Yes, students from all academic streams — Science, Commerce, and Arts/Humanities — are eligible to apply for IIM Indore IPM, provided they meet the minimum percentage and age criteria specified in the official notification. There is no restriction based on stream. However, since the IPMAT exam includes a Quantitative Ability section that tests mathematical aptitude up to Class 10–12 level, students from non-mathematics backgrounds must prepare thoroughly in arithmetic, algebra, and logical reasoning topics.
