NIRF 2019 Pharmacy rankings

The official NIRF 2019 Pharmacy ranking in this database contains 75 ranked institutions. Jamia Hamdard leads at rank 1 with a score of 78.43. Panjab University is second and NIPER Mohali is third.

Among institutions classified by NIRFRank, 22 are government and 44 are private. BITS Pilani is the leading private entry at rank 5 with a score of 69.09. The list covers 20 states and 56 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.
