PLACEMENT BROCHURE
CD-ROM INSIDE
NIPER-Ahmedabad established in 2007 is a
natural extension of NIPER-Chandigarh which was
established as premier institute of research & higher
education in pharmaceutical sciences. NIPER-
Ahmedabad strives to uphold & meet the excellent
standards of NIPER-Chandigarh in teaching M.S.
(Pharm.) courses. Students get admitted to NIPER-
NIPER- Ahmedabad is currently housed at B.V.Patel PERD Centre.
PERD Centre has its reputation in higher education (Ph.D level) & research.
PERD Center has devotionally undertaken the task of implementing NIPER-
Chandigarh M.S. (Pharm.) program at NIPER-Ahmedabad & the students of
batch 2008-2010 are result of PERD’s sincere efforts.
I am sure that you will find our students well prepared & competent in
their subjects & well groomed to be professionals.
Ahmedabad through nation wide open entrance examination (NIPER-JEE)
conducted by NIPER-Chandigarh. The syllabi, curriculum & examination
standards are exactly those developed by NIPER-Chandigarh.
NIPER-Ahmedabad was established in the year 2007 at B. V. Patel
Pharmaceutical Education & Research Development (PERD) Centre as
the mentor institute. The National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education
and Research (NIPER) had been created as a Centre of Excellence in im-
parting higher education, research and development in pharmaceutical
sciences and was the first Institute of its kind in country. The institute
was declared as an Institute of National Importance by Government of
India through an Act of Parliament, notified on 26th June 1998. The In-
stitute is a member of the Association of Indian Universities and Asso-
ciation of Commonwealth Universities.
To tone up the level of pharmaceutical education, research and management.
To produce leaders in the field and provide opportunities for training of future teachers,
research scientists and managers for the industry and the profession. To provide leader-
ship in pharmaceutical sciences, technology and management in India as well as in
countries of South East Asia, West Asia and Africa.
To be a center for innovation in pharmaceutical sciences and technology not only for the
industry but also for making in-depth studies on drug surveillance, functioning of commu-
nity and institutional pharmacies and pharmaceutical management.
NIPER - Ahmedabad has been doing its best to elevate the professionalism of all its students.
Placement of students who pass the M.S. (Pharm.) has been the top priority for the institute.
The placement ommittee comprises of a placement coordinators and students who look after
the placement activities which not only interacts with various organizations for job and pro-
ject placement of the students through on-campus/off-campus interviews but also molds them
into a positive attitude towards professionalism and provide them the strong backup of re-
sources, so that they acquire the essential expertise and attitude to excel.
The B. V. Patel PERD Centre is India's first multidisciplinary, postgraduate research institute, dedicated
to the pursuit of excellence in the pharmaceutical sciences equipped with the latest and best R&D facili-
ties, highly qualified scientific & technical personnel & regular education, training and developmental
activities, PERD, today, is an internationally recognized research institute, providing the Pharmaceuti-
cal industry and Academia the opportunity and resources to undertake the latest in research and devel-
PERD CENTRE is an outcome of industry - academy - government
collaboration to provide R & D services to the pharmaceutical indus-
try and to undertake wide spectrum of educational activities for hu-
man resource development, especially in this part of the country.
The B. V. Patel PERD Centre was established under the aegis of the B. V. Patel Education Trust,
Ahmedabad, and the Gujarat Branch of the Indian Pharmaceutical Association, in memory of late Shri
B. V. Patel, the first Drugs Controller of Gujarat, who is considered the Father of Drug Legislation in
India. The Centre was inaugurated on 27th October 1990 by Professor M. G. K. Menon, Minister of
State for Science & Technology, and is registered under Societies Registration Act as Charitable Trust.
Through its activities, the Centre aims at evolving into an internationally recognized multifarious

DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES
The department is involved in the pharmacognostic, phytochemical and pharmacological studies of medicinal plants and
polyherbal formulations as well as structural modification of natural products for optimization of the biological activity. The
main areas in which the department is working are as under…..
Evaluation of plant extracts for neuroprotective, neuroregenerative, radioprotective, anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory,
anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, hepatoprotective, anti-implantation, anti-arthritis, anti-allergic, anti-asthmatic, anti-
microbial, anti-apoptotic and antioxidant activities and bioactivity guided fractionation leading to the isolation of active principles from herbal extracts.
Analogue synthesis of compounds derived from natural sources and screening for their reported biological activities
Formulation development of compounds as well as crude extracts from herbals for various therapeutic categories includ-
ing Glaucoma and Leishmaniasis
Pharmacokinetics and bioavailabilitiy studies of herbal drugs and formulations
Establishing extensive QA/QC parameters, carrying out stability studies of herbal drugs and formulations
Isolation of various marker compounds using different techniques viz., solvent extraction, column chromatography, preparative HPLC, preparative HPTLC.
Developing pharmacopoeial methods for standardization of herbal drugs, herbal extracts and polyherbal formulations.
The work includes developing methods of standardization for pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation of herbal drugs and formulations. The work also involves isolation and characterization of active principles / marker compounds
and establishing methods for the quantification of marker compounds using HPTLC, HPLC or GLC.
Developing methods for phytochemical evaluation by marker compound analysis and finger printing of herbal drugs /
formulations for herbal manufacturers.

The details of syllabus of M.S.(Pharm.)
Pharmaceutics are given here.
Department of Pharmaceutics is equipped with
state-of art facility for formulation development.
It has five students pursuing their doctoral stud-
ies along with 12 M.S. (Pharm.) students.
The department has developed various controlled
and sustained release formulations & technology
has been transferred to the industries. We have
pilot plant facility for conventional oral & trans-
dermal dosage forms & also initiated research on
Biomaterials and Nanotechnology. Moreover,
department is engaged in interdisciplinary pro-
jects for delivery of therapeutics of biotechno-
logical & natural origin.
DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES
Many new chemical entities (NCE) are entering in to the market everyday due to efforts from R & D sector. These
NCEs are having complex physicochemical properties posing barrier for drug delivery. Biopharmaceuticals though
proved to be excellent therapeutically but are difficult to formulate due to their stability issues. Our department is
engaged in circumventing problems regarding drug delivery by formulating Conventional as well as Novel Drug
Delivery System (NDDS). Department focuses on following research areas:
Preformulation studies of various drugs including Drug-excipient incompatibility studies
Prototype formulation development studies
Challenges pertaining for studies on solid, semisolid and liquid Products/process
Molecular complexes to improve aqueous solubility of poorly water soluble drugs or
for Taste masking of bitter drugs.
Development of excipients with improved properties using co-process engineering technique;
Lipid based formulations for Improvement of oral bioavailability
Buccal & transdermal permeation enhancement of drugs by physical ,chemical means & combination thereof.
Nano-biopharmaceutics: Focus on drug targeting and shRNA delivery
Stability studies
