GPAT 2026: Expected Cutoff Scores Revealed
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) is preparing to release the much-awaited Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) 2026 results. The official link will go live on natboard.edu.in, along with the final cutoff marks. While the qualifying percentile often remains consistent year after year, the actual marks required can fluctuate based on the exam’s difficulty and candidate performance.
Based on expert analysis and previous trends, here’s what aspirants can expect. For the General category, a score in the 200-215 range is anticipated to be the cutoff. Meanwhile, candidates from OBC and EWS categories might need between 120-140 marks. The expected cutoff for SC candidates is around 95-110, and for ST candidates, it could be approximately 75-95 marks.
Beyond Qualifying: What’s a Good GPAT Score?
Simply meeting the cutoff is just the first step. Securing a seat in one of India’s premier pharmacy institutes requires a significantly higher score. Admission experts suggest that a score of 250–300+ is often necessary to be competitive for top-tier colleges. It’s crucial to understand the difference between the qualifying percentile and the admission cutoff. The minimum qualifying threshold is the 50th percentile for General/EWS candidates and the 45th percentile for OBC, SC, ST, and PwBD candidates.
