College with the lowest fees in Pharma.D all over India.
Placements: Placements aren't there because the most super seniors batch are now in the 5th year. So, after 2 years we will come to know about our placements. But for now, we are going on hospital rounds in P. D. U. hospital (Civil hospital) of Rajkot. Students from 2nd years onwards goes for hospital rounds every week according to the schedule.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. The department does not give Wi-Fi facilities. Labs and classroom are good enough. Library has tones of books. University has boys' and girls' hostel with minimal fees, around INR 2500 for girls. There is also sports complex in university which is awesome.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. And if you put interest in then they are definitely going to put more. External papers are prepared by other universities' faculty members. Minimum pass percentage is 50%. Every year, 3 internals and 1 external exams are there.
Other: I chose this course and particularly this college because it has the lowest fees all over India. And this course focuses more on clinical practice.

Review of Saurashtra University.
Placements: There are no placements from Saurashtra University in the department of pharmaceutical sciences. Pharma.D is a 6-year course, and the final year is for an internship in the civil hospital managed by Saurashtra University. Around 60-70% is required for students in 12th science to take admission here.
Infrastructure: Free Wi-Fi is available in the whole Saurashtra University. In the pharmacy department, many laboratories are available, like a pharmacology lab, pharmaceutical lab, microbiology lab, chemistry lab, organic chemistry lab etc. Good facilities are available in the hostel. 1-2 canteens are available in the university.
Faculty: All the faculty members have M.Pharma and Ph.D. The faculty-student ratio is 1:30. There are 3 exams every year, two internal exams for 30 marks and one external exam for 70 marks per subject. The passing percentage in Pharma.D is 50%.

I am dissatisfied with the canteen, as it’s a concern for all the students.
Placements: This is the first placement season for our course, so I’m not entirely sure about the college placements, and it’s not quite meeting my expectations. However, I believe it will improve in the upcoming years. All students in our course got a one-year internship at Civil Hospital in Rajkot.
Infrastructure: The facilities at our university are quite good, except for the canteen. The canteen doesn’t meet my needs and expectations, and I hope the college improves it. The infrastructure of the university is well-developed and spacious. I don’t know much about the hostel and hostel mess, as I don’t live in the college hostel.
Faculty: Our faculty members are very helpful, and most of them are Ph.D. qualified. The course curriculum is quite relevant, and they prepare students for industrial and clinical research. The exams in our course aren’t too difficult, with a pass percentage of 50%.
