About Shree Dhanvantary Pharmacy College
Most pharmacy colleges in the Surat region are squeezed into cramped city blocks, but this campus sits out in Kim, positioned right next to South Gujarat's active chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing belt. This location swaps standard academic isolation for direct, daily proximity to functional production plants. Students here spend less time dreaming about industrial-scale chemical processing and more time watching it operate first-hand.

Admission Process
Admission to the undergraduate programs operates systematically through the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) state-level allocation system. Rather than administering a standalone institute exam, the selection process relies strictly on your state-level GUJCET performance paired alongside your board results. The state body publishes periodic cutoff ranks, letting you know whether you qualify for the allotted spots at the Kim campus.
Once the ACPC lists confirm your selection, you need to visit the administrative office on the Kim-Kudsad road campus. You will submit your original mark sheets, school leaving certificate, and official seat allotment letter to the administrative staff for verification, finalizing your enrollment via the prescribed initial semester fee payment.
