ICT Mumbai B.Tech Pharmaceuticals Chemistry And Technology: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The B.Tech in Pharmaceuticals Chemistry and Technology at ICT Mumbai is a 4-year full-time undergraduate programme offered by the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology, one of the most prestigious pharmaceutical technology departments in India. Established in the 1940s as B.Sc. (Tech.) in Pharmaceuticals and Fine Chemicals, the programme focuses on the manufacturing process technology and chemistry of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), intermediates, fine chemicals, and development of dosage forms. The course integrates a strong foundation in chemical engineering, organic chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmacology. The total fees for the programme is approximately Rs. 1.33 Lakhs for the entire 4-year duration (General category), with an annual tuition fee of Rs. 15,000 per year. The course has an intake of 18 to 21 seats and is admitted primarily through MHT CET. The UGC has recognised the department as a Centre of Advanced Studies in Pharmaceutical Science and Technology. The programme is highly sought after for its niche focus on pharmaceutical manufacturing technology, strong industry linkages, and excellent prospects for higher studies and careers in the API and pharmaceutical industry.

Admissions for the 2026-27 academic year are currently upcoming. The MHT CET 2026 (PCM) exam is ongoing (April 11 to April 27, 2026), and CAP counselling for B.Tech admissions is expected to begin in late June/July 2026 after the MHT CET result is declared in June 2026.

Key Points
