Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research
Chennai, Tamil Nadu
Overview
Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, in Chennai, runs medical and pharmacy programmes taught by 331 faculty for around 1,852 students. In NIRF 2025, it was ranked #21 in the Medical category with a score of 61.54 out of 100, and #36 in Pharmacy with a score of 55.99 out of 100 — a combination that few institutes offering both disciplines can show together.
Placement data for 2023-24 shows the medical PG programme (3 years) graduated 181 students with 155 placed, at a median salary of 25 LPA. The medical UG track has posted median salaries around 12.5 LPA in recent years, with 195 of 239 placed in 2022-23. Pharmacy outcomes vary more by level: the 2-year PG pharmacy course placed 72 of 77 graduates at a median of 6.2 LPA, while the 4-year pharmacy UG programme placed only 32 of its 90 graduates, at a median of 4.2 LPA.
Across the last four years, medical UG placement numbers have held fairly steady — 154 of 243 placed in 2020-21, rising to 195 of 239 in 2022-23 — while medical PG salaries have climbed from 19.5 LPA in 2021-22 to 25 LPA in 2023-24. For applicants, the gap between medical and pharmacy outcomes, and between PG and UG pharmacy tracks, is worth weighing against the specific programme being considered.
