NIPER JEE Result Previous Year Statistics
NIPER JEE has one of the fastest result timelines among national pharmacy entrance exams. It typically declares results within 6–12 days of the exam.
In three of the last four years when the exam fell in June, the result came out on June 21. The 2023 result took longer because the exam itself was postponed to July that year. With the 2026 exam on June 13, this pattern puts the result squarely around June 20–21.
Candidate numbers have also climbed. The 2025 cycle set a new record.
NIPER JEE Result History and Trends
The table below shows the exam and result dates for recent NIPER JEE cycles, along with the number of candidates who appeared.
| Year | Exam Date | Candidates Appeared | Result Date | Post-Result Round |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | June 13, 2026 | To be updated | Expected June 20–21, 2026 | GDPI (Expected July 2026) |
| 2025 | June 2025 | ~9,629 (record high) | June 21, 2025 | GDPI |
| 2024 | June 15, 2024 | Not disclosed | June 21, 2024 | GDPI |
| 2023 | July 13, 2023 | Not disclosed | July 25, 2023 | GDPI |
| 2022 | June 2022 | Not disclosed | June 21, 2022 | GDPI |
Days Between Exam and Result
The time gap between the exam and the result has varied across years. The table below lists the turnaround for each cycle.
| Year | Exam Date | Result Date | Days After Exam |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | June 2025 | June 21, 2025 | ~6–8 days |
| 2024 | June 15, 2024 | June 21, 2024 | 6 days |
| 2023 | July 13, 2023 | July 25, 2023 | 12 days |
| 2022 | June 2022 | June 21, 2022 | ~6–8 days |
The 2025 cycle saw around 9,629 candidates appear — the highest ever — across two sessions. With roughly 1,050 Masters seats available, the competition ratio works out to nearly 9 candidates per seat. That makes the NIPER JEE significantly more selective than a typical state pharmacy entrance exam, and clearing the qualifying threshold only gets you into the merit list — the GDPI round is what finally determines who sits in those seats.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ques. In which years did NIPER declare the JEE result on June 21?
Ans. NIPER declared results on June 21 in 2022, 2024, and 2025 — all years when the exam was held in the second week of June. The 2023 result came on July 25 because the exam was rescheduled to July 13 that year for administrative reasons. Based on this pattern, a June 20–21, 2026 result is the strongest expectation.
Ques. How many students appeared for NIPER JEE 2025?
Ans. Around 9,629 candidates appeared for NIPER JEE 2025 — 6,452 in Session 1 and 3,177 in Session 2. This was a record participation year. With approximately 1,050 Masters seats available, roughly 9 candidates competed for each seat on average.

Ans. Your Hall Ticket Number is on the admit card PDF you downloaded before the exam. Check your downloads folder and the email ID you registered with. If still unavailable, use Method 2 — the public merit list PDF lets you search by name without logging in. For the individual rank card, contact NIPER Mohali through the official helpdesk with your application number and identity proof.
Ques. Are there separate result PDFs for Masters and PhD in NIPER JEE 2026?
Ans. Yes. NIPER publishes separate merit lists for Masters programmes (MS Pharm, M.Tech, MBA Pharm) and PhD programmes. Your rank card will also carry the programme category you applied under. Make sure you download the correct list for your programme type.
NIPER JEE 2026: Rank Card Details
NIPER JEE 2026 Rank Card
The rank card is the official result document for NIPER JEE 2026. It is downloaded as a PDF from the official portal using the Hall Ticket Number. Counselling coordinators at each NIPER campus use it to verify eligibility.
| Detail on Rank Card | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Candidate Name | As entered in the application form — check the spelling |
| Hall Ticket Number | Unique exam roll number — the primary key to locate the entry in the merit list |
| Application Number | Registration ID from the application — alternate search key |
| Exam Date | June 13, 2026 |
| Marks Obtained | Raw score out of 200 in the written CBT |
| All India Rank (AIR) | Position among all candidates who appeared — the basis for counselling and seat allotment |
| Gender | Male / Female / Transgender (as registered) |
| Category | UR / OBC / SC / ST / PwD — determines the qualifying threshold and seat reservation |
| Qualification Status | Qualified or Not Qualified — only Qualified candidates are eligible for GDPI and counselling |
Check every detail as soon as the rank card is downloaded. If there is an error — wrong category, misspelled name, or incorrect hall ticket number — report it to NIPER Mohali immediately through the official portal. Errors noticed only at document verification during counselling can delay or block admission.
