Why study D.Pharm at SHEAT College of Pharmacy?
A pharmacy-only campus with a long track record
SHEAT College of Pharmacy started in 2007 at Gahani Ayer, on the quieter, greener outskirts of Varanasi. The campus is used for pharmacy and higher education, not engineering. Your classrooms, labs and faculty are all focused on pharmaceutical sciences.
Labs built to PCI norms
D.Pharm students work in dedicated labs for Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy, Pharmacology, and Hospital and Clinical Pharmacy. The Hospital and Clinical Pharmacy lab has a mock pharmacy with medicine storage, so you practise reading prescriptions and counselling patients before you meet real ones.
Teachers who know diploma students
The D.Pharm department has a dedicated team of assistant professors and lecturers. They are supported by the wider pharmacy faculty of 25+ members who also teach B.Pharm and M.Pharm. Classes are small enough for teachers to follow each student's practical work.
A clear path to B.Pharm
Many D.Pharm students go on to a degree. With a D.Pharm from a PCI-approved institution, you can apply for B.Pharm lateral entry directly into the 3rd semester on the same campus. See the B.Pharm course page.
Support beyond the classroom
- A Career Guidance & Placement Cell that arranges industrial visits, guest lectures and campus drives
- Separate hostels for boys and girls, with Wi-Fi, mess and CCTV security
- A pharmacy library with 8,100+ volumes and 14 journals
- Help with the UP Post-Matric Scholarship and fee reimbursement
