Should you pick D.Pharm at ADBU?

This course suits students who want to work as a pharmacist after two years and can study at the Tapesia campus.

Pick it if:

You want to work within two years: after the D.Pharm you can register as a pharmacist and work in a hospital or a drug store.

You need a hostel near your classes: the course is taught at the Tapesia campus, and its hostel room costs INR 14,000 a semester.

You scored 90% in Class 12: only three students get the INR 30,000 a semester merit award, so take admission early.

You may want a degree later: ADBU also teaches B.Pharm lateral entry, which takes D.Pharm holders straight into the second year.

Skip it if:

You want proof of placements first: ADBU has not published any D.Pharm pay or placement figure, so ask the institute where past students work.

You want meals in the hostel fee: the Tapesia hostel fee covers only the room, so you pay for each meal at the food court.

You want a course with a long record: the Institute of Pharmacy started in 2022, so only a few D.Pharm batches have finished.

You have below 50% in PCB or PCM: the prospectus lists no category relaxation, so you cannot apply this year.

Counsellor's advice

If you have 80% or more in Class 12, apply as soon as the form opens. Merit awards go first come first served at admission.

In short

GCU costs INR 25,000 more over two years and asks a little more in year 1. If you meet the 50% rule at both, ADBU is the cheaper seat, so compare the hostel costs before you pay.

In short

USTM asks for the same 50% but costs INR 79,000 more over the course. If you meet both rules, ADBU costs less, so pick USTM only for a reason the fees cannot show.

In short

RGU costs INR 1.04 Lakhs more and asks for INR 2.20 Lakhs in year 1. If you meet 50% in Class 12, ADBU gives the same diploma for much less money.

In short

Kaziranga asks for only 40% in Class 12 but costs INR 49,000 more and sits in Jorhat. If you have 50% or more, ADBU costs less; if you are below 50%, check Kaziranga.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on ADBU D.Pharm

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is D.Pharm at ADBU worth the fee?▾

Yes, if you want to work as a pharmacist soon. The full fee without hostel is INR 2.66 Lakhs for two years, which is lower than every college in the compare block above. ADBU has not published D.Pharm pay yet, so ask the Institute of Pharmacy where its past students work before you pay.

What job can I get after D.Pharm from ADBU?▾

Most D.Pharm holders work as pharmacists in hospitals or drug stores, or join drug companies in production or sales. After the course you can register as a pharmacist, which also lets you open your own drug store. ADBU has no D.Pharm pay figure yet, so plan for a small first salary and look at hospital job posts in your district.

Should I take D.Pharm or B.Pharm at ADBU?▾

Take D.Pharm if you want to start work in two years and keep the fee low. The D.Pharm fee is INR 2.66 Lakhs without hostel, and both courses need 50% in Class 12. Take B.Pharm if you want industry, research or higher study jobs later, because most of those jobs ask for the degree.

Who should not take this course here?▾

Skip it if you want meals included in the hostel or proven placement data. The Tapesia hostel fee of INR 14,000 a semester covers only the room, and ADBU has not published D.Pharm placement figures. If either matters a lot, visit the campus and talk to the Institute of Pharmacy before you pay the admission fee.

Is this course good for higher studies like B.Pharm?▾

Yes. With a D.Pharm you can join B.Pharm through lateral entry, straight into the second year, and ADBU teaches a B.Pharm lateral entry course. Keep your marks strong in both years. Ask the Institute of Pharmacy about the lateral entry rules before you finish year 2.

Should I wait a year and try for B.Pharm instead?▾

Only if you are sure you want B.Pharm and can afford a gap year. Both courses here need the same 50% in Class 12 and an interview, so a gap year does not make B.Pharm easier to get. If you take D.Pharm now, you can still move to B.Pharm later through lateral entry.

Will I get a placement after D.Pharm here?▾

There is no D.Pharm placement record yet, so do not count on campus jobs. The Institute of Pharmacy started in 2022, and in 2026 Ajanta Pharma picked 4 of its students for internships. Ask the placement office which hospitals and companies visit, and apply to hospitals and drug stores on your own as well.

Is the Tapesia campus right for me if I need a hostel?▾

Yes, if you are fine paying for meals on your own. The hostel room costs INR 14,000 a semester, and you can book it only after you pay the first semester fee. Food is at the food court and Bosco Cafe, paid per meal, so add that cost to your budget.

How do I get admission to D.Pharm at ADBU?▾

Apply online at dbuniversity.ac.in/a and pay the INR 600 form fee. The Admission Office emails you an interview date. If you get the offer, pay the INR 18,000 admission fee by 5 pm that day and the rest within 7 days, or you lose the seat.

What is the full fee for the course?▾

The full two-year fee is INR 2.66 Lakhs without hostel. With the Tapesia hostel room it comes to INR 3.23 Lakhs. The INR 10,000 caution deposit is extra but comes back when you leave, and the fee block above shows each part.

Can I get a scholarship on this course?▾

Yes, if your Class 12 marks are high or you played sport for an NE state. The 90% merit scholarship gives INR 30,000 a semester, the 80% one INR 13,000 and the sports one INR 12,000. Only a few students get each, first come first served, so ask for it on the day you take admission.

Can I pay the fee in parts?▾

Yes. The fee comes in four parts, in July and January of each year. You pay the admission fee by 5 pm on the day of admission and the rest of the first part within 7 days. The later parts are due at the start of each semester.
