No Scholarships are promoted by college. Loan facility are offered by the college and principal. Amount for course are provided by the bank near to your locality. Central government scholarship can be applied by students.

Labs are average for Pharm D students. Many instruments are not available. Basic instruments are present. The experiments are done in Lab hours. Library is available for reference and studying. Sports is below average.

The Hostel is very poor , not upto money that students are paying. Food is not good. Rooms and building are perfect for studying. Many unnecessary rules are there. Many facalties are present to check the students. The Hostel fee is high.

Alumni network is average only. Students are not satisfied. Senior students are helpful during the course. Students will struggle in early life of course. Many information are not provided by the teachers.

After the Higher Secondary Education(HSE) , I applied for Pharm D course here. The HSE marks of subjects such as Physics , Chemistry , Biology and Maths are checked for admission and they will publish the rank list for selection of students to Pharm D course. The interested students can then join the college if their names are in top of the rank list , published by the college management.

There are almost 50 teachers in college. All Teachers are qualified with either M pharm or Pharm D or Phd from certain pharmacy colleges.The is controlled by principal and management. For each subjects separate teachers are available.
