Rankings are a good starting point but shouldn't be your only deciding factor. Sites like NIRF and other agencies rank based on parameters like faculty, research, and infrastructure, which matter, but placement reality can differ. It's smarter to combine rankings with actual student reviews, recruiter lists, and campus visits if possible. Rankings guide you, but ground-level research confirms the real picture.

No, WBJEE is the most common exam but not the only route available. Around 18 colleges specifically accept WBJEE scores for B.Pharma admission.

So options exist even if you don't clear WBJEE with a great rank.
