Admission:

I choose this college because its only one Government college in karnataka with very less fees compared to all other colleges. Also college is located in Bangalore center and it has good name in the market field. Admission process is simple. You should attend the UGCET which is conducted by the KEA. After counselling in KEA website you should choose Government college of pharmacy bengaluru during counselling. The B pharm. Rank is given separately based on that you will get this college. To get admission in this college your rank should be within 20,000 in UGCET.

Admission:

For Bachelor in Pharmacy, admission is done on the basis of the rank obtained from Kcet (Karnataka CET) exam. And if the seats were left then those seats will be distributed on the basis of PU marks. For diploma in pharmacy also the seats are given on the basis of Kcet and merit. I chose this college over many other colleges because its the one and only government college of pharmacy in Karnataka. And knowledge can be acquired much because of strict examinations and faculty. Goods- there's a good environment with friends and all for studies and the certificate from government college is more valuable for placements and all. Bads- you cannot enjoy college life much as compared to private colleges (one can understand how GOVERNMENT colleges will be). This college belongs to the Rajiv Gandhi University of health sciences and the website is rguhs.in. and you can access to all notifications about colleges on that website only. Hope I've given a brief and well defined review of our college.
