Note: The list consists of Government pharmacy colleges as well as private pharmacy colleges. Do you want to know more about the admission process? If yes, check out the next section. In the next section, we will have an in-depth analysis of the admission process.
Pharm D Admission in Maharashtra
The admission process may vary from one pharmacy college to another. The main modes of the admission process are – merit-based admission, direct admission, and donation-based admission process.
All of the government colleges and good private colleges follow merit based admission process. Under this mode of admission, seats are allotted among deserving candidates on the basis of their rank in a merit list. This merit list is prepared on the basis of candidates’ performance in relevant entrance tests/selection exam and/or their performance in the Bachelor’s Degree program.
The direct admission process is followed when an institute has too many vacant seats to fill up. Usually, mid-table and low-rated colleges are known to employ this tactic. Under this process, seats are distributed among eligible candidates on a first come, first served basis.
When it comes to many private Pharm D colleges, a certain number of seats are reserved under the management quota. These seats are allotted to eligible candidates on the basis of monetary transactions conducted between the two parties.
Fees
Pharm D tuition fees depend upon factors such as – the type of college (government or private), scholarship status of the candidate, rating of the college, etc. On average, private pharmacy colleges could charge anywhere between 80-180K INR per year. Government pharmacy colleges are known to provide subsidized education to their students.
Pharm D Course Details
In India, there are 2 formats in which this course is available-
- Regular Pharm D program (6 years long).
- Pharm D (Post-Baccalaureate) program (3 years long).
Regular Pharm D courses may be pursued by students who have passed the 12th Science Board examination. The post-Baccalaureate Pharm D course is for B Pharm graduates to pursue.
The course includes regular pharmacy subjects and clinical pharmacy practices. This is why this course is called an ‘integrated course’. The program trains students in clinical pharmacy, pharmacy practice, and pharmaceutical care. At the end of the course, students gain skills such as diagnosis and treatment of diseases, selection and therapeutic usage of drugs, monitoring of patients, etc. In short, Pharm D graduates are capable of performing many tasks that MBBS graduates are capable of doing (monitoring patients, diagnosis, etc).
