Dreaming of an IIM seat straight after Class 12? JIPMAT – the Joint Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test<\/strong> – makes that possible. Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA)<\/strong>, JIPMAT is the gateway to the prestigious 5-Year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM)<\/strong> at IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya, offering a combined BBA + MBA degree without needing a separate MBA entrance exam later. With just 260 seats across both IIMs and thousands of aspirants competing every year, getting counselling-ready is as important as cracking the exam itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where Manabadi (manabadi.co.in<\/mark><\/a>) – India’s most trusted education portal – comes in. We bring you this complete, accurate, and up-to-date guide on JIPMAT Counselling 2026, sourced directly from official portals, covering everything from the counselling schedule and cutoffs to merit lists and documents – so you can focus on what matters most: securing your IIM seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is JIPMAT Counselling 2026?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JIPMAT counselling refers to the post-result admission process through which shortlisted candidates are offered seats in the 5-Year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) at IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya. Unlike exams like JEE or NEET, there is NO centralized JIPMAT counselling portal. Each IIM releases its own merit list, cutoff, and admission offer independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The counselling process begins after the JIPMAT 2026 result is declared by NTA. Candidates must register their Expression of Interest (EoI) on the respective IIM portals to be considered for seat allotment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JIPMAT Counselling 2026 Schedule (Tentative)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
