IMS Indore · Profile discovery

Your profile

About six minutes. Your report is built from these answers, so the more you fill, the sharper it is.

Questions marked * are required. The rest are optional but change what the report can show you.

What are you preparing for? *

This decides the whole report — the exams, the colleges, and what we ask you next.

Please choose one.

Where should your report go?

We build it as you answer. It stays at your own link. Three things, and we will not ask again.

We send the report here. Nothing else, unless you ask. Every mail has an unsubscribe link.

Which year do you finish class 12? *

It sets which IPM and BBA cycles you are eligible for — most of them accept you only in the year you pass out or the one after.

2027

Year of class 12

Please set the year.

Which stream are you in? *

IPM at the IIMs is open to every stream, but the aptitude paper is built on class 10 maths, so we plan your quant differently by stream.

Please choose one.

What were your class 10 marks? *

IPM shortlists score class 10 and class 12 directly, so this changes which of them can call you.

Please choose one.

Are you taking mathematics in class 11 and 12?

A few programmes require it. Where it is not required it still decides how much quant preparation you need.

What did you study in your degree? *

Many top programmes shortlist on your degree. Tell us yours and we can show you which ones.

When did you finish, or expect to finish, your degree? *

Set the year your degree ends. A future year tells us you are still studying, so we will not read the time as a gap.

2024

Year of graduation

Do you hold a professional qualification?

Optional. A qualification is read before anything else on your application. Select all that apply.

Are you part-way through one?

Only the ones you can carry on with while you prepare. Anything you would start from zero is not listed.

Which category do you apply under? *

Cutoffs at the IIMs and most other schools are set separately for each category. Without this we have to show you general-category numbers, which understates what you can reach. We use it only to work out your call chances and we do not share it.

Please choose one.

What is your gender?

Many schools award diversity points for gender, which changes which of them can call you. Optional — if you skip it we keep the estimate conservative.

Did you study mathematics in your degree?

Business analytics programmes require it. This decides whether they are open to you at all.

How much full-time work experience do you have? *

Count only full-time months after your degree. Internships and projects are asked separately below. Work experience is scored directly at most schools, and it decides which programmes are open to you.

0

months of full-time work — leave at 0 if you have none

Please set this, even if it is zero.

Beyond your marks

Optional. Schools look for evidence outside academics. Tick anything you have already done, so the report builds on it instead of asking you to start it.

How much of the exam syllabus have you covered so far?

The CAT syllabus runs across Quant, Verbal & Reading, and Data & Logic. Estimate how much of it you have already been through — a rough figure is fine. It decides how much of your remaining time goes to finishing the syllabus and how much to practice.

0%

How many hours a day can you give to preparation? *

Your projected percentile is calculated from this number together with the time left to the exam, so a hopeful figure only flatters the report.

3

hours a day, on average

Where do you stand in each section today? *

An honest estimate is enough. This decides where your hours are spent, not just how many.

Please answer all three.

Quant

Verbal & Reading

Data & Logic

What were your graduation marks? *

Most schools score academics directly in the shortlist, so this changes which of them can call you.

Which specialisation interests you?

Optional. Your college list is built around it, and “not sure yet” is a legitimate answer at this stage.

Have you attempted a mock or the exam already?

Optional. If you have a percentile we credit the preparation behind it. If you do not, skip this — the projection does not depend on it.

What would you like the report to answer?

We have read your answers and ticked what they point to. Only questions that can still apply to you are shown. Add or remove anything — the closing section of your report answers exactly what is ticked here.

My profile

Marks, gaps and work — what sits on your application.

My preparation

The exam: sections, mocks, hours, syllabus, and whether your plan is working.

The colleges and courses

Fees, specialisations, one year or two, placements, and what to do if no calls come.

Are you considering coaching for the exam? *

Your report is yours either way. Saying yes adds two sections — which attempt to target, and which IMS programme fits your runway.

Which exams are you writing? *

Select all you intend to sit. Each has its own cycle and its own colleges, and the report compares them side by side.

Please select at least one.

Which attempt are you targeting? *

This, with your daily hours, is what the projection is built on.

Please choose one.
