S S Laxmana Cheinulu's Review On CMR College Of Pharmacy - [CMRCP], Hyderabad

My College excelled in all other departments except the pharmaceutical department. Unable to meet the standards and budget required for setup, transferred students to another college to cope up with laboratory requirements. Yet we are happy that our college gained a good reputation as an institution and this enabled us to secure a seat in good colleges after finishing our bachelors.

I have not taken any of the entrance examinations and the college offered me a seat as the pharmacy department college is in its start-up.

The course curriculum is set as per the standards of the Pharmacy council of India. The electives are clinical pharmacy and industrial pharmacy. Clinical pharmacy emphasizes patient care whereas industrial pharmacy emphasizes manufacturing practices.

We have never been offered an internship or a stipend. All the students are required to pay the fee on their own. We should be able to manage our expenses.

No companies have ever conducted campus placement interviews in our college. All the students are forced to search for a job on their own.

Our college holds a yearly fest across all the departments in the group of institutions. Students from other colleges are allowed to participate and this is a happening event in my college. Students across all famous institutions participate in this event. Also, a quarterly sports event is conducted among various departments.

The fee structure for our batch is Rs 50, 000 per annum and this has been increased to 85, 000 per annum for batches following us. I believe the quality of education we have received is not worth what we have paid for.

I am not aware of such facilities offered or availed. None of my friends have ever availed of such facilities.

Campus life is just above average. Not much of the extracurricular activities have been organized. No hostel parties and our hostel in charge never encouraged social movement.

The cleanliness and the ambiance of the hostel can be rated as the best. They offered students 4 sharing rooms with individual cupboards for all students. Each floor accommodates a 20-bath toilet and is very clean. A highly secured campus. We paid 5000 per month including food. Though the accommodation meets the quality, food standards were poor.

My College seniors are the first batch to join the newly established pharmacy department. They provided us with some good guidance and made us learn some good tactics to lead a comfortable college life.

The exam structure and the standards of the examinations held are very poor. The internal examinations conducted were of no use and students always have to prepare at the 11th hour during the final examinations.
