JIPMAT study plan

JIPMAT · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude

  • Audit your current Quantitative Aptitude level by solving 30 mixed-difficulty questions under a 45-minute timer and log your accuracy per topic.

  • Rebuild arithmetic fundamentals: practise percentages, ratio and proportion, and averages until you can convert between fraction, decimal, and percentage forms without hesitation.

  • Build a personal formula sheet covering percentage change, successive discounts, and proportion splitting, then write one worked example per formula.

  • Set up an error log with columns for topic, cause of error (concept, calculation, misread), and corrective action, and record every mistake this week.

Your checkpoint

A scored 30-question diagnostic sheet plus a one-page arithmetic formula sheet and an error log with at least 20 entries.

Week 2

Quantitative Aptitude

  • Drill profit and loss, simple and compound interest, and partnership problems in timed blocks of 10 questions to build speed on commercial arithmetic.

  • Solve time-speed-distance and time-and-work problems using unit-rate and LCM shortcut methods, and compare each answer against the conventional method.

  • Practise ratio-based mixture and alligation problems, writing the allegation diagram for every question before calculating.

  • Review last week's error log and re-solve every logged question cold, without looking at the original solution.

Your checkpoint

A timed 25-question arithmetic test scored at or above 70 percent accuracy, with full solutions written for every question you missed.

Week 3

Quantitative Aptitude

  • Master number system concepts: divisibility rules up to 11, HCF and LCM, remainders, and cyclicity of unit digits.

  • Solve permutation, combination, and probability questions by first classifying each as arrangement, selection, or chance, then choosing the method.

  • Work through mensuration and geometry basics: area and perimeter of standard figures, Pythagoras triples, and properties of triangles and circles.

  • Time yourself on 20 number-system and geometry questions to identify which sub-topics still consume more than two minutes each.

Your checkpoint

A sub-topic speed report listing average time per question for at least six quantitative sub-topics, with the three slowest flagged for revision.

Week 4

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning

  • Learn to read tabular and bar data sets by extracting only the figures a question needs and ignoring irrelevant columns.

  • Practise percentage-change and ratio comparisons across data sets, estimating answers before computing them exactly.

  • Solve line-graph and pie-chart questions, converting pie-chart angles to values quickly and checking totals for consistency.

  • Attempt a 20-question data interpretation set in 30 minutes and record how many errors came from misreading rather than calculation.

Your checkpoint

A full 20-question data interpretation set completed under 30 minutes with a written note on the source of each error.

Week 5

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning

  • Build logical reasoning accuracy on series completion, analogies, and classification by solving 15 questions of each type and noting the rule used.

  • Practise seating arrangement and puzzle questions by drawing a fixed diagram for every problem before answering.

  • Work through syllogisms and blood relations using Venn diagrams and family trees rather than mental shortcuts.

  • Solve direction sense and ranking-order problems and verify each answer by re-tracing the path or order.

Your checkpoint

A diagram notebook containing at least 15 fully drawn reasoning setups (seating, puzzles, syllogisms) with the correct answer marked on each.

Week 6

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

  • Read two passages of 400 to 600 words each under a 12-minute limit and answer the accompanying questions, marking where in the passage each answer is supported.

  • Practise inference and tone questions by eliminating options that are true but not stated in the passage.

  • Revise grammar fundamentals: subject-verb agreement, tenses, articles, prepositions, and common confusions such as affect versus effect.

  • Complete 30 sentence-correction and fill-in-the-blank questions, writing the rule that justifies each answer.

Your checkpoint

Two timed reading comprehension sets with every answer annotated to its supporting line, plus a grammar rule sheet of at least 20 rules.

Week 7

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension & Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning

  • Expand vocabulary by learning 60 high-frequency exam words with usage sentences, and test yourself with a self-made matching quiz.

  • Practise para-jumbles and odd-sentence-out questions by identifying opening sentences and logical connectors.

  • Attempt a mixed verbal reasoning and critical reasoning set covering assumption, strengthening, and weakening questions.

  • Revisit the weakest reasoning sub-topic from week 5 and solve 20 targeted questions on it.

Your checkpoint

A 60-word vocabulary list with usage sentences and a scored 20-question verbal plus critical reasoning set at or above 70 percent accuracy.

Week 8

Quantitative Aptitude & Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning & Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

  • Take three full-length mock tests under strict exam timing and log section-wise scores and time allocation for each.

  • Analyse every mock within 24 hours, categorising each error as concept gap, careless mistake, or time pressure.

  • Re-solve all questions from the error log across all eight weeks and confirm each is now correct without hints.

  • Finalise an exam-day strategy specifying the order of sections, target time per section, and a rule for when to skip a question.

Your checkpoint

A mock test analysis sheet showing three full-length scores with a trend line and a written one-page exam-day strategy.

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 70 percent on a timed 25-question arithmetic test and show that every logged error from weeks 1 and 2 has been re-solved correctly.

Week 4: Complete a 20-question data interpretation set within 30 minutes, with no more than three errors attributable to misreading the data.

Week 6: Finish two reading comprehension sets within 12 minutes per passage and justify every answer with a line reference from the passage.

Week 8: Achieve a rising trend across three full-length mocks, with the final mock showing balanced section scores and no section left partially attempted.
