The College of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Trivandrum was the first of its kind in the state of Kerala. Till it moved to its own premises in 1977, the college was functioning in the Trivandrum Medical College. Today there are 23 Pharmacy colleges in Kerala from where more than 1000 students graduate every year.
