Admission to Bhanuben Nanavati College of Pharmacy in Mumbai involves securing a place through the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MH-CET) and participating in the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) rounds. The reviewer was admitted in the third CAP round under the Gujarati minority quota with a CET score of 124. Required documents include 10th and 12th mark sheets, pass certificates, and a leaving certificate. The faculty, composed of PhD and master's degree holders, has mixed reviews on teaching effectiveness but aims to provide practical field knowledge.
On non-practical days, students attend five to six hour-long lectures, while practical days include two lectures and a four-hour practical session. The college fees are deemed expensive, especially for general category students, with an annual fee of Rs 1,40,000 in the first year and a 10% annual increase. SC/ST students pay reduced fees. The fee is relatively high compared to other Mumbai pharmaceutical colleges, posing a burden for some families. The college lacks accommodation, increasing costs for outstation students.
A placement committee facilitates job placements with top industries, though the post-graduation pay is not very favorable. Notable companies like Cipla hire students, and internships, though compulsory, are unpaid. The Scholax scholarship offers a total of Rs 100,000 to three B.Pharm and one M.Pharm student, each receiving Rs 25,000. It is available to economically backward and Gujarati minority students who meet eligibility criteria, including an interview and academic evaluation. The college also aids in obtaining government minority scholarships.
