Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology (Life Science) was established in the year 2008 under the aegis of Guru Nanak Education Trust and the JIS Group at Panihati, Sodepur, Kolkata-700114.
The institute commenced its academic journey with the core programs Bachelor in Hospital Management (BHM), B.Sc (Hons) in Biotechnology, and B.Sc (Hons) in Microbiology, answering the growing demand for scientifically proficient graduates in modern biotechnology and clinical health management.
In 2013, the institute introduced M.Sc in Biotechnology, M.Sc in Genetics, and B.Sc (Hons) in Genetics along with increased intake for B.Sc (Hons) Biotechnology and B.Sc (Hons) Microbiology. Progressing further, M.Sc in Microbiology was introduced from the 2016–17 session, and B.Sc in Medical Laboratory Technology (BMLT) commenced from the 2018–19 session.
Our students consistently excel in the End Semester examinations conducted by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT) and are regularly felicitated with gold medals at the annual university convocation. The faculty and students actively engage in cutting-edge research, publishing findings in journals of international repute and presenting research papers at national and international conferences.
The institute maintains collaborative Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with reputed national and international universities as well as leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Our foundational charter defines our unwavering commitment to scientific inquiry, societal reform, ethical responsibility, and lifelong learning.
“To develop responsible citizens who would be professionally equipped to ‘think globally and act locally’ and become reformers of society to meet the challenges of future.”
We aim to empower every student with rigorous biological knowledge and global analytical capability, enabling them to solve local healthcare and environmental challenges with innovative solutions.
