Candidates who have not qualified or appeared for GPAT can get admission in LM College of Pharmacy MPharm, by applying through the Gujarat PGCET, which is conducted for admission to vacant MPharm seats after GPAT-qualified candidates are considered.

Statistically, it is extremely difficult. Because GPAT-qualified candidates are granted absolute preference and occupy the top of the provisional merit list, high-demand branches like Pharmaceutics and Pharma Technology are usually filled completely by GPAT rankers during Round 1.

If candidates have prepared well for GPAT, they will generally find the Gujarat PGCET paper much easier.
