Delhi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research considers GPAT scores for admission to MPharm programme. However, it is not mandatory to have GPAT score. Aspirants are also allotted seat based on their qualifying exam marks. However, the first preference is given to GPAT-qualified candidates. For MPharm, 15% of the total seats are filled by non-Delhi aspirants with a valid GPAT score. Rest 85% is filled by graduates passed out from Delhi colleges/ universities with a valid GPAT score.

No, GPAT scores are not compulsory to get admission into the MPharm course at Poona College of Pharmacy. Because the college also accepts relevant BV-PHARMPG scores. Therefore, candidates with scores in any of the entrance exams from these two can get admission into the MPharm course. Thus, GPAT is one of the accepted entrance exams for admission to the MPharm course. However, it is not compulsory.

 The approximate subject-wise weightage in GPAT is as follows:

  • Pharmacology – 25–30 questions

  • Pharmaceutics – 20–25 questions

  • Pharmaceutical Chemistry – 15–20 questions

  • Pharmacognosy – 10–15 questions

Other subjects (Biochemistry, Microbiology, etc.) – 10–15 questions
This distribution may vary slightly year to year, but the core subjects consistently have the highest weightage.
