Indeed, there are no limitations on the number of times a candidate may take the GPAT admission exam. There is, nevertheless, a younger age requirement to take the test. Only applicants who are at least 17 years old may submit an application for the GPAT exam. Typically, the application procedure for GPAT 2024 lasts for 30 days. The official NTA-GPAT admission portal will host the online registration for the GPAT 2024. In order to apply for the MPharma course, you must register for the exam.
