Hello Aspirant!

IPMAT and CLAT are related to two different fields. And it basically depends on your field of interest to decide which one will be better for you.

IPMAT (Integrated Program in Management Aptitude Test) as the name suggests, is a national level entrance exam conducted by IIM, Indore to provide admission to its UG 5-years integrated management programs.
Apart from IIM-Indore, Nirma University which is a renowned b-school, also accepts IIM-Indore IPMAT scores. So, if you want to pursue a 5 years integrated degree in management (BBA+MBA) from IIM, Indore or Nirma University, and develop a career in Management and its related aspects in future, you should aim at cracking IPMAT.

*In 2019, IIM Rohtak has also launched its individual IPMAT.

CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) is also a national level entrance exam, but for providing admission to 22 national law universities (NLUs) in India (except NLU Delhi) , and many other law institutes.
It is for UG law courses like LLB, 5 years Integrated BA+LLB as well as for PG programs like LLM.
If you are considering law as a career, it is worth preparing for CLAT.

I hope this answer will help you.
