A multi-pole and multi-slot motor control apparatus includes a multi-pole and multi-slot motor including a stator and a rotor rotationally driven by the stator. The stator includes a core accommodating the rotor and winding poles protruding toward the rotor from the core and on which coils are wound, inverters connected to the coils wound around the winding poles and applying currents to the coils, and a controller shutting down the inverter connected to the failed coil or inverter and controlling the remaining inverters in a boost-up manner when at least one of the coils and the inverters is failed. Accordingly, output, which is the same as output before the inverters or the coils are failed through boost-up control of the remaining normal inverters even when the inverters or the coils are partially failed, may be provided, and the multi-pole and multi-slot motor may be stably driven regardless of a failure.
