3. GPAT 2025 Final Answer Key – How It Evolved
The provisional answer key was released earlier after the exam concluded, offering candidates a chance to review and raise objections. After a three-day objection window where incorrect entries were challenged, NBEMS released the final answer key. It plays a crucial role in accurately determining your official score.
Coaching institutes also released memory-based keys immediately after the exam. While handy for quick checks, the NBEMS final key is the final word on official scores.
4. GPAT 2025 Exam Difficulty & Trends
According to post-exam feedback and expert analysis:
-
Difficulty level: Moderate.
-
Mix of direct, one-liner questions and topic-based items.

Roughly 10–15 questions were simple and direct.
-
Remaining questions tested deeper conceptual knowledge in areas like pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and biopharmaceutics.
This trend helped balance the exam, making it fair and manageable for well-prepared candidates.
