Hello aspirant,

With your above mentioned rank, although it's quite impressive, but you might get the seat in b pharma in IPT salepur as it is one of the most prestigious colleges and thus it's rank cutoff is high and it keeps on varying every year . So , for you to get a seat there is possible but the chances are much thin.

However , you can definitely get some other good colleges too for bpharma with this impressive rank. So, you can try out on those colleges.

Also, for more information you can check the below article to get complete info about the exam and colleges :
