However, like every other student, she also had a different career vision. She was not willing to work as a doctor and wanted to establish a successful career at a renowned corporate firm or build her startup. Throughout class 11th and until halfway of 12th, she was deeply engrossed in solving NEET-level questions from different subjects,i.e, biology, physics and chemistry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While preparing for the NEET examination and practising mock tests regularly, she got to know about the IPMAT examination in mid-12th from one of her school friends. Before that, she had no idea about this examination and didn\u2019t even know the full form of IIMs. This is where her career took a significant turn, and she had made up her mind to appear for IMPAT.&nbsp; She gathered consequential information about the <strong>IPMAT syllabus<\/strong>, exam pattern, list of colleges, cut-off score and built a solid preparation plan to ace this competitive exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Was_Bothering_Shweta_To_Appear_For_IPMAT\"><\/span><strong>What Was Bothering Shweta To Appear For IPMAT?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After knowing about IPMAT (Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test), Shweta was constantly thinking about this exam. The thought of appearing for IPMAT and proving her capabilities was not leaving her mind at all. It was then, during her Class 12th, that she chose to give her first attempt. Unfortunately, she couldn\u2019t clear the exam, but was ready to confess about her decision to her parents. At first, she shared this decision with her mother, who supported her throughout and, till today stands as her biggest supporter. Initially, she was against her decision, but after seeing her tremendous hard work, commitment, and dedication, he also supported her a lot. Then with utmost sincerity and focussed approach she finally cleared IPMAT in her second attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shwetas_Preparation_Tips_For_QA_Verbal_Ability\"><\/span><strong>Shweta\u2019s Preparation Tips For QA &amp; Verbal Ability&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Know that not having maths as a subject in Class 11th and 12th didn\u2019t create any obstacle for Shweta to stand out as the <strong>IPMAT Indore Topper.<\/strong> Upon speaking with multiple counsellors for IPMAT Preparation, she finally landed at iQuanta. During her initial conversation with our counsellor, she mentioned that she\u2019s a non-math student and strives to crack IPMAT. She also inquired if all the mathematical concepts would be taught from scratch to develop a strong theoretical and practical understanding of them. Well, she got to hear \u201cYes\u201d from the counsellor, but couldn\u2019t rely on it fully. Henceforth, when our expert counsellor asked her if she wished to join demo classes, she immediately agreed to it. Soon, she enrolled for the iQuanta IPMAT 2025 Course, and the final result is here. She made it. This proves that even a non-math student can succeed in IPMAT with smart preparation. Let\u2019s have a close look at how Shweta prepared for this exam in her last attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Shweta watched online lectures on QA taught by Raj Sir. To practice quant questions, she referred to the iQuanta books and CAT PYQs.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appearing for regular mock tests helped her to a significant extent. It improved her overall score and performance.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>She started to cover the basic topics first and then proceeded further to attempt tough topics.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For challenging QA topics, she followed Raj Sir\u2019s advice to watch that particular video 3-4 times and then solve the question.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gave equal importance to the VARC section. She solved countless questions, as it\u2019s the major section where a candidate can easily score maximum marks.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Hours_Did_She_Study_To_Become_An_IPMAT_Indore_Topper\"><\/span><strong>How Many Hours Did She Study To Become An IPMAT Indore Topper?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Shweta was already preparing for the NEET exam, she had developed a regular habit of studying 9-10 hours daily. Later, she changed her strategy and study routine when she began her preparation for the IPMAT exam. She knew that it was essential to put extra effort towards the QA (Quantitative Section) to pull off the syllabus. Thus, she started studying for 10-12 hours regularly. According to her, a dropper should invest their maximum time to enhance their knowledge and proficiency in different topics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, as she didn\u2019t pursue maths in senior secondary school, it was more important for her to increase her study duration. While preparing for IPMAT, she followed an hourly study routine. For example: She studied English and VARC (Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension) from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. For Shweta, consistency was the primary key for accomplishing her study goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Did_Shweta_Avoid_Distractions_To_Clear_IPMAT_Indore\"><\/span><strong>How Did Shweta Avoid Distractions To Clear IPMAT Indore?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shweta was optimistic about appearing and clearing IPMAT, which made her take certain decisions. In order to increase focus and concentration, she eventually deleted all the social media applications from her smartphone. With this approach, it was easier for her to prepare rigorously for IPMAT. She wasn\u2019t involved in mindless scrolling, nor spent unnecessary time on the internet and was able to give 100% time for preparation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Kind_Of_Interview_Questions_Did_an_IPMAT_Indore_Topper_Have_to_Answer\"><\/span><strong>What Kind Of Interview Questions Did an IPMAT Indore Topper Have to Answer?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beginning of her preparation journey, Shweta was aware that, as she hails from a biology background, there would be a myriad of questions for her. Guess what? She was right! The interview panel from IIM Ranchi, IIM Rohtak and IIM Indore put a huge variety of questions to test her confidence and analyse her overall personality. Typical questions asked by the selection panel were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You studied biology in Class 12th. Why didn\u2019t you appear for NEET, and what made you appear for IPMAT?