Admission Eligibility

Pass in B.Pharm degree of RGUHS / B.Pharm from any recognised Board or Council recognised as Equivalent by RGUHS and approved by AIU (Association of Indian Universities) with not less than 50% of the maximum marks (aggregate of 4 years in B.Pharm).

Academic Focus

Specialisations in Pharmacy deal with specific aspects of scientific knowledge that include design, fabrication, and evaluation of drug delivery systems.

For effective design, fabrication, and evaluation of drug delivery systems, it requires a knowledge in a number of areas such as the chemical sciences, biological sciences, and mathematics. Post Graduate programmes in pharmaceutics frequently include academics from other departments such as chemistry, materials science, engineering, biochemistry, medical science, and mathematics.
