Knowledge and training in Pharmaceutics offers a wide array
of career options to the students. Traditionally a qualification in pharmacy
was associated with a lifetime career as a chemist helping the doctor in the
hospital or chemist show. The programme
is no longer confined to the laboratories or classrooms and goes beyond the
curriculum. The career options after the programme are also immense. Contrary to popular perception, a career in
pharmacy is not only challenging but lucrative.
Four year B Pharm
programme and two year M.Pharma
programme gave me an in-depth insight into the subject matter related to
pharmacy and pharmaceutical industry, which gives benefits to the society at
large.
