College of pharmacy-MMC an hidden pool of pharma knowledge

Pharmacy is a promising field offering research opportunities and other jobs when trained properly. The student: staff ratio is 10:1. All the faculties are postgraduates with a handful of experienced Ph.D. professionals with industrial exposure and contacts. Their teaching will be reasonable and more self-study is required. Exams were twice a year usually in the months of march and October.

The fees are the major advantage as it is very subsidized to 3800 per year excluding hostel, books, Lab items, and exam fees. The exam fees are usually charged as Rs.750 per theory paper and Rs400 per practical paper. Community-based scholarships are also available.

The kind of exposure to patients across different stages of the community is incomparable. Despite the college environment is not so lavish it is decent enough to carry out studies. There are three big lecture halls and a small tutorial room. The library has a good number of books and journals of both national and international standards. Active sports and cultural activities occur on a yearly basis with the enthusiastic involvement of the students and staff. NSS, NCC, and Green bridge clubs are available.

The eligibility for the course is a 10+2 high school education with physics, chemistry, and biology/maths or any other equivalent qualifications as notified and approved by the Tamilnadu government. The application usually is called for after the Board and NEET examinations. Usually, the admission process begins at the end of August and classes start from October first week. The application shall be found on the official website. What I felt could be an improvement is that the document verification and fee payment could be done online itself.
