How did your IPM AT IIM Rohtak go?

Below is the experience of an IIM Rohtak student who did his IPMAT during covid. 

It was always going to be difficult to conduct a fair online exam in this day and age, but IIM Rohtak took the exam to an all-time low. The following are the highlights of the exam:

The online exam was conducted in an 'open book' format, using Google Forms and no effort was made to proctor the exam - which means students could have their friends and family assist them using Google, WhatsApp, Zoom, and any other technology they could think of. After 45 minutes, the form would not even submit itself. To pass the test, the student had to maintain their integrity.

Every student had the same paper, in the same order. It's no surprise that within minutes of the exam starting, WhatsApp and Facebook groups were flooded with questions and answers. Most students are required to submit answers that they have simply copied from the internet.

Some of the questions were difficult to answer. This is especially true when the paper setters fail to include the accompanying diagram to logical reasoning questions.
