Key moments

The Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) 2026 results have been released by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on April 7, 2026. This year, a total of 5,362 candidates successfully qualified for the exam, which was conducted on March 7, 2026.

Out of 53,617 candidates who appeared for the GPAT 2026, the results indicate a significant achievement for those who met the qualifying criteria. The GPAT scorecard, which is valid for three years, is essential for candidates seeking admission into postgraduate pharmacy programs across India.

The minimum qualifying score for candidates in the General and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) was set at the 50th percentile, while for candidates in the Other Backward Classes (OBC), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Scheduled Tribes (ST), the minimum was 45th percentile. This categorization ensures that the evaluation process is equitable and considers the diverse backgrounds of the candidates.

The GPAT 2026 cut-off scores have been announced, with the cut-off for General candidates at 96.258, OBC-NCL at 90.08, SC at 76.47, and ST at 57.39. These cut-off scores reflect the competitive nature of the examination and the performance of the candidates.

Candidates can download their GPAT rank cards from the official website, natboard.edu.in. The result notice includes important details such as the candidate’s name, roll number, and qualifying status, which are crucial for further admission processes.

For those interested in reviewing their performance, the final answer keys will be made available on or after April 15, 2026. This allows candidates to verify their answers and understand their performance relative to the cut-off scores.

In the event of candidates achieving the same score, tie-breaking criteria will be applied to determine their ranks. This ensures a fair assessment and ranking of candidates who may have performed similarly in the examination.

The GPAT 2026 was conducted in a computer-based mode, reflecting the modern approach to examinations and providing a streamlined experience for candidates. As the education sector continues to evolve, such assessments play a critical role in shaping the future of pharmacy education in India.
