NIRF 2018 Pharmacy rankings

The official NIRF 2018 Pharmacy ranking in this database contains 50 ranked institutions. National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Mohali leads at rank 1 with a score of 78.20. Jamia Hamdard is second and Panjab University is third.

Among institutions classified by NIRFRank, 16 are government and 29 are private. BITS Pilani is the leading private entry at rank 5 with a score of 71.92. The list covers 18 states and 40 cities. A smaller rank number is better, and scores should be compared only within the same category and year.

Movement compares each year with the preceding available edition. Newly listed means absent from the comparison year, not necessarily a first appearance. Absence does not establish why an institution is missing. Rank changes alone do not explain changes in quality.
