Should I opt for distance PGDM from NMIMS or look for other colleges for distance MBA?

Hi.

Yes — to a large extent, the curriculum of SVKM NMIMS's pharmacy programme is broadly similar in structure and content to that of Dnyaan Prasad Global University (DPGU)'s School of Pharmacy and Research (SPR). But there are also some differences — especially in electives, specializations, optional add‑ons, and possibly depth of research exposure. Below I compare how they align, and where you may see variation — which helps if you are thinking of DPGU‑SPR but want to know if you are missing out compared to a reputed college like NMIMS.

• Standard structure (B.Pharm, semester‑based, 8 semesters / 4 years)

• NMIMS offers its B.Pharm as a 4‑year, 8‑semester programme. 

• DPGU‑SPR also offers B.Pharm over 4 years / 8 semesters

• This matches the general regulatory structure defined by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), which both institutions reference.

• Core pharmacy subjects covered

Both curricula include the core common pharmacy‑science foundation: Pharmaceutical Chemistry (organic, inorganic), Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Anatomy & Physiology, and other standard courses that are typical of a B.Pharm programme under PCI guidelines. For example: NMIMS's first‑year includes “Human Anatomy and Physiology I”, “Pharmaceutical Analysis”, “Pharmaceutics I”, “Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry”, etc.
Similarly, DPGU‑SPR's B.Pharm (and other pharmacy degrees) are structured to meet standard pharmacy‑science instruction, preparing students for roles in industry, hospital/clinical pharmacy, regulatory, research, etc.

• Progression to higher studies / specialisation / scope for postgraduate / professional degrees

• NMIMS offers B.Pharm → M.Pharm, and also integrated or specialised pathways (e.g. B.Pharm + MBA in Pharma Tech).

• DPGU‑SPR likewise offers multiple courses beyond B.Pharm: M.Pharm, Pharm.D (or post‑B.Pharm.D), advanced diploma/certificate courses, MSc (Pharmaceutical Analysis), PhD, and even integrated B.Pharm + MBA (Pharm Technology). 

• This similarity in offering postgraduate / professional course tracks means that the academic progression available at SPR is comparable to what NMIMS provides.

• Regulatory compliance & academic standards reference

• NMIMS follows the PCI‑approved curriculum structure for B.Pharm (credit‑based semester system, subject‑wise distribution, etc.).DPGU‑SPR claims PCI approval (as per its public documents for its pharmacy courses) and offers PCI‑recognised degrees. 

• Because both align to PCI guidelines, the broad pharmacy‑education framework (subjects, credit/semester structure, practical + theory, eligibility requirements) is comparable.
