Admission to the college is competitive, based on HSC exam scores, and can be pursued via government or management quotas. The college emphasizes practical lab sessions over theoretical lectures, focusing on hands-on microbiology experience. Faculty members have doctorates or pharmaceutical research experience. However, there are concerns about inadequate facilities and rushed syllabus completion, affecting clinical explanations and exposure. The tuition fee is Rs 90,000 per year, covering campus facilities like labs, clubs, and sports amenities.
Placement opportunities are available with companies such as Dr. Reddy's, Cipla, and Elixir after a six-year course. Internship stipends range from Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000, and internships last for only three months annually. The annual fee is typically Rs 96,000, with Rs 29,500 upfront, and a Rs 68,000 reimbursement, plus a Rs 5,000 government scholarship. Fees vary for management and convener quota students, with the latter not receiving scholarships. Some students pay an annual fee of Rs 182,000 for five years.
Campus placements offer packages up to Rs 30,000 per month. Concerns exist about limited hospital activity guidance and support.
