About Sri Siddhartha Pharmacy College Davangere
The Sri Siddhartha group runs pharmacy colleges on two campuses — Tumkur (ID 542 on this site) and Davangere (this college, established 1997). Both are in central Karnataka, both are listed as RGUHS-affiliated, and both carry the same affiliation question: Sri Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education (SSAHE) has deemed university status. Before enrolling at either campus, confirm directly with admissions whether your B.Pharm degree will be issued by RGUHS or Sri Siddhartha University — this affects Karnataka state government pharmacist exam eligibility. B.Pharm through KCET for RGUHS-quota seats.

|---|---|---|---|
| B.Pharm | 4 years | 60–100 | KCET |
