Dnyaan Prasad Global University - Dr. D.Y. Patil Unitech Society Pune Answered Questions

Hi.Yes — the pharmacy‑programmes at Dnyaan Prasad Global University (DPGU)'s School of Pharmacy and Research (SPR) — formerly known as Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research (DYP‑IPSR), Pimpri, Pune — appear to be recognised by Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). Here's the evidence and caveats.On SPR / DYP‑IPSR's own profile page, they state that “All the courses are recognised by PCI”. There is an official “Decision Letter” from PCI listing SPR (as “Dr D Y Patil … Pimpri Pune, PCI‑558”) as an institute approved for pharmacy courses.Independent college‑listing portals also describe SPR as “approved by PCI” (as well as by All India Council for Technical Education — AICTE). The eligibility criteria page for SPR mentions that admissions are allowed if the qualifying qualification is “approved by the Pharmacy Council of India (as equivalent)” — implying PCI recognition is central to admission norms.

Hi.DPGU describes itself as “Recognised by University Grants Commission (UGC)” on its official website.The “Mandatory Disclosure” page of DPGU mentions that the university is recognised under Section 2 (f) (and 12 (B) of the UGC Act.On external listings summarizing SPR, the institute is described as “UGC-approved private university”. So at the university level, DPGU appears to have UGC recognition — that generally means the university (and its constituent schools, like SPR) are officially “recognized” under UGC.

In general, Somaiya Vidyavihar performs better than DPGU with respect to placements for MBA students. Somaiya has more seniority, better access to industry contacts, and is more consistently recruiting from higher tier firms. Also, being located in Mumbai gives all the students access to higher opportunities for corporate exposure and internships. DPGU is still new and in development stages, so their placement record remains in development as well. They do get companies like Wipro and TCS to campus, but Somaiya is seeing more consistent roles and at higher package earners. If your first priority in school is job outcomes and ROI, Somaiya is generally going to be the better option, especially for those students wanting to pursue finance, consulting, or marketing type roles.
