How to estimate your JIPMAT score
JIPMAT is a 100-question MCQ test (Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning, and Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension). NTA's marking is typically +4 for a correct answer and −1 for a wrong one, with no penalty for unattempted questions. Count your correct and incorrect answers from the response sheet and apply this scheme for a close estimate — but treat the final answer key as authoritative, since a successful objection can change one or two keys. Always confirm the exact marking scheme in the official information bulletin.
When is the JIPMAT result?
NTA releases the final answer key and the result on the same day, tentatively in the last week of June 2026. The result will show your scores, percentile and qualifying status; shortlisted candidates then move to the IIMs' selection stages for IPM admission. Keep checking jipmat.nta.nic.in and this page for the result date.

NTA JIPMAT Answer Key 2026 — Provisional Key Out, Result by Late June — Analysis & Trends
A note on what to do now.
Estimate your score, but do not over-read a provisional key. The objection window has closed, which means NTA is now reviewing challenges — so a handful of answer keys can still change before the final version. If your estimated score sits comfortably above the previous year's qualifying percentile, you can confidently start preparing for the IIMs' post-JIPMAT stages; if you are on the borderline, wait for the final key before drawing conclusions, because one or two revised keys can move a borderline candidate either way. Use the gap to research the IPM programmes at IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu and their selection criteria, so you are ready to act the moment the result drops. Always score against the official final answer key, not a coaching key or this estimate.
