NIPER Hajipur

NIPER Hajipur belongs to the National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, the central government's specialised network for postgraduate pharmacy education, and it is the network's presence in Bihar, located across the Ganga from Patna. It holds a NIRF rank of 42 in the pharmacy rankings. As an institute of national importance in its field, it admits master's and doctoral students through the national NIPER entrance, and its academic focus has leaned towards pharmacy practice and biotechnology within the pharmaceutical sciences. Cohorts are small and research-driven, with most graduates heading into the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies or doctoral study. Hajipur is a modest town, so campus life is quiet and study-centred, with Patna's amenities nearby. It suits pharmacy graduates serious about research or industry careers who want a central-government institution at low fees.
