Course Curriculum Overview
The pattern of curriculum is really helpful for the students to develop their skills as they take a final exam in each semester. They provide both theory as well as practical knowledge. I personally dont appreciate the teaching methods because they focus more on theory exams and focus less on our practical knowledge. The knowledge of pharmacy in terms of practical application is not provided or taught enough by the faculties. Every sessional exams which r held in each semester is of one hour which includes 10 minutes for mcqs and 50 minutes for theory. Each semester exams os of 2 hours which includes 20 minutes for mcqs and 1 hour 40 minutes for theory. The difficulty of exam ranges from easy to moderate, with dedicated study and proper information students cam crack the exams with excellent marks.

Hostel Facilities
I live in the girls hostel provided by the college. The hostel is clean and well maintained. The aesthetics of the hostel also adds to merits of college. Its a full furnished hostel. The hostel provides a mess for all the students. The mess timing for breakfast is from 7:30 to 9:30 am. The mess timing for lunch is from 12:30 to 2:00 pm. Evening snacks are available in the mess from 5:30 to 6:00 pm. Dinner starts from 7:30 till 9:00 pm. As a student from Kerala i personally didn't like the mess food. The food is extremely tasteless and bland. They do not provide nutritious food for the students. Several health issues are caused due to the mess food. Gym is provided in the ground floor with all necessary equipments. A badminton ground is located at the centre of the hostel for students to play badminton or tennis. Washrooms are present in each floor. Filter for pure drinking water is also provided in each floor for the students. Hostel fee often ranges from 50,000 to 1,20,000 based on the number of beds in each room. Hostel provides two sharing rooms, three sharing rooms, four sharing rooms and even five sharing rooms for the students. Booking a of the rooms is better to do before hand. Students even stay outside the college as paying guest, several pgs are available in the vicinity of the college.
Admission
I applied to Ramaiya College of pharmacy in Banglore, SRM college in Chennai and Amity University. I got selected in all the colleges but i chose JSS College of Pharmacy as they have highest NIRF ranking in India. The college ranks 6th in India according to NIRF. I chose JSS College because i wanted to do Pharm D, but i couldn't join as i was late for the admission due to Neet exam.In some colleges i got rejected because i couldn't crack the entrance exam dure to the difficulty level of the exams. Eligibility criteria of the college:- student must pass 10+2 with biology, physics and chemistry. Diploma students can also take the admission and do the course as lateral entry students.
Faculty
According to my opinion, most of the faculties are not supportive to the needs of the student. I personally like Dixit sir and prabhita maam so far, as they r helpful and consider our needs. Each there are overall eight semester in four years. Each year has two semester exams. Each semester consists of two sessional exams which is of 30 marks including theory and practicals and one final semester which is of 75 marks.Passing rate is high for our college as they provide important questions and materials needed for the exam. They provide excellent teaching pattern which helps the students to exceed in the exams.
