Amrita School of Pharmacy Fees Structure & Courses 2025, Kochi

The course that I have taken is Bachelor of Pharmacy. It's a four year Undergraduate course in pharmacy which deals more with drug dispensing and formation of a new drug. The reason for me to choose the course was to be in medical field that deals with medicine other than MBBS. And also, Since my childhood I'm very curious to know what happens to a drug when administered to our body. That curiosity made me to choose this course. The admission to the college is based on entrance exam and personal interview conducted. The entrance exam will be conducted in February - March and based on the rank the students get shortlisted. The exam syllabus will be related to the 11th and 12th standards’ topics. After the short listing, they will be called for personal interview. It will be based on our personal details. After both these phases, if selected they will be informed. If not selected in Merit, Management and NRI seats are also available. But the fees will be higher than Merit seats.

I joined the college opting for the Pharm.D (Doctor of Pharmacy) course. It is a six-year-long integrated program, which includes five years of study and one year of internship in the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi. The eligibility criteria for the course require to fulfill any of the one below: The candidate should have passed 10 & +2 with physics and chemistry in the subjects studied. Also, they should hold a pass mark of 50%. The candidate should have passed D.Pharm from an institution approved by the UGC & PCI. He/she must have passed any other course recommended by the PCI, which is considered equal to the above. The applied candidates have to face an entrance exam covering questions from Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Maths.

I was interested in the medical field and was eager to study about drugs. It also explains about drugs and teaches about how to use the drugs clinically. So, it could cover both my interests, and thus, I opted for this course. The course subjects include topics related to chemistry, biology, statistics, clinical and pharmaceutical concepts. It could definitely meet my expectations and was something that I wished to study. The course provides opportunities for jobs in pharmaceutical industries, hospitals as clinical pharmacists, and research areas, with a good salary package.
