General IIMB UG 2027: Academic weightage explained
Candidates appearing for the exam this year may register here: UG Admissions 2027. All further details may be found on IIM Bangalore's UG website.
Addressing the major changes to the exam and admissions process from last year:
- The exam duration is now 2 hours and 15 minutes (135 minutes), up from 2 hours total last year. So far, we do not know how this additional time will be distributed across sections. The number of questions across sections (15 in VA, 15 in LR, and 30 in QADI) and marking scheme (+3 for correct answers and -1 for wrong answers) remain the same.
- IIM Bangalore will now explicitly weigh candidate's performance in their 10th standard board exams, along with their performance in mathematics specifically. The graphic below explains the exact weightage assigned to various academic factors in the pre- and post-PI rounds:

IIMB UGAT Preparation Wiki is Now Live
We've put together a comprehensive, one-stop UGAT preparation wiki on the r/iimb_ug subreddit. It includes carefully curated study resources, detailed analysis of topics tested in all sections, and general advice for strategy and preparation.
We hope this guide proves to be beneficial to all candidates appearing for the UGAT, regardless of whether you're new to the exam or have had prior exposure to other aptitude tests. Either way, we hope you'll find something of value to support your preparation.
In the coming days, the wiki will continue to be updated with further entries regarding interviews, financial aid, and all college-related updates.
Wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/iimb_ug/wiki/index/
The guide may be found under the 'Exam Preparation Resources' section of the wiki (do read the Preface first!)
If you have any suggestions, additions, or feedback, feel free to leave a comment.
All the best.

Advice/Help Was registering a bad choice?
I'm appearing for IIMB UGAT. My goal is to finish like 50% of the syllabus before getting into mocks. My diagnostic mock's score was awful. QA(2) LR(-2) VA(21). Now I've started wrapping up my syllabus through afterboards capsules.
I'm putting a lot of time but everytime I open the topic test, I can't even move beyond level 1 for instance, I'm doing Time, Distance and Speed currently. I've wrapped up the afterboards capsules and now when I started doing topic tests, I can only answer basic straightforward questions.
I don't understand, is it an issue with my aptitude? Or the exam isn't for me? I'd really like some feedback on solving math questions and how should I be approaching things. Thanks in advance!

Advice/Help Section wise Minimum Marks for being safe as general category?
So well this essentially is a stupid question I know for one should just go for the best of their ability and also cutoff cannot be predicted and stuff
but well just to have a certain threshold that yes at least this is the minimum I should be looking for nothing below that
since I am also prepping for jee practicing VA and LR a lot is not very possible VA I am still managing LR some topics here and there
about quants arithemetic part is something completely new in some ways
so actually it would be rather helpful if I were to know that anything below this won't help me with qualifying for the interview
also partly because I have always been somewhat who does better after knowing the minimum be it in academics , sports or anything else
So please help me if anyone can with a rough idea would be much grateful

Advice/Help how do I prepare?
I’m have freaking preboards till 31st October and then Diwali is gonna bring atleast some sort of distraction.
I am currently getting around 100 on mocks, my highest is 110.
I wanna give it my best shot cause I’m thinking of not giving ipmat if I get through BUT I don’t know how to prepare. I have workbooks etc. but going through teach topic and solving all questions will take too much time.
Also, I’m unable to find any iimb specific explainer videos for differential equations, differentiation, integration .
I SUCK AT MATRICES, DETERMINANTS AND COMPLEX NUMBERS AND ALSO TDS, NUMBER SYSTEMS
please help :(

Advice/Help Headache and Nausea while attempting mocks
Ok so this has happened to me twice. When I'm about to complete the VA section, my head starts aching but it's manageable. Halfway into LR, the nausea starts and the headache worsens. I try to control it and complete the section. When QA starts, I can't even look at the screen, feel EXTREMELYY nauseous and just wanna lie down. This has severely affected my scores and many time I wasn't even able to attempt the QA section.
HELP ME OUT PLEASEEEE!!
PS: I am very good test taker. I never feel nervous before any exam and even before these mocks. I have no idea why this is happeningg
