PharmD Colleges in Karnataka 2026-27

Pharmacy Doctoral

Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) is a 6-year clinical pharmacy degree (including 1 year residency) focused on patient care, drug therapy management and hospital pharmacy practice. This is the most advanced pharmacy qualification, preparing graduates for clinical pharmacist roles in hospitals. Available at select pharmacy colleges in Karnataka with fees from Rs 50,000 to Rs 2.5 lakh per year. PharmD graduates work alongside doctors in hospitals, managing drug interactions, adverse effects, and personalised medication plans. Starting salaries range from Rs 4-7 LPA in hospital settings. The programme suits pharmacy students who want direct patient interaction rather than traditional pharmaceutical industry roles. PharmD is gaining recognition in India as hospitals increasingly adopt clinical pharmacy services.
