I am satisfied with our esteemed faculty members, good infrastructure, facilities, and students.
Placements: Almost 90% of students got placed in very good pharmaceutical companies and reputed hospitals. The highest salary package offered is around 13 LPA - 14 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is around 3 LPA - 4 LPA. Sarthi Pharma, Alembic Pharmaceuticals, Torrent Pharma, HCG Hospital, etc., visit our college for placements. Almost 100% of students got internships. Roles offered are clinical pharmacist, hospital pharmacist, etc.
Infrastructure: We have smart classrooms, Wi-Fi, labs, machines, a library, etc. The hostel provides facilities like air-conditioned and non air-conditioned rooms, a water cooler, laundry, very good quality healthy food, hospital care, a dance room, a gym, a basketball ground, a football ground, an indoor sports club, etc.
Faculty: We have very friendly and supportive staff. The course is relevant. I would recommend that other students choose this course for their better future. Among all six years, the third year is the toughest. The passing percentage is more than 50%. Final year is for an internship at the hospital.
Other: This course has more value in India as well as other countries. Whatever we get is enough for our course. All Indian and international festivals are celebrated on our campus, like Rasotsava, Ganesh Utsav, annual fests, etc.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of faculties, but good infrastructure.
Placements: No placements till now for Pharm D as we are the 2nd batch of it. Till now, our students are placed at hospitals for internships, which were initiated by the students only. We can become clinical pharmacists. Our course offers something like 45k - 2 lac/month, with starting salaries between 30-38k/month.
Infrastructure: Computer labs, library, and the whole college are equipped with Wi-Fi. Hostel is good, only Hostel B; others are not good. Mess food is improving, and the canteen is good. There is one hospital inside, and two ambulances are available. A sports ground, gym, and sports building with everything you need are also provided.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but there is only 1 competent Pharm D faculty; the rest are non-Pharm D faculty (PhD, M.Pharm). They are good, but most of the good teachers will leave in one year. Cheap, incompetent faculties will remain. Don't take admission because of other things; faculties should be good. Nothing is essentially taught to make us industry-ready. Year exams are good and easy.
Other: Cheapest in Gujarat with decent quality. Good Pharm D teachers are very much needed... unless they expect us to do self-study. The College of Pharmacy has a different kind of approach towards extracurricular activities, as the dean thinks it is a waste of time, while others think it is essential.

Best college in Saurashtra region with good campus.
Placements: Currently, no batches are yet passed out from college. I am in the 2nd batch of the college to pass. Our seniors will be passed out next year, so let's see what placement they get. Our college has an MOU with many hospitals and factories. So your skills will define your placements.
Infrastructure: There are Wi-Fi facilities available throughout the college campus and hostels. There are 2 big libraries in the college. Classrooms are moderate in size and have airflow. The quality of mess food varies from day to day. Many sports grounds are available in the college but with specific time slots.
Faculty: Some of the faculty are having excellent knowledge. They are trying their best for making our future bright. Co-curriculum is somewhat less compared to other colleges. Exams are quite difficult. We have to maintain 80% attendance; otherwise, you will not be allowed to sit in exams.

It is an amazing place to study and also to have a good college life.
Placements: I got placed on campus. Around 68% of students got placed. I am not sure about the packages yet. Top recruiting companies are Astra Pharmacy, and several good pharmacies. Top roles offered are clinical pharmacist, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is amazing, with several labs and libraries. The campus is huge. There are 4 hostels for boys, and the rest are for girls. Hostel facilities include food (4 times a day), mattress, sheets and utensils for eating, and laundry.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, and they conduct doubt-clearing sessions at the end of the day.

Satisfied with the faculties, facilities provided by the campus; hoping for good placements.
Placements: I can't answer the question about placements yet, as our seniormost batch is still in their internships and will start getting job placements from next year onwards. The highest package might be around 3 lacs per month, and the lowest could be up to 50k per month as a clinical pharmacist in multispeciality hospitals. Top recruiting companies include Intas, Sun Pharma, Cipla, and others. Almost all the students from the senior batch got their internships in well-known multispeciality hospitals like HCG in Rajkot, while others have been placed in various cities across India. The top roles offered are hospital pharmacists, drug safety officers, research analysts, medical writers, roles in drug manufacturing units, and chemist stores.
Infrastructure: The university offers amazing facilities to support our course, such as classrooms with projectors, integrated computer labs, a library, lecture halls, seminar halls, and active WiFi throughout the campus. The hostel facilities are also up to the mark, including laundry services, physiotherapy and Ayurveda OPDs, a sports complex, a gym, and a canteen. The mess food is a bit unsatisfactory but still okay.
Faculty: The teachers here are not that well-experienced but are qualified and knowledgeable enough to teach us. The course curriculum is relevant and well-suited to our needs, and it does prepare students for entering the field. The exam difficulty level is above average, with a passing percentage of 35%.
Other: I chose this course because of the opportunities and scope it provides based on current trends in society. The best thing about this course is that it offers similar content to courses in foreign countries, making it suitable for those planning to immigrate. However, there could be improvements in the learning experience, such as weekly seminars about hospital postings to discuss new things learned each week. Our campus hosts many events and fests, including conferences like drug discovery and design, ADDT, pharma fests, the annual celebration of Pharmacovigilance Week, and World Pharmacist's Day, along with smaller events. Campus activities include cultural festivals like Galore, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, and many more.
