Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff - they all have PhDs. And let me tell you, you won't find more supportive faculty anywhere else. They follow the new Education Regulation for Diploma, so we're getting a top-notch education. We have 2 sectionals and practical exams, plus a big yearly exam for both theory and practical knowledge.
Placement: The college doesn't help Diploma students with placements, but for Bachelor's, companies like Sun Pharma and Cipla come for interviews. Mostly, Cipla is the main company for placements. I haven't seen any placements for Diploma students, but some seniors did get interviews on their own after graduating.
Campus: This college is the first one to offer a Diploma in pharmacy. The main building looks old, but there are labs for every subject in different small buildings. Three galleries and Wi-Fi are available for students. Unfortunately, the hostel for Diploma students got wrecked in 2019, so we can't stay there anymore. But there are some paying guest options near the college. The college is next to a big playground and the Jalpaiguri district hospital.

Admission: The teachers here are okay, but not super helpful. Some of them are really smart, so the teaching is just okay. They don't really prepare us for the industry, though. The pass rate is around 50%, and the semester is really tough.
Placement: Most students here get placed in different industries, which is awesome. I heard the highest salary is around 4.2 LPA, the lowest is 1.8 LPA, and the average is like 2.4-2.7 LPA. If you graduate from here, you have good chances to find a job in different fields based on your skills.
Campus: The college has bad infrastructure with no Wi-Fi. Labs are dirty and classrooms are not clean. There are no separate bathrooms for students and no hostel either. I can't comment on the food or medical facilities. The canteen food is expensive and low quality.

Admission: I liked some teachers, they were really helpful. But there were a few who weren't helpful at all, and they would pick on you if you disagreed with them. They'd even threaten to lower your exam grades, which was pretty bad. Classes weren't held every day. Only one teacher was really organized and taught us well.
Placement: Last year our college didn't have any job placements, but some teachers really go out of their way to help students find jobs. Mr. Swapan Kumar Pathak is known for being super helpful. I heard that Cipla hired 5 students from our batch last year, and they offered a salary package of 2.2 LPA.
Campus: The college's infrastructure isn't great. It's a state government college, so the lab equipment isn't well-maintained. Last year, they only gave us 25 MB of Wi-Fi daily. There's a canteen, but the food quality isn't that good.

Admission: The teachers are knowledgeable, but classes aren't consistent. Sometimes they get delayed because of issues with the college or university. It can mess up your study routine.
Placement: A lot of students get great opportunities both off-campus and on-campus. Companies like Sun Pharma, Cipla, and Lupin Pharma come to hire students. We also have chances with Sikkim-based pharmacy companies. And there are marketing jobs available too. It's a good place for job prospects.
Campus: The B. Pharma hostels are open, but the D. Pharma hostels are closed for maintenance right now. The hostel for boys isn't the best. The yearly hostel fees are low, but the food is only for B. Pharma boys.

Admission: The teachers knew their stuff and were really helpful. The course content was up-to-date and met national standards. The semester exams weren't too tough. The curriculum prepared us well for the industry. Almost everyone passed with a 97% success rate.
Placement: Most students found jobs after graduation in the last five years. The salary packages varied from 4.5 LPA to 10 LPA. Big companies like Cipla, Sun Pharma, and others hired many students. Almost everyone got internships at places like Cipla and Sun Pharma. The job roles were mostly MR and pharmacist.
Campus: The classrooms were big, but there was no Wi-Fi. The library was small, but the labs were nice. The food in the cafeteria was okay. They had medical help all the time. They had sports and games often. Water was always available. You could live off-campus too.

Admission: The faculty here is a mix some are really great, while others are lacking. But overall, the teachers are super helpful and really care about us. A lot of them have Ph.Ds and are well-educated. I feel lucky to have them as my professors. The difficulty level is just average, which is nice.
Placement: The placement scene for D. Pharma isn't great, but for B. Pharma, it's pretty good. About 60% of students land jobs in different Pharma companies after graduating. IOPJ is an old pharmacy college in India, and it's good. Companies like Cipla come for placements.
Campus: The course infrastructure isn't great because there aren't enough teachers for some pharma subjects. B. Pharma students have a hostel, but D. Pharma students don't. The college canteen is there, but it's a bit pricey.

Admission: All the teachers here are really helpful whenever you need them. They all have a PhD, so you know they're legit. The teaching is top-notch at our college. Students are great too, they're on top of their studies and have hands-on skills too.
Placement: Around 60% of us in the course found jobs, with the highest salary being Rs. 20,000 and the lowest Rs. 10,000. Cipla is the main company that hires us. About 56% of us also got internships. Just make sure you attend all practical classes.
Campus: The college has Wi-Fi for everyone, good labs, and always clean classrooms. Each department has its own library with all the books we need. Hostel is great quality. Sports and games are awesome, plus we have a huge ground for them.

Admission: The teachers at our college were awesome! They had master's degrees or Ph.Ds and knew their stuff. The exams were not too hard, and the teachers gave us everything we needed to prepare. It was a great experience learning from them.
Placement: A lot of students in my batch were pretty smart. But no companies came to campus to offer jobs when we were graduating.
Campus: The campus was nice but could use some fixing up. We had classes in regular classrooms. Unfortunately, there was no Wi-Fi, and the cell service wasn't great. There was a canteen where both students and teachers could grab food.

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful, and you only need a 70% to pass. They teach us directly and then we practice on our own and do projects. I've done experiments and presentations on pharmaceutical stuff. The teachers always show up on time. Overall, everything at our college is great.
Placement: The total package is 100,000 from the first to fourth year, which is great. You can do internships in hospitals and get industrial training in Assam, especially in the pharmaceutics department, which is awesome. Seniors have had impressive internship results, and companies like Sun Pharma and McLeod come for recruitment. Overall, everything is really good here.
Campus: The classrooms are awesome, super clean, and there's a library too. The labs are also really clean, and the teachers are great. Everyone is so into learning, and the way teachers and students talk is top-notch. The teachers really know their stuff, and we're doing so well academically.
