How is NIPER JEE different from GPAT?

NIPER JEE is NIPER's own dedicated entrance exam for its M.Pharm/MS(Pharm)/M.Tech(Pharma)/MBA(Pharma)/PhD programmes, conducted by NIPER itself. GPAT is a separate, broader national-level pharmacy exam (conducted by NTA since 2018, previously by AICTE) used by roughly 800 participating institutes across India, distinct from NIPER's own admission process.

How many seats does NIPER JEE cover across NIPER campuses?

Around 990-1,158 Masters seats plus roughly 249 PhD seats across NIPER Mohali, Raebareli, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Hajipur, Hyderabad, and Guwahati (figures vary slightly by source/year).
