Editor's Note

The Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) is a gateway to advanced pharmaceutical education, yet it is a reflection of the broader challenges in entrance-based assessments. While standardised testing plays an essential role in evaluating candidates' capabilities, it also brings significant pressure and logistical hurdles. As NBEMS releases the admit cards, students must not only focus on academic preparation but also remain vigilant about procedural requirements to avoid unnecessary setbacks. Moreover, the increasing reliance on competitive examinations underscores the need for a more inclusive and adaptive education system that balances meritocracy with accessibility. 

Skoobuzz emphasises that as higher education in India continues to evolve, reforms in entrance examinations should aim to reduce stress and enhance opportunities for all aspiring professionals.
