How do I know whether a Pharmacy College is good ?

A pharmacy transfer can only come from an institution that already holds strong merit for its achievements. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Pharmacy Course Requirements
  • Check whether the pharmacy college has been granted approval from the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) and has a recognized university. The status accreditation of such professional bodies, eg AICTE, further enhances the value.

2. Course Content and Practical Experience
  • Whatever a student is being taught must be complemented with practical aspects. Check for facilities such as laboratories, libraries, and research centres.

3. Faculty Expertise
  • If a college has qualified and experienced teachers, it greatly influences the educational process, quality of education, and mentorship.

4. Internship and Placement Opportunities
  • Some colleges offer internship chances with internationally recognized pharmaceutical firms and have a placement office to help students find work.

5. Collaboration with a Pharmaceutical Company
  • The more pharmaceutical companies and research institutions have partnered with the college, the more opportunities and experience the students will gain.

6. College Location and Provisions Available On Campus.
  • Closeness to healthcare providers and research facilities contributes to positive advantages in undertaking practical lessons and internships.
