Divyesh Patat GPAT Success Story: How PW Guided Him to Secure AIR 529

Divyesh Patat, a final-year B.Pharm student from BK Modi Government Pharmacy College, Rajkot, secured AIR 529 in GPAT 2026 with 252 marks. Originally from Talala, Gir Somnath, Gujarat, Divyesh prepared for GPAT while regularly attending college.

He started his preparation after learning about GPAT in his third year and joined the PW GPAT Batch 2.0. His preparation was built around regular classes, revision, MCQ practice, PYQs, and a disciplined daily routine.

Divyesh Started His GPAT Preparation After Learning About the Exam

Divyesh did not know about GPAT when he entered B.Pharm. He learned about the examination in his third year and started preparing soon after.

“Sir main first year mein aaya tabhi mere ko to kuch pata hi nahi tha ki aisa kuch hota hai. Second year mein bhi kuch pata nahi tha. Third year mein pata chala ki GPAT aata hai. Phir maine tayari shuru ki July se.”

He joined the PW batch and began preparing seriously. In his earlier attempt, he scored 165 marks and missed qualification by three marks. This experience pushed him to work harder for GPAT 2026.

“Tabhi 165 mark aaye the. Main teen marks se reh gaya tha.”

PW GPAT Batch 2.0 Became Part of Divyesh’s Consistent Preparation

Divyesh joined the PW GPAT Batch 2.0 and maintained regularity throughout his preparation. He attended the lectures and continued with the study plan without taking long breaks.

“January mein aapka batch class hua tha na, PW mein. Aapka pehla din mera bhi pehla din tha. Tabhi se maine tayari shuru ki thi.”

His consistency became one of the defining parts of his preparation. He also credited his teachers for introducing him to GPAT and helping him understand the opportunities associated with the examination.

“Sir pehle to main mere parents ka dhanyavaad kehna chahta hoon, doosra mere teacher ka aur teesra main mere khud ki self ka dhanyavaad karna chahe to.”

Divyesh Followed a Strict 5 AM to 11 PM Routine

Divyesh followed a fixed schedule while managing regular college attendance. He woke up at 5 AM and studied before leaving for college. After college, he attended lectures and practised MCQs.

“Sir pehle mere 10:30 se 6 ka college tha. 6 baje tak to wo poora attend karna hota hai. Hum phir 6 baje aata tha main aur phir thoda fresh hota tha. Phir lecture hote the 7:00 baje se 7 se 10 baje tak lecture dekhta tha main. Phir ek ghanta MCQ practice karta tha.”

He used the morning hours for revision and also kept weekends for revising the week’s work.

“Sir subah main 5 baje uthta tha. Uske 8 baje tak padhta tha. Phir main fresh hota tha, nahana tha, nashta karta tha.”

Divyesh Used PW Books, PYQs and Thousands of MCQs

Divyesh followed PW books and class notes during his preparation. He also solved previous-year questions from 1998 to 2025 and practised a large number of MCQs.

“Sir maine aapki book hi follow ki thi, bahut achhi book hai. Bahut bahut dono book ismein se kiya tha maine. Pharmacology ke first book na, ki book hai wo follow ki thi aur Chemistry ke liye wo class notes sir class mein padhaye the na, wahi sab follow kiya.”

His practice extended beyond the regular study material. He solved thousands of MCQs to become more comfortable with different question types.

“Sir maine saare PYQ solve kiye the 98 ke GPAT se 2025 tak GPAT ke aur maine around 30,000 to 40,000 MCQ solve kiye the.”

He also used technology to create additional practice questions and asked ChatGPT to generate MCQs for him.

“Main ChatGPT ko bolta tha ki mere ko MCQ bana ke de. Wo MCQ bana ke deta tha, main solve karta tha.”

Divyesh Revised the Week’s Preparation Every Weekend

Along with daily revision, Divyesh used his college holidays to revise the topics covered during the week. This helped him stay connected with previously studied topics while continuing with new lectures.

“Phir subah uthke jo doosre din padhaya, uska revision karne ka. Wahi aur Shani, Ravi, Monday ko mere ko chhutti hoti thi college mein to poora revision karne ka is week ka.”

He also used his handwritten notes and PW books for revision. This regular cycle of lectures, MCQ practice, and revision helped him maintain continuity throughout the preparation.

Divyesh Stayed Away From Social Media During His Preparation

Divyesh made a conscious decision to avoid social media while preparing for GPAT. He used YouTube and WhatsApp but did not maintain accounts on other social media applications.

“Bilkul chhod diya tha.”

When asked how he managed it, he explained:

“Main social media use hi nahi karta. Sirf YouTube ke sivay koi application main use hi nahi karta, YouTube aur WhatsApp ke siva.”

This helped him protect his study time and avoid distractions during a preparation period that he considered important.

Divyesh Stayed Consistent Without Taking Breaks

Divyesh did not allow functions or other activities to interrupt his preparation. He said that he continued from the beginning until the end without taking a break from his study plan.

“Nahi sir, aisa hua hi nahi. Maine jab se shuru kiya tab se khatam kiya. Ek bhi din koi nahi, waisa kuch function attend hi nahi karne ka.”

He also accepted that this required sacrifices during his preparation.

“Nahi, matlab saari cheezon ka sacrifice kar diya. Yes sir.”

This consistency helped him maintain the momentum needed for GPAT preparation alongside college.

Divyesh Secured AIR 529 in GPAT 2026 With 252 Marks

Divyesh's preparation resulted in AIR 529 in GPAT 2026. He initially saw 258 marks in the answer sheet, but after corrections, his final score was 252 marks.

“Tab mera first mere dost ne bataya tha result result aa gaya. Tab wo pehle mark aa jaate hain na answer sheet mein, usmein 258 mark aaye the. Usmein jyada galti thi, ab 252 aaye, main select ho gaya.”

His college teachers had also expected him to perform well, and his result gave him an opportunity to move towards his next goal.

Divyesh’s Advice Is to Prepare Consistently

Divyesh believes students should avoid preparing in short, disconnected phases. According to him, consistency is important for retaining what has been studied.

“Aur doosra wo bhi tayari kar raha hai wo consistently kare. Nahin, tukdon mein na kare to phir wo sab bhool jayega, phir kuch nahi rahega, uski mehnat bhi jaayegi.”

He also advised students to stay focused while studying instead of switching to social media, matches, or unrelated videos.

“Jo bhi kare wo dil se kare, wo dhyan se kare. Lecture dekh raha hai to sirf lecture hi dekhe, nahi wo Instagram dekhne chale jaaye ya koi match dekhne chala jaaye ya YouTube mein kuch aur dekh raha hai, usse kuch nahi hota, time hi waste hota hai.”

For Divyesh, disciplined preparation, regular revision, extensive MCQ practice, and consistency were key parts of his GPAT journey.
