GPAT entrance test

What the syllabus of the Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude entrance Test because I want to do participate in this entrance test so ask you the syllabus of do participate in this so tell me about this

The Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT 2012) would be conducted under the aegis of National Monitoring Committee, All India Council for Technical Education, New Delhi by The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara.

I am providing you syllabus of that.
