About Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MCOPS), Manipal
Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences is a pharmacy college in Manipal, Karnataka, established in 1963. It is affiliated to Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE). Its programmes are approved by the PCI. Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences offers 15 programmes, 3 at undergraduate level and 11 at postgraduate level. These include B.Pharm, Pharm, B.Pharm Lateral Entry, Pharm D Post Baccalaureate and D.Pharm, among others. MCOPS is a constituent unit of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal. The official 2026 admissions pages support B.Pharm, Pharm.D and Pharm.D Post Baccalaureate academic details. Kasturba Hospital's 2,032 beds are reported only as the hospital used for Pharm.D clinical training, not as college beds. The brochure states pilot-plant-scale equipment and a central animal research facility, but does not establish CPCSEA registration; it also lists Micromedex and drug-information sources without explicitly naming a Drug Information Centre. MCOPS's official About page reports 68 faculty, while no dated rank-wise faculty breakdown was published in the retrieved sources. Research figures in the 2025-26 brochure include 21 patents granted, 60 crore total grants, and 3,527 Scopus-indexed publications; these are institutional MCOPS brochure figures and are not restricted to a single recent year. MCOPS is a constituent unit/institute of the deemed university Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), not a separately affiliated state-university college. The college website states that DPharm began in 1963, BPharm in 1965, MPharm in 1970 and PharmD in 2008. The current 2026 MAHE counselling brochure names MCOPS as the participating constituent institute and specifies MET-based counselling for BPharm/PharmD. No 2026-27 PCI approval status or sanctioned intake was published in the opened PCI pages. The 940 student figure is the sum of programme counts printed on the current MCOPS page (DPharm 54, BPharm 434, PharmD 176, PharmD Post Bacc 14, MPharm 262); it is therefore a college-reported profile total, not an intake figure. The 150,000 figure is library floor area in square feet, not book volume; it is recorded as an other campus fact because the source does not publish a volume count.
