Thank you for your inquiry.

With an All India Rank (AIR) of 472 in the General category and a Category Rank of 186, your prospects for securing Pharmacology & Toxicology (core) at leading NIPER institutes such as Mohali or Hyderabad hinge significantly on the cut-off trends for the current counselling cycle. Historically, NIPER Mohali’s cut-offs for this specialization in the General category have typically closed between AIR 150 and 300. Given this, admission in the first round appears unlikely with your current rank. Nonetheless, it is advisable to monitor subsequent sliding or spot rounds, as vacancies can arise due to candidate withdrawals or seat upgradation.

For NIPER Hyderabad, the cut-offs have generally extended slightly higher compared to Mohali, which means your AIR of 472 affords you a reasonable opportunity, particularly during Round 2 or in later sliding rounds.

Recommended steps:

1. Include both Mohali and Hyderabad at the top of your preference list.

2. Consider additional options such as NIPER Guwahati or NIPER Raebareli, where the cut-off ranks tend to be more accommodating.

3. Consistently check the official NIPER counselling portal for updates, seat matrices, and round-wise allotment announcements.

If you require further details regarding branch-wise cut-offs or alternative program recommendations, please let me know. Wishing you success in your NIPER admission process.

Hello

All India Rank of 472 and General Category Rank 186 in NIPER JEE 2025 , getting Pharmacology or Toxicology at NIPER Mohali or Hyderabad is highly competitive.

NIPER Mohali : Very tough , top 100–150 ranks usually secure core branches.

NIPER Hyderabad : Slightly better chances but Pharmacology/Toxicology may still be difficult at your rank.

You may get lower-preference courses or NIPERs like Raebareli, Guwahati,  more easily.
