Last year, GPAT cutoff was 148, 122, 120, 94 and 75 for General, EWS, OBC, SC, and ST category candidates. However, this year's GPAT cutoff will depend on several factors such as the difficulty level & number of students who appeared in the entrance exam. Students will be able to take admission on first come first serve basis. If the number of GPAT applicants increases, competition would also get tougher, and the cutoff will soar higher.
NBEMS the official exam conducting body is the responsible authority to release the GPAT cutoff at the official website. The GPAT cutoff will also be released by the participating institutes that accept GPAT scores. NBEMS doesn't conduct the counselling for M.Pharma admissions. It will be responsible for releasing the merit list of GPAT 2025 along with the result mentioning the status of qualifying, name of candidates.
