About Government Pharmacy College Raichur
Raichur sits in one of Karnataka's more industrially distinct districts — home to the Raichur Thermal Power Station, one of the state's largest power plants, and a significant coal and mining economy. Government Pharmacy College Raichur, established in 1996 and affiliated to RGUHS, serves pharmacy students from Raichur, Koppal, and parts of Ballari and Yadgir districts. Like Government Pharmacy College Kalaburagi (ID 537 on this site), it's in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region — which means Article 371(J) reservation benefits apply for local students. State-regulated fees, KCET admission, PCI-approved.

Article 371(J) — Local Advantage
Students who are residents of the six Hyderabad-Karnataka districts — Raichur, Koppal, Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Bidar, and Ballari — qualify for HK region reservation at government institutions in this area. At Government Pharmacy College Raichur, this means local students compete in a separate HK quota rather than the open General Merit pool — significantly improving their chances of securing a government seat. Bring a valid domicile certificate from your HK district during KEA counselling.
KCET Cutoff
General Merit closing ranks fall approximately in the 60,000–1,40,000 range for B.Pharm. HK quota students get in at higher ranks. For the exact 2025 category-wise and HK-quota data, check the KEA official allotment PDFs at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in — the HK quota breakdown is published separately in the seat matrix.
Career Paths from Raichur
Raichur's industrial base — power sector, mining, agriculture — creates demand for safety officers and regulatory compliance roles where pharmacy graduates with chemistry backgrounds are eligible. KPSC pharmacist recruitment for district hospital and taluk hospital positions in Raichur and Koppal is the primary government employment pathway. The Hyderabad border proximity also opens pharmaceutical industry job access in Telangana's Hyderabad pharma cluster — within 3 hours by road from Raichur.
