About Shree Devi College of Pharmacy
Shree Devi College of Pharmacy opened in 2000 — making it one of the younger pharmacy colleges in Mangaluru, a city that already had NGSM, Yenepoya, Srinivas, and Father Muller operating by the time Shree Devi started. Run by the Shree Devi Educational Trust, located in Kenjar on the outskirts of Mangaluru, affiliated to RGUHS, PCI-approved. The Shree Devi group also runs an engineering college. B.Pharm seats through KCET.

Choosing Between Mangaluru Pharmacy Colleges

| College | Hospital Access | Est. | KCET Rank Range (GM, B.Pharm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Father Muller Pharmacy | Father Muller Hospital — on campus, 900+ beds | 1999 | 40,000–1,00,000 |
| NGSM IPS | Justice K.S. Hegde Hospital — on campus | 1996 | 40,000–1,00,000 |

Shree Devi's KCET closing ranks are more accessible — it's a realistic option for students whose scores don't land them in the top four. The RGUHS B.Pharm degree is identical in standing. What's different is placement infrastructure and clinical training access, which matters most for Pharm.D (Shree Devi primarily runs B.Pharm and M.Pharm).
Fees and KCET Cutoff
B.Pharm fees follow the Karnataka fee committee structure — typically ₹50,000–₹85,000 per year. General Merit KCET closing ranks fall in the 1,00,000–2,00,000+ range. Mangaluru's cost of living is lower than Bangalore. For exact 2025 round-wise data, check cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
