About Chebrolu Hanumaiah Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences
CHIPS focuses heavily on practical lab hours, not classroom lectures alone.
Located in Guntur's educational belt, this institute forces you to get your hands dirty in formulation and drug analysis early on. You will spend more hours measuring reagents and calibrating instruments than listening to abstract theories. The affiliation with Acharya Nagarjuna University ensures the curriculum follows structured guidelines, but the faculty expects you to look beyond textbooks to survive the rigorous weekly lab assessments.

- Register for the state convener web counseling, selecting CHIPS as your preferred choice using the college code: CHIP.
