It is designed for graduates holding a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) degree and aims to provide in-depth knowledge and advanced skills in the formulation, development, manufacturing, and evaluation of pharmaceutical dosage forms.
This program emphasizes both theoretical foundations and practical expertise in drug delivery systems, pharmacokinetics, biopharmaceutics, industrial pharmacy, and regulatory affairs, preparing students for careers in research, development, and quality control across the pharmaceutical industry and academia. The curriculum also nurtures innovation and problem-solving through structured research projects and seminars, encouraging students to engage in the development of novel drug delivery technologies.
Vision & Mission
Eligibility
The candidate must have passed Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) from an institution approved by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) with at least 55% marks (aggregate) in the B.Pharm degree (5% relaxation may be given to SC/ST/OBC/PwD).

Career Path
Graduates of M.Pharm in Pharmaceutics have a wide array of career opportunities both in India and abroad, spanning across industrial, academic, clinical, and regulatory domains. In India, they can pursue roles such as formulation scientist, production executive, Research and Development (R&D) associate, or quality control analyst in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Growing sectors like pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, and medical devices also offer promising prospects, particularly in drug safety assessment and product lifecycle management. Government job opportunities exist in central and state drug regulatory agencies, public sector undertakings, research institutions like CSIR and ICMR labs, and through exams such as GPAT, NET, UPSC, and State PSCs. Additionally, roles in academia as assistant professors and research officers are accessible to those inclined toward teaching and research. In international markets, especially in countries like the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, and Australia, M.Pharm graduates are in demand across pharmaceutical R&D, clinical trials, formulation development, and regulatory science. Opportunities in global pharmacovigilance, medical device regulation, and manufacturing compliance [Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/ Good Domestic Product (GDP)] are particularly strong, and graduates may also pursue PhD or postdoctoral research in top universities. Many multinational companies offer roles in global product development, regulatory documentation, and drug delivery innovation. Overall, M.Pharm in Pharmaceutics equips students with versatile competencies to thrive in the evolving pharmaceutical landscape globally.
