Hello Mayank. My daughter just finished with her Class 12 Board exams, Commerce stream. She plans to appear for IP MAT entrance exam. The exam is on 16.6.2023. Can you guide us with a proper preparation strategy to prepare for the entrance in approx. 2.5 months. Should she join some some crash coaching or the exam can be prepared by self study only also.Thanks.

Ans: For her to score well, she needs to understand the paper pattern, the syllabus that is being covered and she must try and attempt a few papers as mock tests. This will give her clarity on where she needs to focus more of her energy on to improve her mock test results. While there is some time for her to prepare & if she is diligent with her studies and solely focuses on them over the net 2.5 months, she should be study on her own - there are multiple resources available on the internet to prepare as well which she can refer to. A crash course at a coaching center will also be helpful as they will have the formats and the curriculum plans in place for her to study at. It depends on what she is more comfortable doing.

Good morning.My son is in standard 10th right now.We have planned to target CLAT and IPMAT for him after 12th.I it possible to prepare for both?If yes,how should he go about preparing for both ? What is the exam schedule?Thanks and regards.
Ans: Sumeet Sir, as Students should always have Plan B & Plan C, he can target both CLAT & IPMAT. However,

(a) he should allot more time to the one he is more interested in (law or management?).
(b) Preparing for both exams even from the 10th now will help him a lot to crack both exams with a decent score
(c) It is better to shortlist at least 5 law/management colleges he wishes to join, based on location preference, NIRF Ranking, specialization in both (civil, criminal, corporate, tax, cyber, intellectual property etc. and also in management: Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations, IT/Systems, etc.)
(d) He should join offline or online Coaching with any reputed Coaching Center. Choosing the right coaching center to prepare for both exams is important & also the Time Management for both.
(e) Make sure, he chooses the right stream (commerce or science) for his 11th/12th. Choosing the easier stream and the stream he is interested in will be better as he has to focus for CLAT & IPMAT also.
(f) It is also advisable to appear in 2-more Law & Management Entrance Exams as back-ups, instead of relying only on CLAT & IMPAT.
(g) Please check the syllabus of each Entrance Exam, download them, check the differences & he should focus more on weak subjects/topics among (examples of 2 exams):

IPMAT: Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning, and Verbal Ability.
CLAT: current affairs, logical reasoning, English language, legal reasoning, and quantitative techniques.

All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future, Sir.
