My honest review

The course docter of pharmacy provides insights into the use of modern medicine and therapeutics. After completing pharmd you can work as a clinical pharmacist and help docters design thier treatment regimon that provides maximum benefits to patients and is cost effective. This influenced my decision to choose this course. But for real world applications the preparation provided but the curriculum is not upto the marks. Yet the college manages to provide as clinical postings in hospital which helps to improve patient student interactions and real world conditions. I find the course still needs improvement in improving the application level skills of the students. Since the academic schedule is planned yearly the frequency and timing of exams is not too hectic. Yet there is a lot of topics to be covered in a short time. The timing in between two exams is short.

The year wise fees is 1 lakh ninty thousand. Additional fees is paid for registration for university exams every year which is around 1000 per subject. An amount of 1 lakh was paid at the beginning of the course which includes all miscellaneous charges for the entire duration of the course. The tuition fees for students getting admission via NRI quota is around 3 lakhs. Students can avail NSP merit cum means scholarship ehich sums up around 30 thousand every year. This is to br renewed periodically

Although the college management gives preference to academics still arts and cultural fests and athletics meet are conducted annually. The selected students also participate in inter college competitions. The college has a well built library with sufficient journals and books. Every classrooms are equipped with projectors and individual chairs for students. There is also two computer lab with good internet facility. Student's club activities are limited since the students get little time for that apart from studies

The hostel facility is average. We have rooms shared by four people.The rooms are provided with lights,fan and switchboards. Each student gets a bed, table, chair and shelf. The meal quality is ok but at times it's poor. There is non veg almost everyday except fridays. The room rent is 1000 and mess fee 4500 which is affordable. Registration process is very simple

I applied to amrita school of pharmacy and nirmala college of pharmacy and got admissions at both but i chose to join my present college since they had their own medical college and fees was relatively affordable compared to amrita. Since the course necessitates the requirement of hospital training for students choosing a college with own medical college is beneficial. The college is under kerala university of health science and you can apply through ksspcma website. Allotment is according to merit. No entrance exams are required

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.

There is no nightlife in the college. The curfew begins at 6.30pm. The gym facility is very poor. There are two cafeterias in the campus which are pretty much good. Outings are permitted only on Wednesdays, fridays and sundays for girls and alternative days for boys. There is a gate pass required for entrance and exit to the college. The famous hangout spots are cafes. The locality is actually safe to roam around
