Targeting IIM Rohtak? Then you need to sit IPMAT Rohtak — a separate exam from IPMAT Indore, with its own paper, its own score and its own selection process. Every year, aspirants prepare for Indore, assume it covers them, and find out too late that it does not.

The Logical Reasoning gap
This is the crux. IPMAT Indore has no dedicated Logical Reasoning section. IPMAT Rohtak does. A student who has prepared exclusively for Indore walks into Rohtak facing an entire section they have never systematically practised — arrangements, series, syllogisms, blood relations, puzzles.
The overlap on Quantitative Ability and Verbal Ability is real and useful. But LR is the section that decides Rohtak, and it is the one Indore-only preparation leaves you blind on.
IPMAT Rohtak cut-offs (indicative)

|---|---|

| EWS | ~330+ |
