HEY THERE!!!

• Having henna (mehendi) marks on your hand is not usually an issue for the IPMAT exam. Official IPMAT exam day guidelines do not explicitly state a prohibition on henna or mehendi. In other such national-level tests, it is not an issue unless the marks are so large that they hinder biometric authentication or cause suspicion of using unfair means.
• If your henna is light or nearly washed off, you will not have any issue.
• In the case of heavily regulated tests such as NEET, henna is avoided, but the guidelines of IPMAT are not quite as strict on this.
• Where possible, attempt to wash as much as possible off, particularly from your fingertips, as biometric scanning (such as fingerprint scanning) could be used.

In conclusion:

Light henna stains are normally acceptable for IPMAT. Just make sure your fingers are as clean as possible for identification purposes or biometric verification, and you should be permitted to sit the exam
