Good faculty, placement support, good infrastructure, and facilities.

Placements: 30 percent of students got their jobs in hospitals during the campus placement for a course like Pharma.D. Generally, colleges won't offer any placement support but MESCO is offering that. Apart from hospital roles like clinical pharmacist or physician assistant, we can also work on the corporate side as clinical research or pharmacovigilance specialists.

Infrastructure: I will say the infrastructure of MESCO is the best one compared to other colleges in the city. Labs are well furnished and equipped. Every classroom has projectors, square classes with 3 rows of benches, best to accommodate more students, and everyone can be attentive in the class.

Faculty: Most faculty in MESCO are PhD holders having in-depth knowledge in their subjects and are well prepared for the classes. The course curriculum makes the students industry-ready. The passing percentage is 50 percent as set by Osmania University (MESCO is affiliated to Osmania University).
