Eligibility and merit basis
The prospectus requires Indian nationality and a recognised B.Pharm qualification with at least 55% aggregate marks for general-category candidates or 50% for SC/ST candidates. GPAT 2025 or GPAT 2026 candidates are considered first. If seats remain after eligible GPAT candidates are considered, non-GPAT applicants may be considered on B.Pharm merit according to the prospectus.
For the GPAT merit group, the prospectus assigns 30% weight to B.Pharm marks and 70% to the GPAT score. Applicants whose qualifying degree is from another university should also check the Goa University provisional-eligibility and migration-certificate requirements.
Documents to prepare
- Application acknowledgement
- B.Pharm mark sheets for all semesters and degree or passing proof
- GPAT 2025 or 2026 scorecard, when applicable
- Leaving or transfer certificate
- Aadhaar or other accepted identity proof
- Caste, EWS, disability or sponsorship certificates, when claimed
- Goa University provisional eligibility and migration documents, when applicable
- Any additional original listed in the prospectus or requested during compliance
Fees
The prospectus lists an admission fee of ₹2,500 and semester tuition of ₹45,360 for non-sponsored M.Pharm candidates or ₹60,480 for sponsored candidates, in addition to other prescribed charges. Candidates should verify the full payable amount and accepted payment method with the admission centre before reporting.
What happens if the deadline is missed?
An unresolved eligibility or document issue may stop a candidate from being treated as eligible for admission. The prospectus also states that a candidate who does not attend an admission round or does not accept the offered seat forfeits the claim in that round, and the seat may be offered to the next eligible candidate.
