Syllabus Comparison: GATE (XL/BT) vs

GPAT
GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) and GPAT (Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude
Test) are competitive exams for higher studies and research positions in India. Though both
may be attempted by pharmacy/life sciences students, they have significantly different
syllabi and objectives.

Subject Area GPAT GATE (XL/BT)

Pharmaceutics Extensively covered Not included

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Detailed coverage Partially in GATE CY


(including medicinal
chemistry)

Pharmacology Major portion Only basic topics, if any

Pharmacognosy Significant portion Not covered

Biochemistry Core subject Included in XL-S & BT

Microbiology Basic topics In-depth in GATE XL-S & BT

Biotechnology Moderately covered Extensively covered in BT


paper

Cell and Molecular Biology Partially covered Major focus in BT & XL-S

Organic Chemistry Well covered Covered in CY & XL-C

Physical Chemistry Fundamental concepts only Detailed in CY

Mathematics/Reasoning Basic numerical ability General aptitude (15%)

Engineering Mathematics Not applicable Only in GATE BT

In conclusion, GPAT is focused on core pharmaceutical sciences, while GATE (especially XL


and BT) focuses on life sciences and engineering principles. Candidates preparing for both
must align their preparation strategies accordingly, recognizing the 30–40% overlapping
content.
