GPAT 2026 scorecards and final answer keys will be available for download from April 15, 2026, on the NBEMS website through applicant login.

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced that GPAT 2026 scorecards and final answer keys are available for download from April 15, 2026, onwards. Candidates who appeared in the exam can access these documents through their applicant login on the official NBEMS website at natboard.edu.in.
The final answer keys have been prepared after examining all challenges and objections raised by candidates to the provisional answer keys released on March 13, 2026. Scorecards will remain available for download for six months only, after which requests will be summarily rejected.
GPAT 2026 was conducted on March 7, 2026, across the country on a computer-based platform with 53,617 candidates appearing for the exam. A total of 5,362 candidates (10% of total appeared) have been declared qualified based on category-wise cut-off scores and percentiles approved by the Pharmacy Council of India.
The final answer keys incorporate expert reviews and candidate challenges, ensuring accuracy and fairness in the evaluation process. Candidates must download their scorecards within the six-month validity window as NBEMS does not provide scorecards via email or post.
