The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has officially announced the results for the Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) 2026, which took place on March 7, 2026. This examination was conducted in a computer-based format across various centers throughout India, allowing a wide range of candidates to participate.
The GPAT results are crucial for candidates seeking admission into Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) programs, as well as for those applying for scholarships and PhD opportunities in pharmacy institutions across the country. These results are aligned with the standards set forth by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), ensuring that the admissions process is both fair and competitive.
How to Access Your GPAT 2026 Results
Candidates can conveniently access their GPAT 2026 results online via the NBEMS portal. It is important to note that results will only be available in digital format, and candidates will not receive individual notifications. To check your results, follow these steps:

Qualifying Criteria and Merit Rankings
According to the guidelines outlined in Clause 10.8 of the GPAT 2026 information bulletin, candidates must meet specific percentile and merit-based criteria to be declared qualified. The minimum qualifying percentile varies by category, emphasizing the need for candidates to understand their respective benchmarks.
This year, a total of 5,362 candidates out of 53,617 test-takers have qualified, reflecting the competitive nature of the examination. Candidates are required to not only achieve the minimum percentile but also rank within the top 10% of all participants to secure their qualification.
Final Answer Key and Result Computation
Following a review process initiated due to candidate objections regarding the provisional answer key released on March 13, 2026, NBEMS has made significant revisions. Subject experts were consulted to ensure accuracy in the final answer key, which has been utilized for the computation of results.
Candidates will have access to the post-challenge question paper and the final answer keys starting from April 15, 2026, through their applicant login on the official NBEMS website. This transparency allows candidates to understand the basis of their scores better.
Next Steps for Qualified Candidates
With the results now available, qualified candidates can begin the process of applying for MPharm admissions and scholarships. Institutions and authorities will utilize GPAT scores to formulate admission lists and establish cut-off marks. Therefore, it is essential for candidates to stay informed about the admission timelines and procedures.
NBEMS encourages all candidates to regularly check their official portal for updates regarding scorecards, counseling processes, and institutional admission schedules.
