    Placement Analysis: Graduates At Top Pharma Colleges In India Opt For Higher Studies
    Synopsis

    Over 90 per cent of pharmacy students who were enrolled for a four-year undergraduate programme graduated in the academic year 2021-22. This is just 0.20 per cent more than the graduation percentage in 2020-21. Read this article to discover the stats of the students graduating, placing, and opting for higher education as per NIRF 2023.

    Under the pharmacy category, National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) evaluated 435 colleges within the pharmacy category in their latest report. The list included colleges that offer a four-year undergraduate (UG) programme, a two-year postgraduate (PG)programme, or both in pharmacy.

    In this analysis however, Careers360 has considered top 10 colleges with a four-year UG programme in pharmacy. National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research located in Hyderabad, Mohali, Guwahati, Ahmedabad and Raebareli have been left out as these institutes only provide a two-year PG programme in pharmacy.

    Our analysis studies the percentage of student graduates, their placement status, and the number of students pursuing higher education. This article will investigate the said parameters over the last four years. We have also analysed the percentage of enrolled students from the same state, different states or from different countries studying in the pharmaceutical institutes.

    The result of our analysis shows that students are focusing on acquiring higher education after their graduation rather than taking employment. The participation of female students in the programme is highly commendable.

    Graduated With Higher Numbers

    The average percentage of students graduating in 2021-22 has just increased by 0.20 percentage points since 2020-21. Percentage points here refer to the difference between percentage values. The growth in the percentage of students was much higher in previous years.
