Introduction

Integrated Program in Management Aptitude Test (IPMAT) 2026 is considered to be one of the most competitive exams that students take to receive a place at IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak or thanks to JIPMAT. Out of its three parts, which are Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning and Verbal Ability, the Parajumbles is an important part in assessing the overall score in the Verbal Ability part.

Yet, what is so essential about Parajumbles? The response is straight forward- they do not just check how well you understand English but also check your logical thinking capabilities. It is time to go into a detailed step-by-step procedure of doing Parajumbles in IPMAT 2026.

Understanding Parajumbles

The questions in the parajumbles are not in a logical and coherent order, so to answer them, you need to rearrange the sentences of a paragraph in a logical and coherent order. They test your capacity to determine how ideas, logical connectors, and main points of a passage flow.

Within IPMAT 2026, parajumble questions will be predominantly of the TITA (Type in the Answer) type i.e. there will be no options provided and you will have to determine the correct order by yourself. This puts them difficult as well as very rewarding in case they are dealt with appropriately.

Weightage of Parajumbles in IPMAT

Parajumbles have a consistent weightage in the Verbal Ability (VA) section. They account for nearly 30% of the section, making them a must-master topic.

The marking scheme is straightforward: +4 for every correct answer and -1 for every wrong attempt

Since they are TITA questions, there’s no guesswork—accuracy is the key.
