NIPER JEE Chemistry Syllabus: Important Topics and Subjects

About NIPER Chemistry Syllabus

The NIPER syllabus for Chemistry is released every year by its administering authority, i.e., the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Guwahati. For admission to MTech (Pharm), MBA (Pharm), MS (Pharm), M Pharm, and PhD programs (Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences disciplines), NIPER administers the Joint Entrance Examination (NIPER JEE). As soon as officials make the NIPER JEE syllabus and exam pattern available for a respective year, those who wish to sit for the examination must review it. Only those students who pass the written exam and achieve a score higher than the officials' set NIPER JEE cut-off will be considered for admission. For a better understanding of the test format and style, students may consult the NIPER JEE exam pattern. Applicants might improve their preparation plan by being familiar with the exam pattern.

The NIPER JEE 2025 examination will exclusively be conducted in English in offline mode for two hours, calculating a total score of 200 marks. The objective of the Chemistry NIPER syllabus is to assess the test taker's proficiency in various courses that the institution offers at various academic levels. This NIPER Chemistry syllabus will serve as the basis for the question paper that the appropriate officials will develop. As the test includes a negative scoring method, applicants who wish to perform exceptionally well on it must excel in all exam components. On this page, we will focus exclusively on the NIPER syllabus for Chemistry.
