JEE vs IPMAT – the debate is omnipresent since there are quite a few JEE aspirants who look at IPMAT as another avenue they would want to keep open. Having said that, there are quite a few preparation adjustments that a JEE aspirant has to make when it comes to IPMAT preparation. For starters, it is important to acknowledge that these are two different examinations<\/em><\/strong> with certain overlapping topics<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, coming to the adjustments in terms of preparation, what are the aspects that need to be considered to this end?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Factor #1 – JEE vs IPMAT – the level of difficulty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This one is easy. It is obvious that JEE as an examination is far more difficult than IPMAT. The level of Math that is tested in JEE is way higher than that tested in IPMAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, IPMAT is easy for a JEE aspirant?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ah, that is interesting. We are so attuned to the belief that just because we are ready for the tougher examination, the easier one will automatically fall in place. That need not always be the case<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to understand this reality, we need to understand how IPMAT breaks itself down into two parts, with some components tied to each of these parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This part consists of topics\/concepts like Permutations and Combinations, Inequalities, Functions, Exponents and Logarithms, Polynomials, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the tougher sets of ideas associated with Algebra when it comes to the mathematical rigour involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This part consists of topics that test more of your aptitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the components that we can include in this bucket are Averages, Ratios and Proportions, Mixtures, Pipes and Cisterns, Progressions, et al.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the JEE vs IPMAT angle fit in here?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A JEE aspirant is perhaps more prepared and game-ready for the tougher ideas and the more rigorous Math (essentially the topics that constitute Part 1). As a JEE aspirant, you probably are not used to the simpler ideas that form a crucial chunk of the IPMAT Quant. You simply cannot allow yourself the luxury of not getting acclimatized to the simpler ideas, just because you are great at the tougher ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a JEE aspirant…<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You need to tell yourself, “I am ready for the tougher concepts anyway, thanks to my JEE preparation. When it comes to JEE vs IPMAT, I need to focus on the easier ideas now. It will take me three days or so, but I will spend that time and get game-ready for IPMAT.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once you are ready to face both these sets of problems, you are looking at a great score in Quant (or Math, in common parlance), which will then make your overall cutoff sail through the roof, or at least push it to a position where you can clear the overall cutoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
