Vinayaka Mission's Research Foundation

Pharmacy at Vinayaka Mission's Research Foundation in Salem, Tamil Nadu, runs across 632 students taught by 63 faculty members. The institute placed #99 in the NIRF Pharmacy 2025 rankings, with a score of 41.55 out of 100.

Placement records over the last three years show a clear gap between the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. In 2023-24, the 4-year Pharmacy UG course saw 68 of 96 graduates placed at a median salary of 3 LPA, up from 45 of 82 the year before and 43 of 108 in 2021-22. The postgraduate courses placed almost everyone: the 2-year PG programme placed 17 of 17 graduates in 2023-24 at a median of 4.26 LPA, close to the 22 of 22 and 23 of 23 placed in the two years before that, each at a median of 4 LPA. The 6-year PG track placed 19 of 21 in 2023-24 at 4.8 LPA, while the smaller 3-year PG cohort placed all its graduates each year, with median salaries between 4.25 and 4.72 LPA.

For someone weighing this college, the postgraduate pharmacy programmes have placed nearly every graduating student for three years running, at salaries higher than the undergraduate course, which places a smaller share of a larger batch.
