| Marks – SC / ST / PwD (PwBD) | Minimum 55% aggregate marks in both Class 10 and Class 12. |
| Age Limit | No upper age limit for JIPMAT 2026. However, passing year criteria (Class 10 in 2022+ and Class 12 in 2024/2025/2026) effectively limit applicants to young recent pass-outs. |

✅
Any Stream Students Eligible: Commerce, Arts, and Science students — all can apply for JIPMAT 2026. There is no specific subject requirement. Focus is on Class 10 and Class 12 aggregate percentage.
⚠️
Institute-Specific Rules: The NTA sets the general eligibility for the exam. However, IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya may have additional/different eligibility rules for final IPM admission. Always check both iimjammu.ac.in and iimbg.ac.in individually before applying.

🌿 പരിസ്ഥിതി
ലോക ഭൗമദിനം 2026-ൽ എത്തിനിൽക്കുമ്പോൾ, "നമ്മുടെ ഊർജ്ജം, നമ്മുടെ ഗ്രഹം" (Our Power, Our Planet) എന്ന പ്രമേയം കേവലം ഊർജ്ജ പരിവർത്തനത്തിനപ്പുറം, പ്രാദേശികമായ ഇടപെടലുകളിലൂടെയും കമ്മ്യൂണിറ്റി ഇന്നൊവേഷനിലൂടെയും മാറ്റങ്ങൾ കൊണ്ടുവരാനുള്ള മനുഷ്യന്റെ കർമ്മശേഷിയെയാണ് അടയാളപ്പെടുത്തുന്നത്. ഭരണകൂടങ്ങളുടെ നയരൂപീകരണങ്ങൾക്കായി കാത്തുനിൽക്കാതെ, ഓരോ സമൂഹവും സ്വന്തം നിലയിൽ നടത്തുന്ന പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണ പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളാണ് ഈ വർഷത്തെ പ്രധാന ചർച്ചാവിഷയം.
ആഗോള ഭീഷണികൾ: ഗ്ലോബൽ റിസ്ക് റിപ്പോർട്ട് 2026-ന്റെ ഉൾക്കാഴ്ചകൾ
വേൾഡ് ഇക്കണോമിക് ഫോറം (WEF) പുറത്തുവിട്ട 2026-ലെ റിപ്പോർട്ട് പ്രകാരം വരും ദശാബ്ദത്തിൽ ലോകം നേരിടാൻ പോകുന്ന പത്ത് പ്രധാന വെല്ലുവിളികളിൽ പകുതിയും പരിസ്ഥിതിയുമായി നേരിട്ട് ബന്ധപ്പെട്ടതാണ്.
📸 ആഗോള കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനം – ലോകത്തിന്റെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ വെല്ലുവിളി
01
അതിതീവ്ര കാലാവസ്ഥാ പ്രതിഭാസങ്ങൾ
ആഗോള താപനത്തിന്റെ ഫലമായി അതിശക്തമായ ചുഴലിക്കാറ്റുകൾ, പ്രളയം, കടുത്ത വേനൽ – മനുഷ്യരാശിക്ക് കടുത്ത ഭീഷണി. WEF-ൽ ഒന്നാം സ്ഥാനം.
02
സായുധ പോരാട്ടങ്ങൾ
ഒരു യുദ്ധവിമാനം ഒരു മണിക്കൂർ പറക്കുമ്പോൾ 15 ടൺ CO₂ പുറത്തുവിടുന്നു – നൂറുകണക്കിന് കാറുകളുടെ മാസത്തെ മലിനീകരണത്തിന് തുല്യം.
03
ഭൗമസാമ്പത്തിക സംഘർഷങ്ങൾ
ആഗോള സമ്പദ്വ്യവസ്ഥയുടെ 18% ഭൗമസാമ്പത്തിക സംഘർഷങ്ങൾ ബാധിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. സുസ്ഥിര വികസനത്തിനുള്ള കൂട്ടായ പ്രവർത്തനം തടസ്സപ്പെടുന്നു.
04
സാമൂഹിക ധ്രുവീകരണം
തെറ്റായ വിവരങ്ങളും രാഷ്ട്രീയ അസ്ഥിരതയും പരിസ്ഥിതി നയങ്ങൾ ആഗോളതലത്തിൽ ഏകോപിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനെ പ്രതികൂലമായി ബാധിക്കുന്നു.

ഇന്ത്യൻ പശ്ചാത്തലം: പാരിസ്ഥിതിക അസ്ഥിരത
ഇന്ത്യ ഇന്ന് ലോകത്തെ ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതൽ കാലാവസ്ഥാ ഭീഷണി നേരിടുന്ന രാജ്യങ്ങളിൽ ഒന്നാണ്. 2025-26 വർഷങ്ങളിൽ ഇന്ത്യയിലെ പല നഗരങ്ങളിലും ശരാശരി താപനില 45°C-ന് മുകളിൽ രേഖപ്പെടുത്തി.
ഇന്ത്യ നേരിടുന്ന പ്രധാന വെല്ലുവിളികൾ
- വനനശീകരണം – കാർബൺ ആഗിരണ ശേഷി കുറഞ്ഞ് വരൾച്ചയ്ക്ക് കാരണം
- പ്രതിവർഷം 3.5 ദശലക്ഷം ടൺ പ്ലാസ്റ്റിക് മാലിന്യം
- ജലാശയങ്ങളും കൃഷിഭൂമിയും കടലും ഒരുപോലെ നശിക്കുന്നു
📸 പ്ലാസ്റ്റിക് മലിനീകരണം – ഇന്ത്യ ആഗോള ആശങ്കയ്ക്ക് കാരണം

