Chandigarh College of Pharmacy (CCP), Landran, is a premier institution under the umbrella of Chandigarh Group of Colleges (CGC). Located in S.A.S Nagar (Mohali), Punjab, it has established itself as a leader in pharmaceutical education in North India. For the 2026 academic year, the college continues to focus on research-driven education and industry-aligned training.

The college offers a diverse range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs designed to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare sector. The most sought-after programs for 2026 include:

• B.Pharm Admission: Based on 10+2 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics.

Important Dates (Tentative):

Note: Check exact dates on the official exam and college websites.

Note: These are approximate figures based on past trends, not official cutoffs. Check the latest official counselling cutoff before applying.

Cutoffs for 2026 are expected to remain competitive due to the increasing demand for pharmacy professionals. For B.Pharm, general category students usually require an aggregate of 65% to 75% in their 12th standard (PCM/PCB) to secure a seat through the initial rounds of counseling. For M.Pharm, a valid GPAT score significantly lowers the cutoff requirements for specialized branches like Pharmaceutics.

The 2025 placement season saw a robust participation from national and international pharmaceutical giants. The college's proximity to the Baddi industrial hub (Asia's largest pharma hub) and the Mohali IT/Healthcare cluster provides a distinct advantage.
