 How JIPMAT differs from IPMAT Indore at a glance

Same QA arithmetic and modern maths, same VARC scope (minus Additional Grammar Practice), a focused LR subset. Removed entirely: argument-based reasoning (Strong/Weak, Strengthen/Weaken, Fallacy), inference-based reasoning (Fact–Inference–Judgement, Probably True/False, Inferences, Assertion–Reasoning), and the entire higher-mathematics block.