NIPER JEE 2026 Qualifying Marks
To appear in the NIPER JEE 2026 merit list and become eligible for GDPI, a candidate must score at or above the minimum qualifying marks for their category. These are fixed score thresholds, not ranks, and they remain the same regardless of the number of candidates or the difficulty of the paper. Clearing them gets a candidate into the merit list, but the AIR inside that list determines which seats are within reach.
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Percentage | Minimum Marks (out of 200) |
|---|---|---|
| General / UR (Unreserved) | 50% | 100 |
| OBC (Other Backward Classes) | 45% | 90 |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | 45% | 90 |
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | 40% | 80 |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | 40% | 80 |
| PwD (Persons with Disability) | 40% | 80 |
The actual admission cutoff — the AIR at which seats at a specific NIPER programme close — is separate from these qualifying marks and is far more competitive. It is determined only after GDPI and counselling rounds conclude. Seats at the more established campuses and popular programmes (like Pharmacology or Pharmaceutics) typically close at much lower rank numbers than the overall qualifying pool. The 2026 admission cutoffs will be published after counselling ends.
Qualifying Marks vs Admission Cutoff
Ques. What is the difference between qualifying marks and admission cutoff in NIPER JEE?
Ans. Qualifying marks (100/90/80 depending on category) are fixed score thresholds needed to appear in the merit list. Admission cutoff is the actual rank at which seats at a specific NIPER and programme close during counselling — it changes every year and is always more competitive than the qualifying threshold. Many candidates qualify the written exam but do not secure a seat because the admission cutoff is far stricter.
Ques. If I cross the qualifying marks, is admission to a NIPER guaranteed?
Ans. No. Crossing qualifying marks puts a candidate in the merit list and makes them eligible for GDPI. Final admission depends on the AIR, GDPI performance, the programme and NIPER chosen, available seats in the category, and competition that year. With around 9,600 candidates appearing and roughly 1,050 Masters seats, not every qualified candidate gets a seat.
NIPER JEE 2026 Merit List
Along with individual rank cards, NIPER publishes a consolidated merit list on the official portal — a category-wise PDF that lists all qualified candidates in rank order. Two separate merit lists are released: one for Masters programmes (MS Pharm, M.Tech, MBA Pharm) and one for PhD programmes. These are public documents; no login is needed to download them.
Here is what to know about the NIPER JEE 2026 merit list:
NIPER JEE 2026 Merit List
The merit list PDF shows each candidate's hall ticket number, name, AIR, gender, category, and qualification status. Category-wise lists are published separately for UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD candidates.
The merit list is used for GDPI call letters and seat allotment during counselling. If there is any mismatch between the rank card and the merit list entry, report it to NIPER Mohali before GDPI.
A supplementary merit list may be released after Round 1 of counselling if seats remain vacant. In 2025, additional category-specific lists were updated in August after the main counselling round.
Keep the full merit list PDF saved along with the individual rank card. Counselling coordinators at each NIPER campus use the merit list to verify eligibility during document verification.
NIPER JEE 2026: Seat Matrix
All seven NIPER institutes participate in NIPER JEE 2026. Seats across all campuses are filled through the same common rank list, so a candidate applies once and can secure a seat at any of the seven institutes.
