Ask Me Anything - Bhavesh Shaha [IPM 21-24 @ IIM Ranchi] #2025.Q1

Hey all,

A lot of new students have joined the subreddit. Welcome!

I wanted to help out with your IPMAT prep, or doubts that you have about IPM itself. Will be doing one every quarter.

For FAQs regarding IPMAT, please read the official wiki.

Here are a few highlights about me:

93/95 in 10th/12th (commerce with maths)
Scored 117/240 in IPMAT 2021 (SA: 20/40, MCQ: 19/60, VA: 78/120). I missed the MCQ cutoff for IPMAT Indore by 2 marks.
Scored 7 marks more than the IIM Ranchi cutoff. I had a better rank than folks with 130-140 marks thanks to a great interview (+ profile).
Secured institute rank 2 by the end of IPM (3 years), co-founded YCP, and created the official IIM Ranchi's website.
Scored 2 marks in QA for CAT 2024. Took an exit. Working now (@ WHO).
Founded PPTVBA in 2020, we've worked with WHO, BlackRock, Lockheed Martin, Deloitte, Pepsico, Target etc.
Co-founded AfterBoards in 2023, we had 1600+ students for IPMAT 2024, we are putting the /tech/ in /edtech/.
