JIPMAT Exam Pattern
Each stage is checked separately so one stage cannot inherit another stage's scoring rules.

Timing: Single composite 69-minute timer for all three sections combined: no sectional lock, matching the official test's own no-sectional-time-limit rule.
The official JIPMAT (conducted by the National Testing Agency for IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu) has 100 questions for 400 marks in 150 minutes, 4 marks for each correct answer and 1 mark negative for each wrong answer, with no sectional time limit, across three sections: Quantitative Aptitude (33Q), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (33Q), and Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (34Q). This mock covers all three sections in the same proportion, scaled to roughly half: 45 questions (15 per section), with the same single composite timer, no sectional lock, and the same +4/-1 marking scheme. All three sections are skill-based (quantitative calculation, data interpretation and logical puzzles, vocabulary and reading comprehension), not fact-recall, so no section needed excluding for content-risk reasons.