The official 2026 seat matrix will be released after the result declaration along with the counselling schedule. The numbers below are based on 2025 data and are expected to be similar for 2026.
| NIPER Institute | Location | Programmes Offered |
|---|---|---|
| NIPER S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali) | Punjab | MS (Pharm), M.Tech, MBA (Pharm), PhD |
| NIPER Hyderabad | Telangana | MS (Pharm), M.Tech, MBA (Pharm), PhD |
| NIPER Ahmedabad | Gujarat | MS (Pharm), M.Tech, MBA (Pharm), PhD |
| NIPER Guwahati | Assam | MS (Pharm), M.Tech, PhD |
| NIPER Raebareli | Uttar Pradesh | MS (Pharm), M.Tech, PhD |
| NIPER Kolkata | West Bengal | MS (Pharm), PhD |
| NIPER Hajipur | Bihar | MS (Pharm), PhD |
| Total Seats (approx.) | All campuses | ~1,050 Masters seats + ~180 PhD seats |
Seats within each institute are distributed across reservation categories (UR, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, PwD) as per the Government of India's reservation policy. The official category-wise and programme-wise seat breakdown for 2026 will be released with the counselling schedule.
NIPER Mohali is the coordinating institute and typically has the largest seat pool and the most competitive admission cutoffs.
What After NIPER JEE Result 2026?
Once the NIPER JEE 2026 result is declared and a candidate is listed as Qualified, four more steps remain before a seat is confirmed. Missing any of them, including the GDPI, means losing the opportunity regardless of rank.
Step 1 — Download Your Rank Card and Verify Details
Get the rank card from niper.gov.in/niperjee2026 immediately. Confirm the qualification status, AIR, category, and personal details.
Report any discrepancy to NIPER Mohali right away. Errors flagged after GDPI are harder to correct.
Step 2 — Watch for the GDPI and Counselling Schedule
NIPER publishes the GDPI schedule on the official portal after the result. Based on the 2025 pattern, GDPI is expected in July 2026.
Keep checking the portal and note the assigned campus, date, and reporting time.
Step 3 — Appear for GDPI in Person
The Group Discussion and Personal Interview (GDPI) takes place at the NIPER campus a candidate is called to. Skipping this round means forfeiting the seat.
The final merit score combines the NIPER JEE written score and GDPI performance. Prepare for both the group discussion format and subject-specific interview questions.
Step 4 — Seat Allotment, Document Verification, and Fee Payment
After GDPI, NIPER releases combined merit scores and allots seats in rank order. Candidates indicate their preferred institute and programme.
Once a seat is allotted, report for document verification and pay the admission fee within the deadline. Seats not confirmed by the deadline are released to the next candidate.
Documents to Carry at GDPI and Counselling
- NIPER JEE 2026 rank card (printed copy)
- NIPER JEE 2026 admit card (printed copy)
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
- B.Pharm / M.Sc / B.Tech degree certificate or provisional certificate with all semester mark sheets

NIPER JEE 2026 Result and Post-Result Timeline
The NIPER JEE 2026 result is expected in the third week of June 2026, around June 20–21. The exam is scheduled for June 13, 2026.
NIPER declared the result on June 21 in 2022, 2024, and 2025, all years when the exam was held in the second week of June. The same 6–8 day turnaround places the 2026 result around June 20–21.
Post-Result Steps and Expected Timeline
| Post-Result Step | Expected Timeline |

Where to Download the Result
The result is available only at niper.gov.in/niperjee2026. The Hall Ticket Number is required to download the individual rank card.
The category-wise merit list PDF is a public document. It can be downloaded from the same portal without logging in.
Minimum Qualifying Marks
General/UR candidates need at least 100 out of 200 marks (50%). OBC and EWS candidates need 90 marks (45%).
SC, ST, and PwD candidates need 80 marks (40%). These thresholds are fixed and determine who appears in the merit list.
- General/UR: 100 marks (50%)
- OBC and EWS: 90 marks (45%)
- SC, ST, and PwD: 80 marks (40%)
Actual scores needed for competitive seats will be significantly higher than these thresholds.
