• Your 10th or 12th marks hold importance. Selection is purely based on JIPMAT scores. 
• IIM Bodh Gaya has increased seat intake to 120 seats.

In the event of students having the same overall composite score, the following tie-breaking criteria will be applied in descending order:

• Overall JIPMAT score (higher score ranks higher)
• VARC section score (higher score ranks higher)
• QA section score (higher score ranks higher)
• DILR section score (higher score ranks higher)
• Class XII score (higher score ranks higher)
• Class X score (higher score ranks higher)
• Class XII exam appearance
• Class X exam appearance
• Date of Birth: Younger candidates’ rank will be higher.

Note: Candidates appearing in the more recent 10th and 12th exam will be ranked higher. 

IIM Jammu Selection Criteria: 

• JIPMAT score holds 95% weightage.
• 5% for Gender diversity, where an extra 5% out of total score will be given to female candidates.
• Students will be taking the exam for 120 JIPMAT seats. 
• Students must have a minimum sectional cut-off to be considered for the selection. The required marks are listed in the table below:

Category	Quantitative Aptitude	Data Interpretation	Verbal Ability
General	50	50	50
EWS	35	35	35
NC-OBC	35	35	35
SC	30	30	30
ST	25	25	25
PwD	25	25	25

*Scores represented for these categories are based on IIM Bodh Gaya official cut-offs from past years. The JIPMAT Exam cut-off for 2024 is likely to be a bit higher than these numbers for all categories.

Important Points to Note for JIPMAT 2024

• Time consuming papers in themselves cannot be viewed as 'tough'. The problem a lot of students faced in this exam was time management. Whatever time was lost in QA and DI could be recovered in VA and therefore, cut-offs will be on the higher side.
• IIM Jammu had a seat intake of 140; IIM Bodhgaya also walked on the same line and increased their seat intake from 60 to 120. 
• JIPMAT has a tendency to make some changes in each exam each year. You never know what is going to end up happening. In 2022, sectional cut-offs were applicable in shortlisting. As of now, we don't know what it's going to be for 2024.
