Ans: Hi Saranya,

As you mentioned, many pharmacy graduates are considering the GPAT after completing their undergraduate studies in pharmacy. However, there are several more options available for pursuing a postgraduate degree in pharmacy today.

Here are the options for pursuing a PG in pharmacy:

1. GPAT: You can appear for the GPAT exam, and if you qualify, you will be eligible for a scholarship.

2. NIPER: You can also take the entrance exam for NIPER (National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research) campuses, which include Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Hajipur, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Raebareli, and Mohali. Qualifying here also makes you eligible for a scholarship.

3. PG-CUET: A new option is the PG-CUET (Common University Entrance Test), which is being conducted by the NTA (National Testing Agency) under the Department of Higher Education.

4. Government Institutions: State governments will announce admission through advertisements. Admission will be based on marks or an entrance exam.

5. Deemed Universities: Some deemed universities offer admission through their own entrance exams.

Historically, GPAT and NIPER were the primary options for national-level aspirants. Starting from the academic year 2025-26, the NTA will also conduct the PG-CUET for national-level admissions.

I have included more details about the PG-CUET below.

Ans: Hi,

The best option after completing your undergraduate degree in pharmacy is to pursue an MBA. However, it is important to gain some experience in your chosen field before starting your MBA. This experience can help you secure a higher salary and a better position.

If you're looking to earn money quickly after your undergraduate degree, consider a career in marketing—you can expect a salary of around 6.0 LPA.

It's advisable to work in the field for at least 2 to 3 years before pursuing your MBA, whether it's full-time, distance learning, or virtual.

Once you complete your MBA, you can expect to see an increase in both your position and salary.

Best of luck!