Result System: Raw Marks and AIR
NIPER JEE does not use a percentile system like JEE Main. Results are based on raw marks out of 200 and All India Rank (AIR).
There is no percentile normalisation. The rank card directly shows marks and AIR, which counselling and seat allotment use.
GDPI Round Details
GDPI stands for Group Discussion and Personal Interview. After qualifying the written exam, candidates must attend GDPI in person at the allotted NIPER campus.
GDPI performance is combined with the NIPER JEE written score to determine final merit and seat allotment. Missing GDPI means forfeiting candidacy, regardless of written rank.
GPAT Score Requirement
A valid GPAT score is mandatory for MS (Pharm) programmes. M.Tech and MBA (Pharm) programmes may have different eligibility conditions.
Check the official NIPER JEE 2026 information brochure at niper.gov.in/niperjee2026 to confirm requirements for a specific programme.
Participating Institutes and Seats
Seven NIPER institutes participate in NIPER JEE 2026. They are Mohali (S.A.S. Nagar), Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Raebareli, Kolkata, and Hajipur.
All seats across these seven campuses are filled through a single common rank list. Candidates apply once and can secure admission at any of the seven institutes.
Around 1,050 Masters seats and 180 PhD seats are available across all 7 NIPERs. NIPER Mohali has the most seats and the most competitive cutoffs.
The exact programme-wise and category-wise seat matrix for 2026 will be released with the counselling schedule after the result is declared.
Revaluation and Result Validity
There is no revaluation or re-checking option for NIPER JEE 2026. The exam is computer-based with machine-graded MCQs.
Questions with suspected errors had to be raised during the answer key challenge window immediately after the exam. Once the result is declared, it is considered final.
The NIPER JEE result and merit list are valid only for the 2026–27 admission cycle. Candidates who qualify in 2026 but miss counselling or do not secure a seat must appear for NIPER JEE 2027 afresh for the next cycle.
Missing GDPI
Missing the GDPI round means forfeiting candidacy for the 2026 admission cycle. There is no provision to reschedule GDPI once the date is assigned.
For genuine emergency circumstances, candidates can contact NIPER Mohali directly, but there is no guaranteed alternative arrangement. Travel and documents should be planned well in advance once the GDPI schedule is announced.

NIPER JEE 2026 Result Date
The NIPER JEE 2026 result is expected in the third week of June 2026, around June 20-21. The exam is scheduled for June 13, 2026.
NIPER declared the result on June 21 in 2022, 2024, and 2025. These were all years when the exam was held in the second week of June. The 2023 result came on July 25 because the exam was rescheduled to July 13 that year for administrative reasons.
Based on this pattern, a June 20-21, 2026 result is the strongest expectation. Check niper.gov.in/niperjee2026 from June 20 onwards.
Where to Download the Result
The result is available only at niper.gov.in/niperjee2026. You need your Hall Ticket Number to download the individual rank card.
The category-wise merit list PDF is a public document. It can be downloaded from the same portal without logging in.
How to Check the Result Without a Hall Ticket Number
Your Hall Ticket Number is on the admit card PDF you downloaded before the exam. Check your downloads folder and the email ID you registered with.
If still unavailable, use the public merit list PDF. It lets you search by name without logging in.
For the individual rank card, contact NIPER Mohali through the official helpdesk. Keep your application number and identity proof ready.
Separate Results for Masters and PhD
Yes. NIPER publishes separate merit lists for Masters programmes and PhD programmes.
Masters programmes include MS Pharm, M.Tech, and MBA Pharm. Your rank card will carry the programme category you applied under. Download the correct list for your programme type.
Qualifying Marks vs Admission Cutoff
Qualifying marks are fixed score thresholds you need to cross to appear in the merit list. Admission cutoff is the actual rank at which seats at a specific NIPER and programme close during counselling.
The admission cutoff changes every year. It is always more competitive than the qualifying threshold. Many candidates qualify the written exam but do not secure a seat because the admission cutoff is far stricter.
