Overview

About Visveswarapura Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Visveswarapura Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences is a pharmacy college in Bengaluru, Karnataka, established in 1980. Visveswarapura Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Karnataka. Its programmes are approved by the PCI. Visveswarapura Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences offers 6 programmes, 2 at undergraduate level and 6 at postgraduate level. These include D.Pharm, B.Pharm, B.Pharm lateral entry, Pharm D (Post Baccalaureate) and M.Pharm, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 10 seats. Official college sources identify VIPS as a private pharmacy institution established in 1980, managed by Rajya Vokkaligara Sangha, affiliated to RGUHS and recognized/approved by PCI. The college website lists D.Pharm, B.Pharm, M.Pharm, Pharm.D and PhD. The PCI approved-degree page explicitly reports PCI code 2632 and B.Pharm approval extended through the 2023-2024 session for 100 admissions; this is historical and does not establish 2026-27 approval. The SIF report is for 2022-2023 and reports course intakes and 34 listed staff. It names KIMS Hospital only as a landmark, not as a formal clinical tie-up, so no hospital relationship or bed count is attributed. No official 2026-27 programme-specific approval, faculty breakdown, attendance minimum, medium of instruction, named hospital MoU, industry tie-up, or research numeric totals were found. The college website uses both “Visveswarapura” and “Visweswarapura” spellings. It states that the institution was founded by Rajya Vokkaligara Sangha, is affiliated to RGUHS and recognized by PCI. The PCI pages opened provide historical approval through academic session 2023-2024, not confirmation for the target 2026-27 session.
