The IPMAT Indore marking scheme differs from that of IPMAT Rohtak. IPMAT Indore has three sections- MCQ-based Quant, Short Answer-type questions on Quant and MCQs on Verbal Ability. Whereas, in the case of IPMAT Rohtak, there are 3 sections: Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Ability, and Logical Reasoning.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1777706449172\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the question paper pattern of IPMAT Indore?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">IPMAT Indore question paper includes 90 questions divided into three sections: 30 QA-MCQs, 15 QA-Short Answers, and 45 Verbal Ability MCQs.
