The verdict
Good fit
A tightly knit, research‑first Ph.D. with excellent accreditation (NAAC A+, NIRF #41 in Pharmacy), high placement traction into labs and academia, and very affordable fees. The tiny intake of 10 means stiff competition, so it suits students already clear about pharma R&D or academic careers.
