Dharmanagar: In a significant boost to higher education in the North-East, Aryavart International University (AIU), Dharmanagar, has raised the approved intake of its Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) programme to 100 seats.

The move throws open the doors of professional pharmacy education to a new generation of students across Tripura and the wider region, and underlines the university’s ambition to emerge as a leading centre of learning and research in eastern India.

Offered through the Aryavart School of Pharmacy and approved by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), the B.Pharm programme is complemented by a D.Pharm course with an intake of 60 seats. With the enhanced capacity, a larger cohort of aspiring pharmacists will now be able to pursue rigorous, industry-relevant education and prepare for careers in one of the country’s fastest-growing sectors — healthcare and pharmaceuticals.

University officials said the expansion responds directly to the rising national demand for qualified pharmacy professionals. The additional seats, they noted, are expected to benefit students not only from Tripura but from across the North-East and other parts of the country, offering them a supportive academic environment and a clear pathway into the pharmaceutical industry, hospitals, research, and regulatory services.

The announcement comes on the heels of another milestone for the university, which recently welcomed the distinguished academician and educationist Dr. Atul Kumar Sharma as its Vice-Chancellor. His extensive experience in academic administration, research development, institutional growth and higher-education leadership is expected to sharpen AIU’s focus on excellence, innovation and industry-integrated learning.
