Re: GPAT exam eligibility?

Candidates should be holding bachelor degree in Pharmacy (under 10+2+4 pattern) from any recognized Institute/ University

Candidates appearing for final year examinations of Bachelor degree are also eligible to apply for GPAT 2017

Re: GPAT Exam Eligibility

I will tell you the eligibility criteria to apply for Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) so that you can go through it easily.

Eligibility
Candidates with Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy (4 years after 10+2, including lateral entry candidates) and candidates currently pursuing final year of B. Pharmacy course are ONLY eligible for appearing in GPAT-2016 Examination.

(Candidates pursuing 1st to 3rd year of B. Pharmacy are NOT ELIGIBLE to appear in GPAT-2016 Examination. Any inquiry in this regard will not be entertained.)

Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) 2016 is a national level examination conducted by the All India Council for Technology Education (AICTE) offering admission in post-graduate pharmacy courses. It also awards fellowship/scholarships to pharmacy graduates. GPAT 2016 is a Computer Based Test.

Exam Fees
The fee for General / OBC candidates appearing for GPAT is Rs.1400 + Bank charges as applicable; whereas for Female /SC/ST/PWD category candidates fee is Rs.700 + Bank charges as applicable.

Exam pattern
There will be 125 questions.

The duration of test will be 180 minutes.

For each correct answer there are 4 marks, for each wrong answer 1 mark shall be deducted.
