First and foremost important work is applying for PAN in name of Partnership Firm. Yes, partnership firm has a different PAN number and it is mandatory to apply for same. You can refer to TIN-NSDL website or contact them to know what documents are required for getting PAN.
Once PAN card is received, you will have to open a current account in name of Partnership Firm.
Only after this 2 things are done, you can go ahead with GST registration because Current account details and PAN of partnership Firm is mandatory for GST Registration.
