JIS University

JIS University in Kolkata, West Bengal, runs a pharmacy programme with 506 students taught by 41 faculty members. In NIRF's 2025 Pharmacy rankings, it placed #97 with a score of 41.67 out of 100, giving prospective students a benchmark against other pharmacy institutes in the country.

Placement records show a clear split between the PG and UG tracks. In 2023-24, all 19 students who graduated from the Pharmacy PG 2-year programme were placed, with a median salary of 3.26 LPA. The Pharmacy UG 4-year programme that same year saw 108 graduates but only 56 placed, at a lower median salary of 2.1 LPA. This gap between PG and UG placement rates has held over previous years too: in 2022-23, 15 of 18 PG graduates were placed (median 3.01 LPA) against 34 of 108 UG graduates (median 1.86 LPA), and in 2021-22, all 14 PG graduates were placed (median 2.4 LPA) while only 15 of 110 UG graduates found placement (median 1.6 LPA).

For someone evaluating this university, the PG programme's consistent full or near-full placement and rising median salary over the three years are worth weighing against the UG programme's lower and more variable placement rate, even as UG placements have improved year on year from 15 to 34 to 56 graduates placed.
