last year IPMAT Indore question paper there were around 8 questions from this topic.
