Dear student, If you are doing your final year in BTech Pharmaceutical Technology and looking forward to attending NIPER institutes for admission to postgraduate-level courses like MBA Pharm or MTech Pharm, then the GPAT exam is mandatory. Generally, MBA Pharm/ MS Pharm/ M.Pharm admissions to NIPER colleges are based on combined merit in the common entrance exam (85%) followed by Group discussion (15%).

NIPER uses the GPAT result to determine admission to different pharmacy courses. For some programs, NIPER administers its own entrance exam (NIPER JEE exam); nonetheless, GPAT is typically the main criterion. The detailed admissions criteria …

Dear Student,

Agar aap ka GATE score 530 hain, to NIT Durgapur, IIIT Bihar aur IITDM Kurnool mein Data Science & Artificial Intelligence course ke liye admission mil sakta hain. Agar aap OPEN Category se belong karte hain, toh NIT Durgapur mein aap ko shayad admission na mile, but OBC-NCL/ EWS ategory mein admission mil sakti hain. Aap doosre NIT colleges accepting GATE score 500-600 bhi check kar sakte hain. Unfortunately, GATE score 530 pe aap ko kisi bhi IIT mein admission nahi milegi. 

We hope this answers your query. Good luck!
