A college that started offering a Diploma in Pharmacy (DPharm) education in 1963, became a degree college for a Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) program in 1965. Eventually, MCOPS became the first college to offer a postgraduate course&nbsp;(MPharm) in Karnataka in 1970 and the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program in 2008 in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MCOPS attracts students from far and wide.&nbsp;The institution adheres to all quality measures in terms of imparting education to its students. No wonder then that many of the students of MCOPS easily get GPAT scholarships for pursuing higher education. Those who embark on higher education abroad after their graduation from MCOPS get selected in prestigious international universities of the UK, USA, and Australia to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industries like Ranbaxy, Dr. Reddy\u2019s, Astra Zeneca, Sun Pharma, Biocon, Syngene, Serum Institute, DRG, Johnson&amp;Johnson, Cipla, Lupin, Ranbaxy, and so on have a number of students from MCOPS working in various capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MCOPS, over the past two decades, has received substantial research grants from CSIR, DST, ICMR, UGC, AICTE, DBT, and DAE in addition to many leading Pharmaceutical Industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharm)<\/strong> launched in <strong>1963<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm)<\/strong> from <strong>1965<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First <strong>M.Pharm program in Karnataka<\/strong> in <strong>1970<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First <strong>Pharm.D in the country<\/strong> in <strong>2008<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Highlights <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Details<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Established<\/strong><\/td><td>D.Pharm in 1963, B.Pharm in 1965, M.Pharm in 1970, Pharm.D in 2008<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Affiliation<\/strong><\/td><td>MAHE (Deemed University)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Rankings<\/strong><\/td><td>QS 101\u2013150 (Subject), NIRF Pharmacy 8 (2024)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Programs Offered<\/strong><\/td><td>D.Pharm, B.Pharm, B.Pharm Lateral, M.Pharm (multiple), Pharm.D, Pharm.D PB, Ph.D<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Industry Exposure<\/strong><\/td><td>Ties with leading pharmaceutical firms, strong global research partnerships<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Student-Faculty Legacy<\/strong><\/td><td>Long-standing academic excellence with robust infrastructure<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7a025a54e74b5eed48b21080873eb707\">Campus &amp;
