Alerts and Updates for JIP-MAT

JIPMAT 2026 (the NTA-conducted test for the 5-year IPM programmes at IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya) had its result declared on 25 June 2026. There is no centralised counselling -- each IIM runs its own merit list and seat offers via an Expression of Interest on its own portal.

At IIM Jammu, candidates offered an IPM seat had to pay Rs 50,000 to accept, with a withdrawal window (Rs 1,000 deducted) open until 9 August 2026, per the institute's own admission policy page -- indicating IPM 2026 admissions there were still being finalised into early August.

At IIM Bodh Gaya (120 IPM seats), the first merit list required an offer-acceptance payment of Rs 90,000 by 26 July 2026, with a second merit list on 27 July 2026 and waitlist movement continuing afterward across its Admission Offer, Waitlist, Sectional Qualified and Not Qualified categories.

NTA declared the JIPMAT 2026 result on June 24, 2026, for the exam held on June 7, 2026 (3.00 pm to 5.30 pm). Scorecards can be downloaded from the candidate login on the official JIPMAT portal, exams.nta.nic.in/jipmat, using the application number and date of birth.

The final answer key was released on June 23, 2026, one day before the result. It followed the provisional answer key and recorded responses put out on June 10, 2026, with a paid challenge window that closed on June 12, 2026. The final key is now the basis of all scores.

There is no centralised JIPMAT counselling. IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu shortlist and admit separately on their own portals for the five-year Integrated Programme in Management, which has roughly 260 seats between the two institutes. Track each IIM's admission page for its own cutoff and merit list.

The two IIMs weigh the JIPMAT score differently: IIM Jammu is reported to shortlist on a composite of 70 per cent JIPMAT score and 30 per cent Class 10 and 12 marks, while IIM Bodh Gaya relies primarily on the JIPMAT score itself. Official cutoffs are released by each institute after the result.
