The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the Joint Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test (JIPMAT) for admissions to the 5-year Integrated Programme in Management (BBA + MBA) at IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu. Candidates who appear for this entrance exam must meet the JIPMAT cutoff to be considered for admission. Both the IIMs specified the JIPMAT sectional cutoff 2026, which is a minimum qualifying percentile or score to be considered for admission. The actual JIPMAT 2026 cutoff is generally higher than the section-wise cutoff.
IIM Bodh Gaya released section-wise JIPMAT 2026 cutoff scores as well as type-wise total scores for admission cycle 2026-31. Candidates were shortlisted for admission based on the type-wise JIPMAT 2026 cutoff for IIM Bodh Gaya. Type-I category candidates are the ones who have been given a confirmed offer and asked to deposit EoI Fee and Acceptance Fee.
Similarly, Type II candidates have been put on the waitlist after paying the EoI fee. Type II candidates get an offer in case seats remain vacant. Meanwhile, the Type III candidates are the ones who have cleared the sectional cutoff but have not been put on the waitlist. The JIPMAT 2026 section-wise cutoff and type-wise cutoff have been given in the table below:

IIM Jammu publishes JIPMAT sectional cutoff to shortlist candidates for the merit list. Candidates must clear the JIPMAT section-wise cutoff to be eligible for the admission process. The merit list is then prepared by giving 70% weightage to JIPMAT percentile and 15% weightage to Class 10 and 12 marks each. IIM Jammu does not publish the actual cutoff scores on its website. According to the JIPMAT 2026 cutoff for IIM Jammu, general category candidates had to score at least 50 percentile each in QA, DI and VA. The detailed JIPMAT 2026 cutoff for IIM Jammu has been given below:
Category | QA | DI | VA |
General | 50 | 50 | 50 |
EWS | 35 | 35 | 35 |

SC | 30 | 30 | 30 |

To understand the difficulty level and chances of admission through JIPMAT, candidates can compare cutoffs of a few previous sessions. Since IIM Jammu only publishes sectional cutoffs and percentiles, not enough data is available for comparison with previous sessions. The IIM Jammu JIPMAT sectional cutoff was the same in the last two sessions.
Talking of the IIM Bodh Gaya JIPMAT cutoff, 2026 was a slightly easier admission year compared to 2025. The JIPMAT 2026 cutoff for the General category for Type I candidates was 328, while the same was 333 in 2025. The JIPMAT 2026 cutoff was less competitive for all categories, compared to the previous year. The table below shows JIPMAT cutoff comparison for the last two years.
Category | 2025 | 2026 | Change |
General | 333 | 328 | −5 |
EWS | 300 | 295 | −5 |

SC | 235 | 230 | −5 |
ST | 190 | 190 | 0 |
Both IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu accept JIPMAT scores for admissions to their IPM course. IIM Bodh Gaya sorts candidates clearing sectional cutoffs into three categories: Type I, II and III.
