They are two prominent exams in India and are the only options to get admitted into IITs and IIMs, respectively, just after the 12th grade. Both are good career options that a student can look at in his or her life. So, what is the better option for them in terms of career plan, opportunity, diversity and many other things. Before looking at that, we need to understand these exams.
| JEE | IPMAT | |
| Target Colleges: | IITs | IIMs |
| Degrees Offered: | B Tech | BBA/BA Hons.
MBA |
| Paper Difficulty: | Tough | Moderate |
| No. Of Rounds: | JEE MAINS

IPMAT
INTERVIEW |
| Career: | Engineer | Manager |
| Back up: | NITS,IIITS etc. | IIFT,TAPMI,NIRMA etc. |
| Tag Value: | GREAT | GREAT |
| Applicable: | PCM students | Any background |
These are some key factors that a student must look at while making his/her decision.
Apart from this you need to know the fact that JEE is given by 14+ lakhs students and IPMAT by 40K nearly. So yes there is some edge when we compare students to seat ratio.
CAN THEY BOTH BE MANAGED SIMULTANEOUSLY?
If we look at the subjects that come in the exam, then they are for JEE: advance mathematics,physics,chemistry and for IPMAT: Quantitative ability(mathematics), logical reasoning, verbal ability. Still, everything is manageable, when done simultaneously, except verbal ability. By reading newspapers, marking words and building comprehension skills, one can fill all the remaining spaces, but remember managing it is super strenuous and require serious hard work.
Therefore, we can say yes, it is manageable but, it is definitely not recommended. It is better if a student decides what passion he/she has and chooses his/her career path accordingly.
CONCLUSION-
IPMAT is generally considered easier than JEE due to its focus on aptitude, logical reasoning, and verbal ability rather than advanced mathematics, physics, and chemistry. However, the competition for both is intense, and the difficulty is subjective based on individual strengths. IPMAT suits those aiming for a management career, while JEE is for those interested in engineering. Both require dedicated preparation and a strategic approach.
