According to a report in the Times of India, the professor of IIM Ahmedabad, Tathagata Bandopadhyay informed, "Last year, data interpretation (DI) was a part of QA and logical reasoning was part of VRC.

This time, the duration of the examination has also been increased to 180 minutes instead of 170 minutes. He further added, "The reason behind increasing the duration by 10 minutes is to allot equal time (60 minutes) to each section. This year, the students will be given exactly an hour to complete each section. The test will automatically move to the next section once a candidate spends an hour on one segment". In order of selection, the candidates can select the four test cities. The test will be held at 650 centres across 136 cities on the same day in two sessions.

AIPMT 2015: Two muslim students allowed to wear hijab by the HC

The Central Board of Secondary Education has allowed two Muslim girls to wear headscarves and full-sleeved dresses on the day of the AIPMT re-test, according to a directive by the Kerala High Court. . The exam is scheduled to be held on June 25. This decision came after the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat  and two girls wrote a petition on the ban on hijab, as it is culturally unacceptable to go out in public in a different set of clothes.
The decision has been drawn in favour of Asiya Abdul Karim of Ashokapuram in Kozhikode and Nadha Rahim of Olavakkode in Palakkad. The court has, however, instructed women invigilators to be present with the candidates, half an hour prior to the commencement of the exam.
In the petition filed through advocate PK Ibrahim, Asiya had contended that the new dress code would act as a deterrent for pious Muslim girls from opting for Medical courses. The candidates have thus been allowed to wear headscarves and full-sleeve dresses, only if they report early for a body search by women personnel, the petition had stated.
