• Subtract 1 mark for each incorrect MCQ answer
• Count correct Short Answer (SA) responses and add 4 marks each (no penalty for incorrect SA responses)
• Add the scores across all sections for an estimated total

• Log in to the IIM Indore candidate portal using your Application Number and Password

• Upload valid supporting proof (textbook reference, authoritative source, or detailed justification)
• Pay the objection fee of Rs 100 per question online via debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI
• Submit the form and save the confirmation page

Objections submitted after 5:00 PM on May 12, 2026 will not be entertained under any circumstances. The objection fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether the challenge is accepted.
