Is pharm d student eligibil to write niper entrance for Phd? Do we have to write gpat exam to be eligible?
Dear Nausheen, NIPER is an entrance examination for admission into Post Graduate and Doctoral level courses in the field of Pharmacy. Admission to courses like M.Tech (Pharmacy), MS (Pharmacy), MBA (Pharmacy) will be done on the basis of GPAT score. The qualifying degree should be B.Pharmacy, or M.Sc in Biological Sciences, M.Sc in Organic/Analytical Chemistry/Life Sciences, M.B.B.S, B.V.Sc or BAMS. For Ph.D, the eligibility is that you should have a MS (Pharma), M.Pharmacy/M.Tech in relevant discipline. Unfortunately Pharma D is not an eligibility criteria for NIPER. And you cannot appear for GPAT either because GPAT eligibility criteria says that you need to have a 4 year B.Pharmacy course as your qualification.
