About KVG College of Pharmacy Sullia
Sullia taluk in Dakshina Kannada has two KVG pharmacy colleges — and this is the newer one, established in 2003, a decade after the original KVG Pharmacy College (ID 1088, established 1993). Both are RGUHS-affiliated, both are PCI-approved, and both are in Sullia. The existence of two institutions under the same KVG name in the same town is unusual — verify the exact institution code in the KEA KCET brochure before filling your option entry to ensure you select the college you intend.
