Hi.

Results

• After the NIPER JEE exam (typically held in June), the results and merit lists for M.S. (Pharm.)/M.Pharm are usually released in late June.

  • For example, for the 2025 cycle, results and merit lists were published on 21 June 2025.

• For the 2026 cycle, results are expected to be released a few weeks after the exam, following the same pattern (result dates are often announced on the official NIPER JEE site shortly after the exam).

Counselling

• Counselling for MS Pharma/M.Pharm admissions usually occurs after the results are declared:

  • In the 2025 cycle, counselling was scheduled on 20–21 July 2025 based on rank lists.

  • These sessions are organized by the NIPER JEE conducting authority and involve seat allotment for qualified candidates.

• For 2026 admissions, once the NIPER JEE results are announced (typically late June or early July), the counselling schedule will be published shortly thereafter on the niper.gov.in portal.
