The college operates specialized laboratory infrastructure across departments — HPLC, FTIR, GC, UV-Visible spectrophotometers, lyophilizers, hot melt extruders, fluidized bed processors, and dissolution apparatus — supporting drug discovery, analytical method development, novel drug delivery system research, and natural product/phytopharmaceutical analysis. Research output exceeds 400 publications, supplemented by BCUD, AICTE MODROB, and SPPU IQAC research grants totaling approximately INR 2.4M. The Training and Placement Cell runs pooled campus drives with pharmaceutical majors (Cadila, Alkem, Piramal, Emcure), clinical research and medical coding firms (Advantmed, Dysmech), and analytics employers (Mu Sigma), supported by MoUs with Lokmanya Hospital and GTT-NASSCOM Foundation.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees from enrolled students (DTE Maharashtra centralized counseling plus management quota), supplemented by recurring government research grants and institutional affiliation/regulatory funding streams. Admissions are routed through the Directorate of Technical Education counseling process, with direct institutional admissions for management quota. The institution is a regional education services provider rather than a technology or product company; its competitive position rests on stacked regulatory accreditations, employer placement relationships, and research output rather than proprietary technology or IP licensing.
