Overview
About CL Baid Metha College of Pharmacy
C.L. Baid Metha College of Pharmacy is a pharmacy college in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, established in 1980. C.L. Baid Metha College of Pharmacy is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University. Its programmes are approved by the PCI. C.L. Baid Metha College of Pharmacy offers 5 programmes, 2 at undergraduate level and 4 at postgraduate level. They are Diploma in Pharmacy, B.Pharm, B.Pharm (Lateral Entry), Pharm and Master of Pharmacy. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 90 seats. Official college and PCI Standard Inspection Form evidence identifies the institution as C L Baid Mehta College of Pharmacy (PCI-282), a private college established in 1980-81 at Thoraipakkam, Chennai, managed by Tamilnadu Chemists and Druggists Educational Trust and affiliated to The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University. The PCI SIF opened is for 2025-26 but reports approval/intake data for the 2023-24 session; it lists B.Pharm 100, D.Pharm 60, M.Pharm specialisations 15 each, and Pharm.D 30. The college website describes Pharm.D as five academic years plus one hospital internship year and states at least 80% attendance separately in theory and practical subjects. The college website contains current-looking 2026 references, but the structured figures above are tied to their stated source years. Official pages state that the college was inaugurated on 13 July 1980 and is owned and managed by Tamilnadu Chemists and Druggists Educational Trust. The 2025-26 PCI Standard Inspection Form uses the spelling “C L Baid Mehta College Of Pharmacy,” identifies it as a private institute, and reports programme approval/intake details for 2023-24 rather than the target 2026-27 session. The college website claims AICTE and PCI approval, but no current 2026-27 regulator approval status was established from an opened regulator list. The SIF states that the institution is not currently accredited by NBA or NIRF.
