By calculating the marks for correct answers and subtracting the penalty for wrong ones, students can derive their predicted GPAT 2026 score.

GPAT 2026 Answer Key

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) is set to publish the GPAT 2026 Answer Key on its official website, natboard.edu.in. Following the conclusion of the Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) on March 7, 2026, this key serves as the first official document for candidates to verify their performance. Along with the answer key, the board will also provide access to the individual response sheets and the official question paper.

The answer key is the official list of correct answers for all 125 questions featured in the exam. It is released in two phases: Provisional (open for challenges) and Final (used for result calculation).

What Should Students Do With GPAT 2026 Answer Key?

Students use the answer key to match the official answers against their own recorded responses. This process helps them:

  • Estimate Probable Scores: Using the official marking scheme.
  • Identify Discrepancies: If a student believes an official answer is incorrect, they can raise an objection through the challenge portal by paying a non-refundable fee of ₹200 per question.

GPAT 2026 Marking Scheme for Score Estimation

Candidates must follow the official marking scheme provided by NBEMS. For every correct response identified by comparing the response sheet with the answer key, the student should add 4 marks to their total. However, the exam incorporates negative marking, meaning that for every incorrect answer, a penalty of 1 mark is deducted. Questions that were left unattempted or marked for review do not attract any marks, and zero marks are assigned to them. By totaling the marks for correct answers and subtracting the penalty for wrong ones, students can derive their predicted GPAT 2026 score.
