The format has to match exactly.
Both of these work: 
S.textdata = '20-Nov-18 12:00:00 PM GMT';
d1 = datetime(S.textdata(1:end-4), 'InputFormat', 'dd-MM-yy hh:mm:ss a', 'TimeZone', 'UTC')
d2 = datetime(S.textdata, 'InputFormat', 'dd-MM-yy hh:mm:ss a ''GMT''', 'TimeZone', 'UTC')
producing: 
d1 = 
  datetime
   20-Nov-2018 12:00:00
d2 = 
  datetime
   20-Nov-2018 12:00:00
Experiment to get the result you want.
