Completed your B.Sc degree and want to pursue M.Pharm now? Many of you must be wondering if you could sit for the GPAT exam. Unfortunately, students with a B.Sc background are not eligible for GPAT (Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test) since you need a B.Pharm degree for that. This is because to get a higher degree in M.Pharm, you must be familiar with core Pharmacy topics and GPAT tests your knowledge on Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics etc. A B.Sc degree does not explicitly cover all these; the course curriculum is rather aligned with Chemsitry and Biology topics, which do not match GPAT 2026 syllabus criteria.
