About HKDET Pharmacy College Gulbarga PG
HKDET runs two pharmacy institutions in Kalaburagi — and this is the postgraduate one. HKDET Pharmacy College (established 1994, ID 538 on this site) handles B.Pharm through KCET. HKDET Pharmacy College PG (this institution, established 1993 — notably one year earlier) offers M.Pharm through PGCET and GPAT. Both are under the Hyderabad Karnataka District Education Trust (HKDET), both are RGUHS-affiliated, and both are in Kalaburagi. The PG wing pre-dates the UG college, suggesting HKDET started with postgraduate programmes before expanding to undergraduate pharmacy.

Why M.Pharm in Kalaburagi
For B.Pharm graduates from the HK region who want to do M.Pharm without relocating to Bangalore or Mysuru, HKDET PG offers an RGUHS M.Pharm at significantly lower cost of living. Kalaburagi has Gulbarga University and a growing research ecosystem in the region. Article 371(J) provisions give HK-region students reservation in government-quota M.Pharm seats here — meaning local students compete within the HK quota rather than the open General Merit pool through PGCET.
Admission — PGCET and GPAT
Karnataka PGCET (at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in) is the state route for M.Pharm government-quota seats. GPAT (at gpat.nta.nic.in) qualifies you for merit seats nationally and for RGUHS scholarship support. HK-region students applying through PGCET should ensure their HK domicile certificate is current — this is the document that triggers Article 371(J) reservation in the seat allotment process.
