It’s important to note that the list of universities affiliated with the GAT may undergo alterations over time. Therefore, before submitting your application, it’s advisable to verify with the respective university whether they administer their own admission examinations. In many cases, these university-specific exams follow a format similar to the GAT but may be comparatively less challenging.
