The GPAT 2025 exam was held on May 25, 2025. Shift 1 ran from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and Shift 2 from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM; both shifts have concluded.

GPAT 2025 was administered online as a CBT at centers across India. The GPAT 2025 syllabus focuses on core B.Pharm subjects. The test contains 125 multiple-choice questions and the maximum possible score is 500.

Under the revised exam pattern, each section will have 25 questions and a sectional time limit of 36 minutes. Correct answers earn +4 marks, while each incorrect response carries a -1 penalty.

GPAT 2025 scorecards will remain valid for three years. A provisional answer key will be issued before the final result. If two candidates have identical scores, the candidate with fewer negative marks will be ranked higher; if still tied, the older candidate is given precedence. Seat reservations are 15% for SC, 7.5% for ST, 27% for OBC‑NCL, and 10% for EWS.
