Located in Gorakhpur, Sardar Patel College of Pharmacy is a private institution that has been a significant name for pharmaceutical education in the region since its establishment in 2005. The college is affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow, and holds essential approvals from the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), which ensures its curriculum and infrastructure meet national standards. While it doesn't feature in the national NIRF rankings, it is considered a reputable choice for students in the Purvanchal area. The college primarily focuses on core pharmacy education, offering a two-year Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharm) and a four-year Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) program. For students aiming for the B.Pharm course in the 2025 academic session, admission will be based on CUET scores, followed by the UPTAC counselling process for seat allocation. The approximate first-year fee for the B.Pharm program is expected to be around INR 95,000, making it an accessible option for many aspiring pharmacists. While the final placement reports for the 2025 and 2026 batches are yet to be compiled, looking at recent trends gives a fair idea of what to expect. In the previous placement season, students from the B.Pharm course secured a median package of approximately INR 3.8 LPA. The highest package offered was around INR 6.5 LPA. The placement cell actively connects students with opportunities in pharmaceutical manufacturing, marketing, and R&D sectors, with several regional and national companies participating in the recruitment drives.
