Shirpur, 1st August, 2022: SVKM’s NMIMS School of Pharmacy & Technology Management (SPTM), Shirpur Campus has won accreditation by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for its Bachelor in Pharmacy (B Pharm) undergraduate education program for a period of five years.
Now, the students enrolling for a four-year B Pharm degree course from the current academic year onwards will get an opportunity to complete one more year of education to get an NBA accredited certificate. This signifies that B Pharm degree students at NMIMS Shirpur Campus are accredited by the NBA. This accreditation means the campus follows certain norms as outlined by the regulator and provides a quality education in pharmacy.
In case students are willing to apply for a post graduate program overseas, this NBA accreditation will help them get priority in the selection process against the non-NBA accredited students. Also, the degree accredited by the NBA helps improve employability with chances to get a higher package than non-NBA accredited students.

The NBA is a process of quality assurance and improvement whereby a program in an approved institution is critically appraised to verify that the institution or the program continues to meet the norms and standards prescribed by the regulator.
It is a tool that stakeholders use to monitor, assess and evaluate the standards and quality of the education students receive at a college, university, or other institution of higher learning. The purpose of the accreditation by the NBA is to promote and recognize excellence in technical education in colleges and universities.
