Very good place to do your under undergraduation and all the faculty members are very friendly.
Placements: As Chettinad School of pharmaceutical sciences was inaugurated at the time I joined, our class is the first batch. The fees are assigned based on marks. We get to know of placements only when we pass out. Overall, it is a very good campus that provides a great learning experience.
Infrastructure: The campus is a green campus with a Wi-Fi connection and has a a good spacious library and also they give access to E-Journals via the virtual library. The labs are amazing with good facilities. The campus has a very big auditorium, a mini auditorium, and an indoor sports court, and also cricket, football, and kabaddi grounds. There is a lot to explore around.
Faculty: The faculty members here are well qualified and experienced in academia. The teaching quality is good and the faculty members are free to answer any questions and encourage self and participatory learning. This course has plenty to offer and it is a good course in the current scenario.
Other: B.Pharma is one of the key fields where there is a lot of job opportunities as well as scope for improvement. This course provides one a lot of knowledge of drugs and formulation etc. Many industrial visits are the thing I wish. The campus has a food court and a student store where almost everything is available.
