Pharmaceutical Engineering and Technology
With the inspiration of Late Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and with the untiring zeal and enthusiasm of Late Professor M.L.Schroff (Father of Pharmacy Education in India), this Department was established as early as in 1932. This is the first Institution in the country to start the Degree level Pharmacy Education and can claim to be the pioneering center for Pharmacy Education in the Asian, African and Far-East region of the world. Students graduated from this Department have spread over US, Europe, UK, Malaysia and other countries
Academic Programmes
- B.Tech.
- The Department of Pharmaceutical Engineering and Technology (Formerly Department of Pharmaceutics) offers 4-year B Tech programme in Pharmacy (formerly Bacherlor of Pharmacy) from 2013 and onward. The B.Tech programme offered at IIT (BHU) has a unique blend of courses comprising of science, engineering, pharmacy and humanities disciplines etc., structured across eight semesters. The 4-year curriculum is designed to offer a layered learning experience to the students. In the first two years, the student would study the basic science and engineering courses along with preliminary foundation courses of pharmacy core and carry out an exciting exploratory project during fourth semester. In the later two years, the students would be exposed to the advanced pharmacy core and stream courses, besides the open elective courses from allied or other engineering disciplines and a rigorous project during sixth and seventh semesters.
- 5-Year Integrated Dual Degree (B.Tech & M.Tech.) Programme
- The Department also offers a 5-year Integrated Dual Degree (B Tech & M Tech) in Pharmacy. The courses are designed to impart knowledge on various aspects of Pharmaceutical sciences and engineering including drug design, drug development, testing, and safe and effective use of drugs/medicines and drug delivery systems. Besides the prerequisites courses of 4-year B Tech programme, the 5-year research-oriented IDD curriculum includes a bunch of advanced courses in various streams viz, Formulation design & development, Drug design & development, Drug evaluation & toxicology, Natural drug product development and thus provides an opportunity to carry out research projects and thesis works, in these streams and in allied disciplines.
- 2-Year M.Pharm. Programme
- The Department offers 2-year M Pharm programme in four specialization areas namely Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy .
