It's our time

First of all, there is the CET exam which is of 200 marks. The admission is given based on marks of 12th and CET. At our times there was only a common entrance test for Medical admission and Pharmacy admission but, nowadays the government separated Medical CET and Pharmacy CET. The application process is online we have to go to ARC (Admission Reporting Centers) The application starts in July of every year. Application fees are varying yearly. We have to fill out the forms from approved ARC centers. At ARC centers we got course brochures, in that brochure every information about the admission process is given. First of all list Government Pharmacy colleges in Maharashtra, then private colleges which are near to your hometown. I had filled 13 colleges in the cap around. I availed Reservation benefit, there was a concession fee according to government rules. Exam patterns are different. They vary according to university. I studied pharmacy at Shivaji University, Kolhapur. Semester exam pattern.

I chose Pharmacy because I am interested in this field. We can make a good career in pharmacy. I took admitted to the Bachelor of Pharmacy course. Faculty members are highly qualified. All our teachers were Post Graduate, professors and HOD were holding Ph.D. The teaching method was very good. Teachers were very helpful and they gave personal attention to every student. I would like to share my personal experience. Our medicinal chemistry madam arranged viva -voce for journal certification, which proved very helpful, because the question asked by a madam for the viva, that same question was asked in a university written examination for 10 marks. So, I think the efforts taken by our madam for us were very helpful and which helped me to pass that exam easily. Term exam there was sessional exam which was arranged before University exams, the sessional exam was of 20 marks. University exams were of 40 marks. It was not so difficult to pass that exam.

Total fees 50000 (The year 2012) now the fee is increased. There was not any compulsion about we have to fill this much fees at one time. There was a flexible policy for fees. We were free to fill any amount of fees at any time. Our college management gave us a very flexible fee structure and give us ample time to complete that. Thanks for that. We were taking advantage of the scholarship scheme of the Government of Maharashtra. We have to fill out the forms of scholarship online, after that, we were given a scholarship by the government timely.

Campus life was good. There was a canteen where we can get all your eating stuff. Our library was very big, in that we got every new book and journal. There was a card system for availing of books. We have submitted our library card against which we got books. There were projectors, fans in all classrooms. There were projectors in every classroom, where teachers taught us on the projector. Sports were arranged during gatherings. There were outdoor games like cricket, volleyball and indoor games like table tennis, carrom, chess. There were guest lecturers were there.
