IPMAT Rohtak study plan
IPMAT Rohtak · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Quantitative Ability
Diagnose baseline Quantitative Ability accuracy by completing 40 mixed arithmetic questions under a 45-minute timer and logging every error by cause (concept gap, calculation slip, misread).
Rebuild speed on percentages, ratios, and averages by solving 60 questions in three timed 20-question sets, targeting 80% accuracy per set.
Drill mental calculation daily for 15 minutes on fraction-to-percentage conversions, squares to 30, and multiplication of two-digit numbers.
Set up a single error log with columns for question type, time taken, root cause, and the corrective rule to apply next time.
Your checkpoint
A completed diagnostic report listing baseline accuracy per topic and a written list of the five error patterns to fix first.
Quantitative Ability
Master time-speed-distance and work problems by solving 50 questions and writing a one-line formula card for each problem subtype.
Apply the unitary method and chain-rule shortcuts to 30 ratio-and-proportion questions, capping each at 90 seconds.
Convert word problems into equations within 30 seconds by practising 25 translation-only drills without solving them.
Review the week-1 error log and re-solve every missed question cold until each is correct without notes.
Your checkpoint
A one-page formula and shortcut sheet covering percentages, ratios, averages, time-speed-distance, and work, validated against 50 solved questions.
Quantitative Ability & Logical Reasoning
Solve 60 number-system and algebra questions (HCF-LCM, remainders, linear and quadratic equations) with a 75% accuracy target.
Complete 40 logical reasoning questions on series, analogies, and coding-decoding under a 60-minute timer.
Identify the three reasoning question types where accuracy falls below 60% and write a step-by-step solving template for each.
Time-box every practice set so no single question consumes more than two minutes.
Your checkpoint
A timed mock section report for Quantitative Ability and Logical Reasoning showing accuracy, average time per question, and the three weakest subtypes.
Quantitative Ability & Logical Reasoning
Solve 50 geometry and mensuration questions (triangles, circles, areas, volumes) and memorise the 15 formulas used most often.
Complete 40 seating-arrangement and puzzle-based reasoning sets, drawing a diagram for every set before answering.
Practise 30 data-interpretation sets combining tables and bar charts with calculation shortcuts.
Re-attempt all questions missed in weeks 1-3 and confirm each is now solved correctly in under two minutes.
Your checkpoint
A full-length 90-minute sectional test in Quantitative Ability plus Logical Reasoning, scored and analysed with a written list of remaining gaps.
Verbal Ability & General Awareness
Build a 300-word vocabulary list from reading editorials, and use 100 of those words in original sentences.
Complete 40 reading-comprehension passages, practising the skim-question-read strategy and capping each passage at six minutes.
Solve 50 grammar and error-spotting questions covering subject-verb agreement, tenses, prepositions, and modifiers.
Compile a current-affairs digest covering the previous three months across polity, economy, science, and sports, with 10 bullet points per week.
Your checkpoint
A dated current-affairs digest of at least 120 bullet points plus a vocabulary log of 300 words with usage sentences.
Verbal Ability & General Awareness
Complete 30 para-jumble and sentence-completion sets, writing the connector word that justifies each ordering decision.
Summarise 15 editorial articles in 60 words each to practise precise, concise written expression.
Revise the current-affairs digest and self-test on 100 static general-awareness facts (Indian constitution, geography, awards, organisations).
Review every verbal error from weeks 1-6 and classify each as vocabulary, grammar, or comprehension logic.
Your checkpoint
A scored 60-minute verbal plus general-awareness sectional test with an error classification table and a revised digest.
Quantitative Ability & Logical Reasoning & Verbal Ability & General Awareness
Complete two full-length simulated tests under exam timing, replicating the section order and breaks.
Analyse each mock within 24 hours, tagging every error and recording the time lost per section.
Fix the three highest-frequency error tags by doing 20 targeted questions per tag.
Rehearse a question-selection strategy: decide within 20 seconds whether to solve, skip, or return to each question.
Your checkpoint
Two completed mock tests with written post-mortems listing error tags, time lost per section, and the specific fixes applied.
Quantitative Ability & Logical Reasoning & Verbal Ability & General Awareness
Complete two final mocks in the first four days, then shift to light revision only.
Re-solve the 60 most-missed questions from the entire error log until each is correct without hints.
Recite formula sheets, the vocabulary log, and the current-affairs digest in three 45-minute revision passes.
Finalise exam-day logistics: section time allocation, attempt thresholds, and a skip rule for any question exceeding two minutes.
Your checkpoint
A one-page exam-day strategy card with per-section time budgets, target attempt counts, and personal skip rules.
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 70% on a 30-question timed Quantitative Ability set and show that every week-1 error-log entry has been re-solved correctly.
Week 4: Score at least 65% on a 90-minute sectional test covering Quantitative Ability and Logical Reasoning, with average time per question under 100 seconds.
Week 6: Score at least 65% on a 60-minute verbal plus general-awareness sectional test and hold a current-affairs digest of at least 120 dated bullet points.
Week 8: Score at least 70% overall on the final full-length mock, with no section below 60% and all error-log entries closed.
