National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the date to challenge the answer key of the Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) and now candidates have time till 11 March (Thursday) to submit their objections.

If any candidate who appeared in the aptitude test has any objection against the answer keys published by the testing body, they must visit the official site of NTA GPAT at gpat.nta.nic.in and file their challenge.

According to a report by India Today, NTA decided to extend the date after considering that some candidates were not able to file objections due to some technical problems. Now, candidates can access the answer key along with the question papers on the official portal till 11.50 pm on 11 March.
