GPAT is the national-level pharmacy aptitude examination used by participating institutions for M.Pharm admission and related benefits under applicable rules.
What this exam or admission route is
A GPAT score does not by itself submit an M.Pharm college application. Candidates must separately apply for counselling or admission at the institution/state accepting the score.
Who can apply
The current bulletin defines the permitted B.Pharm qualification, final-year provisions, nationality and documentary conditions. Candidates with non-B.Pharm degrees should not assume eligibility.
