Conducted by ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education (IFHE)
IBSAT is the aptitude test conducted by the ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education for admission to the MBA and PGPM programmes at IBS Hyderabad and the other IBS campuses. The paper carries 140 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 120 minutes across Verbal Ability, Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Aptitude and Data Adequacy & Data Interpretation. Questions carry five options rather than the usual four, and there is no negative marking and no sectional timing. IBSAT is regarded as one of the more approachable national MBA entrances — the challenge is volume, at roughly 51 seconds per question.

IBSAT (ICFAI Business School Aptitude Test) follows this pattern:
- Questions: 140
- Total marks: 140
- Duration: 2 hours
- Difficulty: Easy
Crackto mock tests mirror this exactly, so your practice reflects real timing pressure rather than an approximation.
Crackto provides comprehensive analytics for every IBSAT attempt:
- Score trend across attempts, so improvement is visible rather than assumed
- Section-wise breakdown pinpointing which areas cost you marks
- Accuracy versus speed, separating knowledge gaps from time-management gaps
- Percentile and rank against every other IBSAT aspirant on the same paper
- Question-level time tracking to expose the questions that quietly drain your clock
Yes, absolutely. Retake any IBSAT mock test as often as you like — retakes are not limited or charged separately.
Each attempt is stored on its own, so your analytics show the trend across attempts instead of overwriting your earlier score. Retaking a paper after reviewing its solutions is one of the most reliable ways to convert a weak section into a strong one.
IBSAT, formally ICFAI Business School Aptitude Test, is conducted by ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education (IFHE).
Official notifications, application dates and results are published on the conducting body's own website: https://www.ibsindia.org/ibsat. Always confirm dates and eligibility there — Crackto is a preparation platform, not the conducting authority.
The eligibility requirements recorded for IBSAT are:
- Qualification: A bachelor's degree of minimum three years' duration from a recognised university with at least 50% aggregate marks, with English as the medium of instruction. Final-year students may apply provisionally. There is no upper age limit.
Age relaxations commonly apply to reserved categories. Check the official notification for the exact relaxation that applies to you before applying.
IBSAT is available in English.
Where a Crackto mock test is offered in more than one language, you can pick your language before starting the paper — practising in the language you will actually sit the exam in matters more than most candidates expect.
Crackto mirrors the official marking scheme of IBSAT rather than applying a single blanket rule, so if the real paper penalises wrong answers, the mock does too.
The exact scheme for any given paper — marks per correct answer and the penalty for a wrong one — is displayed on that test's page before you begin, and again in your results breakdown afterwards.
The IBSAT syllabus is defined by the conducting body and published with each notification.
Crackto mock tests are mapped to it section by section, so after a few attempts your analytics show which areas you have genuinely covered and which need work.