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You demonstrate an excellent academic record in 11th and 12th grades. Why don\u2019t you wish to pursue an MBBS degree?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How will you compete with your peers who come from a mathematical background and have a higher advantage?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To all these questions, her response was impressive enough to ace the interview in one go. She told the selection panel that QA (Quantitative Aptitude) is the fundamental segment for IPMAT. If she can obtain an in-depth proficiency in the core mathematics subjects, achieve the cut-off and score well in the Quants section, then she can also deliver excellent performance in her college academics too. Above all, her intellectual response was enough to impress the jury members and help her clear the Personal Interview round, which holds around 35% weightage in the selection process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Mock_Attempts_Are_Needed_To_Become_An_IPMAT_Indore_Topper\"><\/span><strong>How Many Mock Attempts Are Needed To Become An IPMAT Indore Topper?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, Shweta knew that completing the entire syllabus from the QA, Verbal Ability, and Logical Reasoning sections wouldn\u2019t be enough! It was equally important to practice mock tests frequently to get a performance analysis. Along with indulging in extensive preparation, multiple revisions, she also gave mock tests to gain detailed insights about her strengths and weaknesses. At the beginning of November 2024, she started giving mock tests for IPMAT. She attempted 30 mock tests and many sectionals, which led her to gain admission into IIM Indore. Altogether, Shweta acknowledged the benefit of mock tests and how they helped her acquire more clarity on all topics. Read below to know about her pivotal observations that she came across after mock test practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>IPMAT has less syllabus but diversified topics across basic, moderate and advanced levels. She understood that IMPAT and CAT are distinct from the NEET examination. If she has to attain a remarkable score, it is crucial to dive deeper into regular mock test practice for successful results.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By giving mock tests regularly, it was easier for her to solve Past Year Questions. Additionally, she also solved CAT PYQs for Quants, due to which she got a brief idea about the type of questions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shweta\u2019s Signature Opinion: <\/strong>Being an <strong>IPMAT Indore Topper,<\/strong> Shweta believes that an IPMAT aspirant should exhibit powerful decision-making skills to select and attempt good questions. Furthermore, she also highlights that candidates who are proficient enough in selecting good questions have a higher advantage in the IPMAT exam and tend to score well.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Took ChatGPT\u2019s Help: <\/strong>If she got stuck while solving any question, she made the best use of ChatGPT to receive guidance. She gave that question to ChatGPT and asked it to allocate her 4-5 similar and easy questions for practice. While resolving varied questions from a particular topic helped her understand that constant practice is the right pathway for solving any question.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Made_Her_Target_IPMAT_Indore_Continue_Her_Preparation\"><\/span><strong>What Made Her Target IPMAT Indore &amp; Continue Her Preparation?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Her decision to appear for the IPMAT examination was nothing less than a rollercoaster ride. People from her circle mocked her when she preferred IPMAT over NEET. A few also told her that it\u2019s impossible to clear IPMAT for her and that it\u2019s out of her league. Nevertheless, Shweta was confident with her decision, which didn\u2019t let her give up. With sheer determination and hard work, she kept preparing for the IPMAT exam because she wanted to prove others who tried to demotivate her. Lastly, she had a strategic approach to tackle challenges, and this too uplifted her spirit of not giving up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Did_Shweta_Choose_iQuanta_for_IPMAT_Preparation\"><\/span><strong>Why Did Shweta Choose iQuanta for IPMAT Preparation?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing iQuanta to prepare for IPMAT was the ultimate game-changer for her. The very first demo class that she attended instantly boosted her confidence. Although Anuraj Sir was teaching a different topic, she was still able to understand it as he was using basic techniques for proper explanation. He made the topic extremely easy for the students. On the other hand, here are a few more iQuanta course features that Shweta liked the most after enrolling for the preparation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Live + Recorded Classes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Question similarity in the IPMAT exam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structured learning plan&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personalised timetable to cover the entire syllabus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to solve a variety of sectional questions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doubt-Solving &amp; Mentorship&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check Her Detailed Interview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"9ptjrcT5zCw\"><iframe title=\"IPMAT Indore Topper Interview | PCB Student Shweta Singh Cracks IPMAT Indore\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9ptjrcT5zCw?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Her_Mother_Has_To_Say_After_Shweta_Became_An_IPMAT_Indore_Topper\"><\/span><strong>What Her Mother Has To Say After Shweta Became An IPMAT Indore Topper?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like every other parent, her parents had to also undergo the dilemma of what people would say to them. It was difficult at the initial stage for her father to agree with her. But as time passed by, he also supported her. Likewise, her mother stood like a rock with her.
