GPAT Counselling 2024: Check Counselling Process & Documents Required

GPAT Counselling 2024: The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) every year to provide admission into the M.Pharm programme. After the successful completion of the examination, NTA releases the final GPAT result and cutoff on its official website. Candidates who have secured marks equal to or more than the cutoff, are eligible to appear for the GPAT counselling round.

Candidates must note that even though NTA is the exam conducting body for the GPAT Exam 2024, it does not conduct the counselling round. Instead, the participating institutes conduct the counselling round after releasing their own individual cutoff lists. The total number of seats available at different institutes and their cutoff lists are bound to vary. Read More: GPAT Cut Off 2024

GPAT full form is Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test. It is an annual national-level examination for entry into Pharmacy (PG) courses.
