Gujarat Pharmacy Colleges in Rank Bands

These colleges appear in NIRF 2025 but are not assigned individual ranks — they fall within the following rank bands. Scores are not published for band colleges.

Rank 102-125
  • Ganpat University Ganpat Vidyanagar, Mehsana
  • Marwadi University Rajkot

Present in NIRF 2024, Absent from NIRF 2025

  • Dharmsinh Desai University (was rank/band 101-125)
  • Uka Tarsadia University, Bardoli (was rank/band 91)

These colleges participated in NIRF 2024 but did not submit data or qualify for NIRF 2025. This does not necessarily mean the college has closed or declined — participation is voluntary.

How to Use This List

  • The India # column shows the college's national rank among all Pharmacy colleges — useful for comparing Gujarat colleges against the national best.
  • The ▲/▼ vs 2024 column shows rank improvement or decline compared to NIRF 2024. A rising college often signals improving quality.
  • Rank-band colleges (if listed above) are ranked somewhere within that band nationally — they are accredited but NIRF does not release individual ranks for them.
  • Use NIRF score rather than rank alone to compare close-ranked colleges — a difference of 1 rank can mean just 0.1 score points.
  • NIRF rankings reflect academic quality and research output. For placement records, fee structure, and campus facilities, refer to the college's official website and NIRF disclosure reports at nirfindia.org.
