Hi,

Yes, GPAT/GATE is must to take admission in any course in NIPER . Yes, also you require a good rank in Gpat as Niper jee is abandoned by government of India in year 2018.

You have option for that either you need to qualify GPAT or GATE.

For admission in any subject in NIPER you need to qualify one of the above exams as eligibility criteria, so it is applicable to pharma MBA also.

Pharma student can appear for GATE in lifesciences, syllabus includes, biochemistry, microbiology, organic chemistry, botany. First section of english is compulsory.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
