Hi aspirant,

Entrance tests are typically the major path for M.Pharm admission in India , especially for prestigious colleges and government institutions .

1. The Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) is the most well-known national-level test, administered by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). A high GPAT score is required for admission to prestigious colleges and eligibility for AICTE/PCI scholarships. Many state-level admission exams (such as AP PGECET, TS PGECET, MHT CET, and so on) and university-specific tests (such as NIPER JEE, MET, and Amity admission Test) are also held.
2. However, several private institutions and universities allow direct admission to M.Pharm programs without a GPAT score, generally through "management quota" seats. While these choices provide a road to M.Pharm without GPAT, it is crucial to remember that students admitted this manner may not be eligible for the AICTE scholarship, and tuition may be more.
3. Always examine the unique qualifying criteria and admission process of the college you're interested in .

All the best!
