Oriental College of Pharmacy Sanpada Review 2026: Fees, Cutoff & Placements

1. Introduction: The "Modern Face" of Navi Mumbai

If you are looking for a college that balances Modern Infrastructure with good academics, Oriental College of Pharmacy (OCP), Sanpada is a strong contender.

Ranked #13 in our Mumbai list, OCP has rapidly gained popularity because of its strategic location (Sanpada Station) and its impressive 7-story glass-facade building.

In this Oriental College of Pharmacy review, we decode whether this college is just "good looks" or if the education matches the hype.

2. Oriental College of Pharmacy Review

Unlike older government colleges with crumbling walls, OCP feels new and fresh.

• The Building: A massive, modern structure that looks more like a corporate office than a college.

• Labs: Extremely well-equipped with the latest HPLC and UV-Spectrophotometers. The college invests heavily in equipment.

• Location: This is the biggest selling point. It is literally 2 minutes walking distance from Sanpada Railway Station (Harbour Line). You save hours of travel time compared to colleges in remote areas.

3. OCP Sanpada B.Pharm Cutoff 2026 (Rising Popularity)

Because it is one of the few "good" colleges in Navi Mumbai, the cutoff has been rising steadily.

Expected MHT CET 2026 Cutoff:

• Open Category: 91.50% - 93.50%

• OBC Category: 89.00% - 91.00%

• SC / ST Category: 80.00% - 85.00%

• Institute Level Seats: 20% of seats are available. Students with 85-90% often secure admission here through the Institute Level round if they miss the CAP cutoff.

4. Fee Structure: Mid-Range Premium

It is a private unaided college, so fees are standard for Mumbai private institutes.

Category	Approx. Annual Fees	4-Year Total Estimate
Open / General	₹ 1,56,000 - ₹ 1,60,000	Approx. ₹ 6.3 Lakhs
OBC / EBC	₹ 85,000 - ₹ 90,000	Approx. ₹ 3.5 Lakhs
SC / ST	₹ 0 - ₹ 5,000	Negligible

Verdict: For ₹6 Lakhs, you get excellent infrastructure. If you compare it to KMKCP (₹1.3L), it's expensive. But compared to MET Bandra (₹7.5L), it's reasonable.

5. Placements: Decent ROI

OCP has a dedicated placement cell that works hard to bring companies to campus.

• Average Package: ₹ 3.0 LPA - ₹ 4.0 LPA

• Highest Package: ₹ 6.5 LPA (Usually in Marketing/Sales)

• Top Recruiters: TCS (Data/Pharmacovigilance), Cipla, Rubicon, Neon Labs.

• Internships: The college is very proactive in providing industrial training in the nearby TTC Industrial Area (Rabale/Mahape).
