JKBOPEE D-Pharmacy 2026 Total Seat Matrix Overview
The seat matrix gives students a consolidated view of all available D-Pharmacy seats before counselling registration opens. The table below shows the expected overall seat distribution based on previous year data. The official seat matrix will confirm these figures once published on jkbopee.gov.in.
| Institute Type | Expected Number of Institutes | Expected Total Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Government Pharmacy Institutes | 4 to 6 | 180 to 240 |
| Private Pharmacy Institutes | 8 to 12 | 300 to 400 |
| Total (Expected) | 12 to 18 | 480 to 640 |
Seats are split between the Jammu division and the Kashmir division to ensure equitable access. All seats — government and private — are filled through JKBOPEE’s centralised counselling process.
Government Institute Seat Distribution
Government pharmacy institutes in J&K are highly preferred due to subsidised tuition and direct state government oversight. The expected seat distribution across government institutes for JKBOPEE D-Pharmacy 2026, based on previous year trends, is listed below.
| Institute Name | Division | Expected Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Government College of Pharmacy, Jammu | Jammu | 60 |
| Government College of Pharmacy, Srinagar | Kashmir | 60 |
| Government Polytechnic College (Pharmacy Wing), Jammu | Jammu | 30 |
| Government Polytechnic College (Pharmacy Wing), Srinagar | Kashmir | 30 |
| Government Pharmacy Institute, Udhampur | Jammu | 30 |
| Government Pharmacy Institute, Anantnag | Kashmir | 30 |
Government institute seats are allotted purely on merit and reservation category. Students with higher JKBOPEE D-Pharmacy ranks have a better chance of securing a seat in a government institute in their preferred division.
Private Institute Seat Distribution
Several JKBOPEE-approved private pharmacy institutes also participate in centralised seat allotment each year. The list of participating private institutes and their seat intake, expected based on previous year trends, is given below. The final approved list will be published in the official JKBOPEE D-Pharmacy 2026 prospectus at jkbopee.gov.in.
| Institute Name | Division | Expected Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Al-Shifa College of Pharmacy, Kupwara | Kashmir | 60 |
| Islamic University of Science and Technology (Pharmacy Dept.), Awantipora | Kashmir | 30 |
| Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (Pharmacy Dept.), Rajouri | Jammu | 30 |
| Central Institute of Pharmacy, Jammu | Jammu | 60 |
| Baba Farid Institute of Health Sciences, Jammu | Jammu | 60 |
| Other Approved Private Institutes (Expected) | Both Divisions | 60 to 160 |
Private institute participation can change year to year based on JKBOPEE approval status. Always verify the final list of participating private institutes in the official JKBOPEE D-Pharmacy 2026 notification before submitting counselling preferences.
