Many private universities in India, like Amity University, Jamia Hamdard Manipal University, and others, give students the chance to pursue an M.Pharma degree without having to pass the GPAT exam. Without administering any admission exams first, they accept students under management quotas. If you pass this test, you'll be eligible to enrol in some of India's top universities that offer M.Pharma programmes. You will also receive a stipend of 12400 INR in addition to a CV that will make you stand out for greater future prospects. -
