Is AKTU right choice?

With a strong emphasis on fundamental pharmaceutical subjects like pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, and pharmacognosy, the curriculum at Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) is reasonably current and well-structured. Building theoretical foundations and getting ready for advanced coursework and competitive exams are two benefits of the curriculum. However, there is a lack of industry-focused training and hands-on experience, so self-learning and internships are necessary to prepare for the real world. The syllabus should be updated to reflect the demands of the modern workforce, more skill-based and application-oriented learning should be included, and case studies and projects should be used to enhance teaching strategies. Semester-by-semester exams are moderately challenging and emphasise theory and memorisation over real-world application. The curriculum is strong academically overall, but it needs to be better integrated with real-world applications.

Sports Club organises annual sports meet through which students are selected for zonal competition. Student run clubs are also present.

I chose this college as it provided me with a location that's prime to corporates. The admission process was pretty simple, if you've appeared for UPCET, you need to choose the college while sitting for counseling and if you're taking admission via management quota then you need to approach the registrar early. You need to have an affidavit if you took a drop year.

Faculty to student ratio : 1:20 There's a faculty feedback program after end of every semester through which students can give their feedback on the faculty. There are many faculties who are capable of explaining even the most technical things in a simple manner and the lectures the faculty provides online on YouTube are helpful to catch concepts if missed in the class.
