Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University

Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University is a state government university in south Delhi devoted entirely to pharmacy and allied health sciences — an unusual degree of focus that grew out of the capital's long-running Delhi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research. Because the whole institution is organised around one field, students in its bachelor's, master's and doctoral pharmacy programmes work in an environment where faculty, labs and industry connections all point the same way. It holds an A grade from NAAC and a NIRF rank of 41. Delhi's concentration of regulators, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies makes internships and placements easier to reach than from most pharmacy colleges. Fees are at public-university levels. It suits students committed to pharmacy as a career who want a specialised government institution rather than a pharmacy department inside a general university.
