Updated on 23 February 2026, by Arman Kumar
Introduction
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is anticipated to release the notification for the Joint Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test (JIPMAT) 2026 shortly on its official website, nta.ac.in. This examination serves as the entrance test for the Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) admissions at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya.
JIPMAT 2026 Registration Schedule
Based on previous years’ trends, JIPMAT registrations typically last for about one month. In the last admission cycle, the notification was released on February 11, and the exam took place in late April. However, the delay in the release of the JIPMAT 2026 notification suggests that the exam timeline may be adjusted this year. It is also possible that the NTA may shorten the registration window, encouraging candidates to apply promptly once the application form becomes available.
Exam Overview
The JIPMAT examination is conducted in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format and evaluates candidates across three main sections:
- Quantitative Aptitude
- Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning
- Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension
The examination consists of a total of 100 questions, designed to assess the analytical, numerical, and language skills necessary for management education.
Eligibility Criteria for JIPMAT 2026
To be eligible for JIPMAT 2026, candidates must have completed Class 12 or be appearing for the qualifying examination. Specific age and academic requirements will be detailed in the official information brochure released by the NTA.
IPM Admission Policy: Weightage Details
According to the admission policy previously released by IIM Jammu, the JIPMAT score holds a weightage of 70%. The remaining 30% is evenly split between the performance in Class 10 and Class 12 examinations. On the other hand, IIM Bodh Gaya is yet to disclose its detailed IPM admission policy for the 2026–31 batch.
What Candidates Should Do Now?
As the JIPMAT 2026 notification approaches, candidates are advised to take the following steps:
- Regularly check the NTA website (nta.ac.in) for the official notification.
- Prepare academic documents and personal details necessary for registration.
- Review previous years’ JIPMAT exam patterns and syllabus to familiarize yourself with the format.
- Monitor updates related to the IPM admission criteria of the participating IIMs.
Conclusion
In summary, the JIPMAT 2026 exam is a significant opportunity for students aspiring to pursue a career in management through the prestigious IIMs. With the registration process expected to begin soon, candidates should stay informed and prepare adequately to enhance their chances of success.
