Candidates must hold a B. Pharm degree from a PCI and AICTE approved Institute. Candidates must have a first class or minimum 60% marks in average (45% for SC/ST) in graduation. [Sponsored candidates must have minimum 55% in average (45% for SC/ ST) in graduation]. In case the examining Board does not award a class, the percentage marks in graduation will be computed as average of marks obtained in all subjects in which candidate has appeared (excluding optional subjects). Candidates should preferably be GATE qualified. Non-GATE candidates may also apply – see Selection Procedures below
Candidates with qualifications acquired through correspondence or distance-learning programmes are eligible only if they acquired such qualifications as working professionals / while in employment.
Candidates appearing for final examinations of their Bachelor's programme in 2009 can also apply, and if selected can join the programme provisionally. At the time of the interviews they must bring:
1. A certificate in original from the Principal of their Institute certifying that by 30 June 2009, they will have appeared for examination in all subjects required for obtaining their Bachelor's degree.
2. A certificate in original from the Principal of their Institute certifying that they have obtained 60% marks or equivalent (45% in case of SC/ST candidates) based on latest available grades / marks.
Note:
Candidates with foreign diplomas should see the EdCIL website for equivalence (www.edcil.co.in), and if required should obtain an equivalence certificate well in advance from the evaluation division of the AIU (www.aiuweb.org).
In case any Board / University awards grades instead of marks, the calculation of equivalent marks would be based on the procedure prescribed by the Board / University. In case a University does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing obtained CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the resultant with 100.
Their admission will be confirmed only when they submit the mark sheet and a certificate of having passed the Bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification with at least 60% marks (45% in case of SC/ ST). They must submit proof of passing their final examinations with requisite marks by 31 October 2009. Non-fulfillment of this condition will automatically result in the cancellation of the provisional admission.
Selection Procedures:
Admission to the M. Pharm programme will be on the basis of scores obtained in GATE 2008 / GATE 2009, previous academic record and/or written test (wherever applicable) and personal interviews. Candidates who have not appeared or not qualified in GATE 2008 / GATE 2009 may also apply to the M. Pharm programmes where GATE is mentioned as part of the eligibility criteria. However, their applications will be considered only after GATE candidates have been considered and interviewed. Further, there will be no scholarships for these candidates.