കേരളം: പ്രകൃതിക്ഷോഭങ്ങളുടെ പ്രഭവകേന്ദ്രം
📸 കേരളം – കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനത്തിന്റെ ഭീകരഫലങ്ങൾ അനുഭവിക്കുന്ന ദേശം
സവിശേഷമായ ഭൂപ്രകൃതിയുള്ള കേരളം കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനത്തിന്റെ (Climate Change) ഭീകരമായ ഫലങ്ങൾ അനുഭവിച്ചു തുടങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്നു. 'ഗ്ലോബൽ ഫോറസ്റ്റ് വാച്ച്' കണക്കുകൾ പ്രകാരം 2001 മുതൽ 2024 വരെയുള്ള കാലയളവിൽ കേരളത്തിന് ഏകദേശം 110 കിലോ ഹെക്ടർ (kha) വനവിസ്തൃതി നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടു. ഇടുക്കി പോലുള്ള ജില്ലകളിൽ ഉണ്ടായ വനനഷ്ടം മണ്ണിടിച്ചിലിന്റെയും ഉരുൾപൊട്ടലിന്റെയും ആക്കം കൂട്ടി.
തണ്ണീർത്തടങ്ങൾ നികത്തുന്നതും അശാസ്ത്രീയമായ നിർമ്മാണ പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളും സ്വാഭാവിക ജലസംഭരണികളെ ഇല്ലാതാക്കി. ഇത് വേനൽക്കാലത്ത് കടുത്ത ജലക്ഷാമത്തിലേക്കും അന്തരീക്ഷ താപനില വർദ്ധനയിലേക്കും നമ്മെ നയിക്കുന്നു.

വിദ്യാഭ്യാസ സ്ഥാപനങ്ങൾ: പരിസ്ഥിതി സാക്ഷരതയുടെ പരീക്ഷണശാലകൾ
📸 ഹരിത വിദ്യാഭ്യാസം – ഭാവിതലമുറ ഭൂമിക്കുവേണ്ടി
പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണം ഒരു വ്യവസ്ഥാപിത പ്രസ്ഥാനമായി (Systematic Movement) വിദ്യാലയങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നാണ് ആരംഭിക്കേണ്ടത്. കേരളത്തിലെ വിദ്യാലയങ്ങൾ ഇതിനോടകം തന്നെ മികച്ച പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങൾ നടത്തുന്നുണ്ടെങ്കിലും അവയെ കൂടുതൽ ശാസ്ത്രീയമായി ഏകോപിപ്പിക്കേണ്ടതുണ്ട്.
🏫 വിദ്യാലയങ്ങൾ ചെയ്യേണ്ടത്
- വിഭവ പരിപാലനവും ഹരിത ഓഡിറ്റിംഗും: വൈദ്യുതിയുടെയും വെള്ളത്തിന്റെയും ഉപഭോഗം കുട്ടികൾ തന്നെ വിലയിരുത്തുന്നത് ഉത്തരവാദിത്തം വളർത്തും.
- അനുഭവവേദ്യമായ പഠനരീതികൾ: സ്കൂൾ പച്ചക്കറിത്തോട്ടങ്ങൾ, ജൈവവൈവിധ്യ നിരീക്ഷണം – കുട്ടികളെ പ്രകൃതിയുമായി ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കാം.
- മാലിന്യമുക്ത ക്യാമ്പസ് മാതൃകകൾ: ഉറവിട മാലിന്യ സംസ്കരണവും പ്ലാസ്റ്റിക് രഹിത ശൈലിയും കർശനമാക്കണം.

പരിഹാരമാർഗ്ഗം: സുസ്ഥിര വികസനവും ഹരിത ഊർജ്ജവും
📸 ഹരിത ഊർജ്ജം – നമ്മുടെ ഭാവിയുടെ അടിത്തറ
ഫോസിൽ ഇന്ധനങ്ങൾ ഒഴിവാക്കി സോളാർ, വിൻഡ് എനർജി പോലുള്ള ഹരിത ഊർജ്ജത്തിലേക്ക് (Green Energy) മാറുന്നത് അന്തരീക്ഷത്തിലെ കാർബൺ അളവ് കുറയ്ക്കാൻ സഹായിക്കും. വരുംതലമുറയുടെ ആവശ്യങ്ങളെ ബലികഴിക്കാതെ ഇന്നത്തെ ആവശ്യങ്ങൾ നിറവേറ്റുന്ന സുസ്ഥിര വികസന രീതിയാണ് (Sustainable Development) കാലഘട്ടം ആവശ്യപ്പെടുന്നത്.
ആഗോളാടിസ്ഥാനത്തിൽ യുദ്ധങ്ങളും പ്ലാസ്റ്റിക് ഉപയോഗവും കുറയ്ക്കേണ്ടത് അനിവാര്യമാണ്. കേരളത്തിന്റെ തനതായ പരിസ്ഥിതി നിലനിർത്താൻ ജനകീയ ഇടപെടലുകൾക്കും കമ്മ്യൂണിറ്റി ഇന്നൊവേഷനുകൾക്കും മാത്രമേ സാധിക്കൂ. ഈ ഭൗമദിനത്തിൽ നമ്മുടെ ഭൂമിക്ക് പുതുജീവൻ നൽകാനായി നമുക്ക് ഒത്തുചേരാം.
