Placements Run Heavy on Pharma Giants
In 2025, 75% of the batch got placed with an average CTC of ₹3.5L. The recruiter list reads like a directory of Indian pharma royalty — Dr. Reddy's, Aurobindo, Mylan, Novartis, Cipla and Sun Pharmaceutical.
The verdict
Good fit
This program punches above its weight for an AP EAMCET qualifier who wants an accredited, low-debt pharmacy degree with a direct industry pipeline. NAAC A++ and NIRF #34 backing at just ₹45k/year is rare value. The 75% placement rate into names like Dr. Reddy's and Sun Pharma proves the brand works for core pharma manufacturing, QC and regulatory trainee roles. That said, the ₹3.5L average CTC signals modest starting salaries, so if you are chasing dream paydays or cutting-edge R&D straight out of college, plan on upskilling or higher studies later.
