GPAT 2026 Rank and Tie-Breaking

The GPAT rank reflects a candidate’s overall merit among all exam takers. If two or more candidates obtain the same score, tie-breaking rules specified in the official bulletin are applied. These rules consider relative performance metrics and other predefined evaluation criteria.
