  • Check the reputation of the university or the college

One the foremost things to check before choosing a pharmacy college is its reputation. You need to enquire on when the college was established and when it was approved by other regulatory bodies like All India Council for Technical Education and Pharmacy Council of India. Try to choose institutions which are accredited by both international and national agencies like NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) and NBA (National Board of Accreditation.  An ISO Certification also depicts trustworthiness and reputation.

  • Reputation of the Alumni

Positions secured by the alumni and their achievements speak about the reputation and standard of the institute. The awards received by them, both international and national, enhance the image of the college in a huge way. Why not go for the best international school?

  • Faculty

There’s no doubt when we say that the faculty are the heart and soul of a college. The teaching and faculty members of the college should be adequately experienced and they should also have achievements to fall back on. Not only that, the other staff of the institution should also have sufficient skills and experience.

  • System of evaluation

What are the criteria for being eligible for an examination? Is there enough transparency in conduction of examinations? These are two of the most common questions that you should enquire about the pharmacy college before deciding to get admitted. Unless you know on the evaluation system, you won’t be able to enter a college that is affiliated to a reputed university.

  • College Infrastructure

Did you check the location of the university? By checking the location, we don’t mean checking how far it is from your residence but whether or not it is properly connected by road, air and rail. How is the ambience and atmosphere of this educational place? Does the institution have its own building? Does it have enough space for future expansion? Do they have sufficient seminar hall, lecture halls, library, laboratories and all the recent equipments that may be required while studying pharmacy?

Also check whether the college has properly furnished hotels and hygienic food. Does the college have outdoor and indoor sports facilities? Do they have a system of annual cultural event? These are some of the most vital things to watch out for while choosing a college.

Therefore, now that you’re aware of the factors to keep in mind before getting admitted in the best pharmacy school, what are you waiting for? Make sure you start searching for the best college by setting the right filters.
