The B. Pharmacy course at Kurukshetra University faces challenges with a large class size of about 120 students and only one faculty member, leading to high student-to-faculty ratios and management difficulties. Exams are conducted twice a year, with rigorous grading and strict attendance policies resulting in many students struggling to pass. The Chemistry and Pharmaceutics departments have notable faculty strength, although some faculty show favoritism, impacting student relationships. The main exams each semester are preceded by three sessional exams, with costly fees for rechecking and reevaluation.
The course fees have increased, with general category students paying Rs. 85,000 per year, totaling Rs. 3,80,000 over four years. Fees per semester range from Rs. 32,000 to Rs. 49,000, while SC students benefit from significantly reduced fees of Rs. 1,100 per year and several scholarships. Hostel fees are Rs. 12,000 per semester, with a refundable deposit of Rs. 4,000 and mess charges of Rs. 3,000 per month. Campus placements are available to final-year students, with 20-40% securing jobs, although initial salary packages are modest.
The B. Pharmacy department operates under the private sector, leading to higher fees than typical for a government institution. Scholarships are limited and primarily available for SC/ST students with a BPL card.
