Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) - Batch of 2026

Offered by Galgotias College of Pharmacy

I am not satisfied with the college.

Placements: College only provides a job in sales, and except for a few, none are interested in future growth. They just need good internal and external marks with 75% attendance throughout the course. The worst for future growth. All students got placed in sales, and there is competition from students of Galgotias University, which makes it the worst. Only 1-2 companies visited as core companies, which did not select Bachelor's students.

Infrastructure: Labs are good. Labs are well-equipped, and a sufficient number of practical labs are held. They provide chemicals that they can. Some teachers also arrange for chemicals on their own behalf.

Faculty: Teachers are good. But I think college needs to understand that the 3rd-4th years are not only for scoring good marks, but they are meant to increase more real-world knowledge and experience. Exams are held on a very regular basis. AKTU has a weird schedule for all the semesters. The first sem runs for a good 6-7 months. Then some just last 2-3 months, the whole course ends in 3.5 years. Teachers are never lethargic in teaching. Supportive for curriculum

Offered by Greater Noida Institute of Technology

2.0Placements2.0Infrastructure2.0Faculty1.0Crowd & Campus Life1.0Value for Money

Strict college life with limited growth opportunities.

Placements: Placements are below average, especially for IoT students. Most students depend on off-campus placements and self-preparation. The college focuses more on attendance than practical skills. Students mainly need to attend classes and sit for long hours without gaining much practical knowledge or skill.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is below average, with basic, old, and small labs, chairs, and library facilities. In one building, multiple departments like MBA, BCA, and B.A. LL.B. are running together.

Faculty: Teaching is very theoretical and similar to school-level learning. The curriculum is not fully industry-oriented, so students need to learn relevant skills on their own. Exams are manageable with regular attendance. After the first year, students need to study on their own because some faculty members lack updated subject knowledge. Phones and laptops are not allowed during class. The IoT department is very strict. Students get limited time for self-learning, projects, and internships.

Good placement with an amazing college life.

Placements: Placements at Galgotias University are decent, with the average package being around 4 LPA-6 LPA. The internship opportunities are also available for students. Galgotias has too much crowd in college, especially in B.Tech, so you have to work hard. Computer Science and Engineering. The placement support is good, but students need to work on their skills to get better offers.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at Galgotias University is one of the best in Greater Noida. The 52-acre campus is modern and well-maintained with smart classrooms, a beautiful library, and full Wi-Fi access but only in blocks. In grounds even your mobile data does not work properly. Hostel facilities are also good with well-maintained rooms, proper security, and decent food. The campus environment is chill and student-friendly which makes college life enjoyable.

Faculty: Faculty members are very supportive and help students in their studies and projects. The curriculum gets updated often. It has topics that are relevant to the industry especially in new areas like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and exams are not too tough. You can pass them easily if you study regularly.

Other: I chose AI & ML because I believe it has a great future. The course helps students learn modern technologies. Campus life is very fun with fests and events. Our college organises events regularly throughout the year. The crowd in B.Tech is generally focused on studies and career growth but in some other courses some students are very bad and not focused on studies just hanging around on campus and fighting unnecessarily in the university.
