Overview

About the program.

Bachelor of Pharmacy

B.Pharmacy at Vaagdevi is taught as a laboratory-first program. From the first semester, students spend roughly equal hours in lectures and in the lab, building the practical instincts that distinguish a working pharmacist from a textbook one.

The curriculum follows the PCI regulations and is regularly updated by the Board of Studies. Industry electives in the later years let students lean into the discipline they're most interested in — formulation, analysis, pharmacology or natural products.
