                                              Summary

 No Need to panic there are only 15-17% completely new topic in syllabus

Questions have been asked in past on each and every 85-87% Topics of New Syllabus in Gate

E.g. 5 Questions have been asked from Pharma Engineering topic in GATE-2005, despite of the fact that Pharma Engineering is no were mentioned in GATE syllabus in detail

Previous Syllabus of GATE was encompassing all the subjects of pharmaceutical Sciences in 8-9 Big buckets

There was a strong need from long back to mention the GATE Syllabus in detail, sooner or later it was going to happen in the interest of students

New Syllabus is mere a formality to put all what we read in 4 years of B-Pharm Course, questions were asked in past keeping in mind the 4 years pharma course only

Only 15-17% New syllabus is added, which is a result of difference in various B-Pharm syllabus of different university across the nation

We have analysed syllabus of all the universities running B-Pharm Course and validated the inference above

It’s very obvious that what we say as completely new topic may be a known topic for other university student, but we have done our best efforts to mention all possible points from where no questions have been asked in past GATE

We have mentioned Books to refer in [BLUE]

We have highlighted (Most Important Topic)

We have mentioned all the completely new topic in RED
