Established in 1995 and affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), it's located in south Bangalore, near the PES University main campus at Hanumanthnagar. PCI and AICTE approvals are in place. B.Pharm seats are filled through KCET.

Campus
The college benefits from proximity to the broader PES campus infrastructure, which includes labs, library, sports facilities, and a hostel. For pharmacy students, PCI-mandated lab requirements — pharmaceutics, pharmacology, pharmacognosy, and chemistry — are met on campus. The south Bangalore location means the Jayanagar and Banashankari hospital belt is accessible for internships and Pharm.D clinical hours.
Placements
B.Pharm graduates from PES College of Pharmacy find work in Bangalore's pharmaceutical companies and hospital pharmacy departments. The PES brand recognition is stronger in engineering than pharmacy, but RGUHS affiliation levels the playing field — the degree itself carries the same weight as any other RGUHS-affiliated B.Pharm in Karnataka. Starting salaries: ₹2.5–3.5 lakh per annum for B.Pharm; M.Pharm opens ₹3.5–5 lakh roles in QA and R&D.
