UG Research

Nirma University serves as a foundation for students’ overall development. In line with the University Research Policy, the Institute of Pharmacy also envisions basic, applied, and socially relevant research apart from conducive learning. Institute of Pharmacy, Nirma University, has established an Undergraduate Research Council to encourage the interest of UG students in research-related activities. These activities include providing guidance for innovative ideas, engaging students in practical and real-life problem solving, and nurturing their creativity. This initiative aims to pique students’ interest in research by providing mentorship and pursuing multi-disciplinary research in pharmaceutical sciences.
