Hello,

Yes, as per the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) guidelines , the GPAT score is generally valid for one year for admission and stipend eligibility. Here’s why you may not be receiving the stipend:

1. One-Year Validity : GPAT 2023 was valid for admissions in 2023-24. Since you took admission in 2024, your score might have expired.
2. Admission Year Requirement : To be eligible for the PCI stipend, you usually need to take admission in the same academic year as your GPAT qualification.
3. Solution : Contact PCI or your institution for clarification or appeal.

Hope you find it useful !
