Pushpagiri College of Pharmacy Perumthuruthy Tiruvalla Faculty

There are 35 teaching staff including all the professors, associate professors and assistant professors. The faculty are considerably approachable. There are 3 sessional exams in which one has to secure above 50 percent in any 2 exams separately to be qualified to attend university.

The faculty students relationship is average though not all faculties are easily approachable yet there are a few who are very loving and supportive. Especially i have to mention julie ma'am, pheba ma'am,archana ma'am etc. They have a friendly nature which i like very much about them. There aren't any faculties i didn't like but some felt less approchable than others.And some faculties only very few favour students they like. There are three sessional exams and a university exam every year. There are also six subjects per year except for 5th year where you will be having 3 subjects along with clerkship and project. The exams are pretty difficult to clear . You need 50% marks seperatly in theory and practical to pass the exams. A good number of students fail to clear exams in the first attempt. And if you have arrears for more than two subjects ,you will not be promoted to the next academic year. The course curriculum still nees to be updated in regard to the modern practises in medicine and therapy. The sullabus is outdated and not upto modern day practise.

The faculty to student ratio is approx 1:10 which allows reasonable personalised attention to students. With around 30 to 40 faculty and 300 to 350 students there is good probablity for students to interact with teachers. Faculties are usually friendly and approachable in academic and professional matters. However there are instances where the relationship is less seemless often influenced by individuals. Many faculties have transfered to ither colleges or left the college and nee faculties are being taken too. For Pharm.D there are 3 theory sessional exams and 2 practical exams in each year and a university exam which is the final exam thus comprise of 4 examinations. For 1st year there are 6 subjects (5 university and 1 non-university) and 5 practicals too. The 2nd year to 4th year there are 6 subjects and practical subjects are 3,5,4 for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year respectively. The 5th year has only 3 subject but has 2 practical subjects called clerkship and project. Project is basically a research that is done in the college based on different articles. All the exams are really very hard to clear and if failed in a subject the Suplementory exam have to be written. Only if a student clears all subject of 1st year alcan they sit in 3rd year similarly only if a student clears all subject of 2nd year will theh be able to sit in 4th year classes. Only iff all the 4 year subjects are vleared will the students be able to sit in 5th year class. Only if all 5 year subjects are cleared can a student start their internship.

The faculty to student ratio is appropriate. There are more number of girls than boys. The relationship between faculty and students can be improved. There are 3 internals and 1 üniversitey exam for every year. You should clear your internals to write the university. Many students fail to clear the internals and the üniversitey exams.

Faculty student relation was very nice and friendly. And teaching also good. One of the advantage in my college we have experienced teaching faculty with PhD. In a year 3 internal exams should be conducted for PharmD
