Honest and Genuine

The course curriculum included Therapeutics and Pharmacology which largely drew me into specifically selecting this course. The inclusion of therapeutics makes one ready to be well versed in the clinical field. Although there is a good scope of improvement in remodulating the course structure for PharmD mainly incorporating a thorough and extensive teaching on Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics in all the years and eliminating few unrelevant subjects like Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutical formulation, Pharmaceutics as these subjects would be of a greater use in courses like Bpharm and Mpharm rather than PharmD.

The few structure that was informed to us included a donation amount of 4,25,000rs in the first year followed by an annual fees of 1,60,000 for the next 5 years. So basically every year we pay 1,60,000 as just the tuition fees. Other expenditures which can be expected during the course of study includes Hostel fees, maintenance fees, exam fees, library charges, lab breakage charges and miscellaneous expenses. So this fee structure is for all the students other than for those who are via CET which is again something which only the localities are eligible for. Students who have come through CET get a decent amount of money back in the form of scholarship and also the fees that they have to pay is comparatively very very less. Other than that there is no such scholarships or financial aids provided for the general community.

There are quite a few extra curricular activities planned once in a while. There are inter college Basketball competitions and many such sports events to name a few. Other sports include football,cricket etc. The college has a decent library with the inclusion of quintessential books and journals required for updating the knowledge. The college also provides access to software like Lexicomp which is a major help to all the pharmacy students.

I had applied to Pariyaram Medical College in Kannur which only has a reserved seat for strictly 30 students and unfortunately I wasnt able to bag a seat there. Initially I was only sure about this course and there was no particular preference for this college. The reason behind selecting this college could 1) be word of mouth , I have a senior who told it's a great college 2) the financial terms , this college has comparatively lesser donation and annual fees when compared with other colleges providing PharmD. I didn't make it to the other college because there were.very limited seats and they were alloting there based upon the state exam results which I wasn't able to write as I was from CBSE board. The admission process is pretty simple , the only eligibility that is required is you to have more than 60% in 12th Boards and money to pay the fees.

There exists a decent relationship between Faculties and students. There is a thin line that differentiates between students becoming over friendly with teachers and at the same time having that healthy bond as well. The faculties are pretty much very approachable and can be looked upto for clarifying anything and everything. There are few wonderful teachers whom I have had personal experiences with from this college. It would be unfair to the other teachers if i would be naming just a few of them because there are a lot many of them who had actually been the pillars of support. There are sessional exams and the model test papers which are again curated based on the classroom teachings which is easy for one to crack if they are mentally present in the class.
