My pi for rohtak and jipmat are right next to each other and i dont think how to prepare for pi and jipmat at the same time. I dont want to skip one for the other, i wanna attempt both of these oppotunites but i have no clue how to cope with pi and how to work on it. Please help me out with some suggestions on how to balance both jipmat and pi.

Interviews can be scary. It is not. At the end of the day, they're just Indian uncles and aunties: it's like talking to your parents' friends.

Honestly, I think you're overestimating how much PI prep is needed in these last few days and underestimating how important JIPMAT is. Since the PI is on 6th and JIPMAT is on 7th, I would spend roughly 80-90% of my time on JIPMAT and only 10-20% on the interview. Most IIM Rohtak interviews revolve around your introduction, academics, why IPM, why Rohtak, current affairs, hobbies, and basic personal questions. You do not need to spend entire days preparing for it. Make a solid introduction, revise your Class 11-12 subjects, prepare answers to common questions, do 2-3 mock interviews, and you're largely covered.
For JIPMAT, keep your routine unchanged. The biggest mistake right now would be sacrificing a week of preparation for an interview that lasts 10-15 minutes. Also remember that getting the PI call means you've already cleared one stage. Don't treat it like an all-or-nothing event. Focus on maximizing your JIPMAT score because that exam has a much larger impact on your options. If I were in your position, I'd prepare for JIPMAT normally, keep 30-45 minutes daily for PI preparation, attend the interview confidently, and then immediately switch back to JIPMAT mode for the next day's exam.
Hey scraggy, thank you so much for advice. I will try my best to keep that in mind and I'll try not deviate much from jipmat while still keeping some part of my day devotated to interview
