A career in Pharmacy may offer many playbacks and opportunities. I always have a curiosity about Chemistry and Biology and this field is a combination of both. The diversity of career pathway that a Pharmacy course can offer is most fascinating for me to choose this profession.
Gourav Gupta: I started my GPAT preparations in January 2020, when I joined the coaching. COVID-19 lockdown was beneficial for me as I could devote more time on how to prepare for GPAT 2021. In the first few months, I made notes of each subject, in which my coaching teachers helped me a lot, then I started revising topics.
In the beginning, I covered important topics like - Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. After every topic, I used to try MCQs related to that topic. After completion of a particular subject. I used to focus more on doing MCQs after that I keep on revising the GPAT syllabus 2021 and attempted all the test series allotted by my coaching experts. In the last month, I had solved the previous year GPAT question papers to get familiar with the exam pattern.
Gourav Gupta: Yes, I joined Pharma sapience coaching and I would like to give the whole credit for my success to the team of Pharma sapience.
Gourav Gupta: In the initial days, I used to give 5 to 6 hours a day in making notes. In the last months, I gave 11 to 12 hours per day for revising and solving MCQ and as the exam came closer last I paid more attention to the things where I was lagging. Two days before the exam I tried to keep my mind relax for which I slept well and eat good and study only 5 to 6 hours a day.
Gourav Gupta: I got help from the notes provided by Pharma sapience. Besides this, I preferred Inamdar for solving MCQ and standard book for GPAT like Lachman for Pharmaceutics KD Tripathi for Pharmacology.

Gourav Gupta: Unlike the previous year trend, the GPAT exam pattern of questions were different yet easy. I found the Pharmacognosy section easiest, Pharmaceutical Chemistry was average and Pharmacology was moderate this year. There were many questions from Pharmaceutical Analysis which also include numerical problems.
Gourav Gupta: Initially, it was very difficult for me to understand something because the world was completely stopped. When the online classes of Pharmasapience began it was very easy for me to plan my journey.
Gourav Gupta: I think proper planning and dedication never leads to stress. I always tried to have a positive mindset and tried to break a task down into small steps because after that it became easy for me to achieve my goal - GPAT AIR 1 and achievement motivate me besides this I always took a break to get some rest and recharge my mind.
If I talk about my hobbies, I love cooking and dancing so I tried to devote time to my hobbies. I always used to take 8 hours of sleep in a day.
