Course Curriculum Overview
I want to learn about Medicines and their way of work (Mechanism of action). So I decided to complete D.pharm and after this I joined B.pharm for advanced study. This is technical course so it is very much practical in real life. This course teaches about the overall knowledge about various types of drugs. College also gives placements in various places with average salary about 300000 anum. Exam levels are medium. College should improve their faculties. Exams are happening most of the times of the year.
Internships Opportunities
Companies like Macloids, Sun Pharma, Cipla etc gives internship to the students They mainly hire employees for their manufacturing units from B.pharm colleges. Here is also no exception. After completing 3 months successful training period ( about Rs.15000 a month ) they offer you permanent posting with good salary. Beside this APPOLLO pharmacy, Med plus also hires registered pharmacists. They also gives around 15000 a month salary.
Placement Experience
Gitanjali college also gives adequate placements opportunities. Opportunities comes from many sectors. Appolo, Med plus etc. are common and easy opportunities. Beside them Mainly Production companies like Macloids, Sun Pharma etc also conducts interview for their production units every year. Interviews are arranged for 4th year students only. My plan is to continue my higher studies.

In hostel room there is 1 bed, 1 matress,1 chair and 1 table is available for each students. Weakly 2 days chicken (Sunday and Wednesday), 1 day fish (Monday), 2 days egg(Friday and Tuesday) and other days veg are available. 2 times snacks are available in a day ( MURI and Ghugni, pakoda, tea etc.) Friday evening chowmin is also provided. Quality of food is not very good. It needs improvement. Currently in the year 2025 the hostel rent is total 5000 a month. Recently I have left my hostel in this month and took a PG because of food of hostel. PG is available around the Lohapur bazar, kantagaria more, station, bhadrapur. PG is actually cheaper than the hostel.
Admission
I got admitted to this college through JELET exam after completing D.pharm. My criteria for choosing this college is mainly the distance between my home and college (I am from north side of West Bengal). So, basically this is the closest b.pharm college near me. Gitanjali college also accepts students without JELET examination (Direct admission). Obviously I tried for the government colleges first( JALPAIGURI AND JADAVPUR). But only two colleges with less then 15 seats it's very tough to get admission in lateral entry. So this was my second choice after those government colleges. Overall admission process is easy . You just need to contact to college and they will do the rest for you.
Faculty
Total students around 500 and teaching stuffs are 31. Relationship between students and teachers are quite good. Most of teachers are supportive. Specifically JB( Janmajay Banerjee) sir very popular among students. Most hated will be the Principal (rudeness) There will be 4 internal theory exams and 2 practical internal exams before main Semester exam. Semester exams comes twice a year.
Night Life
College is actually located in a rural area named Lohapur. This location is belong the district Birbhum. It's is actually the border of Murshidabad. Environment is actually rural. Students coming from metro cities may not like this place because no blinkit, no ZOMATO, no SWIGGY no movie theatre is available in about 25 km radius. It is actually good for them, because it can cause distraction. And about hostel , I actually opted for hostel. It is around 1.5 km from college. College bus is available. So , transport is not a problem. Food is available 2 times (rice and other food) and breakfast is available. Locality is safe for roaming around. Hostel campus closing time is 6pm. 24 hours electricity is available (generator for emergency).
