The competition is really very tough when we will go for the engineering and medical entrance examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where the IPMAT exam comes into picture, as it is conducted by IIM Rohtak and IIM Indore which is now considered as a smart and futuristic choice of students. Instead of taking too long to prepare and chasing for the medical as well as engineering seat, candidates want to take a smart move and cover the exam in a short duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IPMAT exam helps students to get into the IIMs right after their class 12th exam and not only allows fast career growth but also provides high ROI and other global career opportunities. In this blog we will explore why IPMAT is the smart choice over JEE and NEET along with comparing all the three exams, ROI, career opportunities and more. These factors help candidates to make a better decision about their career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/Kq0PFUyoyb8HqVVo6yDfnr\"><img
