The registration window opened on 31 July 2026 and closes on 10 August 2026 at 5 PM.
Pharmacy CAP 2026: Key Details
The registration covers admissions for BPharm and PharmD courses for the 2026-27 academic year. Candidates must complete the online form, upload the required documents, and choose a verification mode before the deadline. Two document verification options are available this year:

Document verification will run from 1 August to 11 August 2026.
