Acharya pharmacy KCET cutoff 2026
In one line: KEA’s second-round provisional result, generated 23 August 2026, records a GM closing rank of 28,184 for B.Pharm and 14,136.5 for Pharm.D at B002. These are historical provisional results, not final-round guarantees.
| Programme | Seat type | Category | Closing rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.Pharm | Rest of Karnataka | GM | 28,184 |
| Pharm.D | Rest of Karnataka | GM | 14,136.5 |
Official source: KEA UGCET 2026 second-round provisional B.Pharm cutoff ranks, page 1.
Official source: KEA UGCET 2026 second-round provisional Pharm-D cutoff ranks, page 1.
Use the correct programme, round, seat type and category. Preserve the decimal in the Pharm.D rank; it appears in KEA’s original document. A closing rank describes that allotment only and cannot promise a later seat.
Published pharmacy intake
In one line: the college’s NIRF 2026 submission reports sanctioned 2024-25 intake of 100 for UG four-year programmes, 72 for PG two-year, 10 for PG three-year and 30 for six-year programmes. These historical reporting categories are not a 2026 seat matrix.
Official source: ABMRCP NIRF 2026 submitted institutional data, sanctioned intake, page 1.
For choice filling, use the admission-year KEA seat matrix and the course-specific approval published by the institution. Do not substitute a prior-year sanctioned intake for the seats available in a current round.
B.Pharm and Pharm.D eligibility
In one line: the degree routes have different eligibility and duration; a D.Pharm qualification does not automatically mean fourth-year entry into the six-year Pharm.D.
The college’s B.Pharm page states four years and a 10+2/equivalent qualification with 45% aggregate in its specified science-subject combination. The Pharm.D page states Physics and Chemistry with Mathematics/Biology, or a Diploma in Pharmacy, and age 17 by 31 December of the admission year. Pharm.D consists of five years of study plus one internship/residency year.
Official source: ABMRCP B.Pharm programme: duration and eligibility.
Official source: ABMRCP Pharm.D programme: duration and eligibility.
Check the applicable KEA eligibility clauses and approved subject combination for your counselling route before registering. B.Pharm and Pharm.D government-share admission is through KEA; COMEDK UGET is not the pharmacy admission route.
Pharmacy admission process: KEA and direct applications
In one line: select the programme and admission route first, then use its official application and allotment instructions.
- Check B.Pharm or Pharm.D eligibility on the college’s programme page and KEA portal.
- For a KEA seat, complete registration and document verification, then enter B002 and the appropriate programme in your choices.
- Read the seat category, course and fee on the allotment letter before accepting.
- Report with originals and pay through the institution’s official channel against a receipt.
- For an institution application, use the application linked from the official college site and obtain the written course-specific fee offer.
Official source: KEA UGCET 2026 portal and admission instructions.
Documents and fee-category evidence
In one line: match the document list to your route and concession claim. Keep Class 10/12 records, entrance and allotment records, identification, and applicable category/income certificates ready. Follow the document checklist issued with your admission instructions; an income concession depends on accepted supporting evidence.
Official source: KEA UGCET admission and document-verification instructions.
Pharmacy placements: college-specific outcomes
In one line: ABMRCP’s NIRF 2026 submission reports a ₹5.30 lakh median annual salary for placed UG four-year graduates in 2024-25. This is pharmacy-college data, not the Acharya group’s headline package.
| Graduating year | UG four-year graduates in minimum time | Placed | Median salary of placed graduates | Selected for higher studies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | 82 | 47 | ₹3,75,000 | 33 |
| 2023-24 | 96 | 43 | ₹4,25,000 | 53 |
| 2024-25 | 98 | 42 | ₹5,30,000 | 56 |
Official source: ABMRCP NIRF 2026 submission, UG four-year placement and higher-study table, page 3.
The median describes placed graduates only. Higher-study selections are reported separately and must not be added to placements to advertise a placement rate. In the same 2024-25 submission, six-year programmes report 22 placements, ₹5.55 lakh median and 4 higher-study selections among 26 minimum-time graduates; keep that scope separate from the four-year course.
Acharya campus hostel
In one line: Acharya’s group brochure describes 12 residences, five for boys and seven for girls, with single, double and triple occupancy. These are shared-campus facilities rather than a pharmacy-only capacity.
The brochure describes wardens, Wi-Fi, water, backup power, dining and common areas. Obtain the accommodation offer for your room choice and year, with hostel and mess charges itemised separately from the academic schedule.