Minimum Marks to Qualify
General/UR candidates need at least 100 out of 200 marks (50%). OBC and EWS candidates need 90 marks (45%). SC, ST, and PwD candidates need 80 marks (40%).
These thresholds are fixed and determine who appears in the merit list. Actual scores needed for competitive seats will be significantly higher.
Is Admission Guaranteed After Qualifying?
No. Crossing qualifying marks puts you in the merit list and makes you eligible for GDPI. Final admission depends on your AIR, your GDPI performance, the programme and NIPER you choose, available seats in your category, and competition that year.
Around 9,600 candidates appeared for NIPER JEE 2025. With roughly 1,050 Masters seats available, not every qualified candidate gets a seat.
Number of Candidates in NIPER JEE 2025
Around 9,629 candidates appeared for NIPER JEE 2025. This included 6,452 in Session 1 and 3,177 in Session 2.
This was a record participation year. With approximately 1,050 Masters seats available, roughly 9 candidates competed for each seat on average.
Scoring System
NIPER JEE results are based on raw marks out of 200 and All India Rank (AIR). There is no percentile normalisation.
Your rank card directly shows your marks and AIR. That is what counselling and seat allotment use.
GDPI Round
GDPI stands for Group Discussion and Personal Interview. After you qualify the written exam, you must attend GDPI in person at the NIPER campus you are allotted to.
GDPI is not just a formality. Your GDPI performance is combined with your NIPER JEE written score to determine final merit and seat allotment.
Missing GDPI means forfeiting your candidacy, regardless of your written rank.
GPAT Score Requirement
Yes, for MS (Pharm) programmes, a valid GPAT score is a mandatory eligibility requirement. M.Tech and MBA (Pharm) programmes may have different eligibility conditions.
Check the official NIPER JEE 2026 information brochure at niper.gov.in/niperjee2026 to confirm requirements for your specific programme.
Participating Institutes
Seven NIPER institutes participate in NIPER JEE 2026. They are Mohali (S.A.S. Nagar), Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Raebareli, Kolkata, and Hajipur.

The admit card contains the candidate's name, roll number, exam centre, and exam timings. Candidates must carry a printed copy of the admit card to the exam centre.
Without a valid admit card, entry to the exam hall will not be permitted. Candidates should also carry a government-issued photo ID for verification.
Result and Merit List
The NIPER JEE 2026 result will be declared online on the official website. The result will show the candidate's score and qualifying status.
A merit list will be prepared based on the exam scores. The merit list will include the rank of each qualified candidate.
Qualified candidates will be called for the Group Discussion and Personal Interview (GDPI) round. The final selection is based on the combined performance in the written test and GDPI.
Seat Matrix
Around 1,050 Masters seats and 180 PhD seats are available across all 7 NIPERs. The exact programme-wise and category-wise seat matrix for 2026 will be released with the counselling schedule after the result is declared.
NIPER Mohali has the most seats and the most competitive cutoffs. Seat allocation is done through the counselling process based on merit and preference.
Revaluation and Re-checking
No. NIPER JEE is a computer-based exam with machine-graded MCQs — there is no revaluation process. If you believed a question had an error, you needed to raise it during the answer key challenge window immediately after the exam.
Once the result is declared, it is considered final. No requests for re-evaluation will be entertained.
GDPI and Counselling
Missing the GDPI round means you forfeit your candidacy for the 2026 admission cycle. There is no provision to reschedule GDPI once the date is assigned.
If you face genuine emergency circumstances, you can contact NIPER Mohali directly, but there is no guaranteed alternative arrangement. Plan your travel and documents well in advance once the GDPI schedule is announced.
Validity of Result
No. The NIPER JEE result and merit list are valid only for the 2026-27 admission cycle. If you qualify in 2026 but miss counselling or do not secure a seat, you have to appear for NIPER JEE 2027 afresh for the next cycle.
The result cannot be carried forward to any subsequent academic year.
