About Sarada Vilas College of Pharmacy Mysore
Sarada Vilas College of Pharmacy has been in Mysuru since 1990 — the same era as JSS College of Pharmacy's expansion, when Mysuru was establishing itself as a pharmacy education hub in Karnataka. Run by the Sarada Vilas Educational Trust — the same group behind Sarada Vilas College (arts and science) in Mysuru — affiliated to RGUHS, PCI-approved. B.Pharm seats through KCET. It's a private unaided college that has operated for over three decades in a city with strong competition from JSS, Farooqia, and Government Pharmacy College Mysuru.

Mysuru Pharmacy College Comparison — Where Sarada Vilas Fits
Mysuru has three private pharmacy colleges and one government college covered on this site. Knowing where each sits helps you make a realistic KCET option entry:
| College | Type | KCET GM Rank Range (B.Pharm) | Key Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| JSS College of Pharmacy | Private aided | 15,000–40,000 | NIRF top 15, research, Pharm.D |
| Govt. Pharmacy College Mysuru | Government | 20,000–60,000 | Lowest fees, state credential |
| Farooqia College of Pharmacy | Private (minority) | 80,000–1,80,000 | Established 1991, Mysuru location |
| Sarada Vilas College of Pharmacy | Private unaided | 1,00,000–2,00,000+ | Longest-running private option after JSS |
Sarada Vilas is the fallback for students who want to stay in Mysuru but don't get seats at JSS, the government college, or Farooqia. The RGUHS B.Pharm degree it awards carries the same regulatory standing. What's lower is placement infrastructure relative to JSS — which has decades of research and industry connections that Sarada Vilas can't match at the same depth.
Fees and KCET Cutoff
As a private unaided college, B.Pharm fees follow the Karnataka fee committee structure — typically ₹50,000–₹85,000 per year. Mysuru's cost of living is lower than Bangalore.
