Council of India (PCI) has published final scheme &

The full text syllabus is available at http://www.pci.nic.in/CollegesCourses/Syllabus_M_Pharm.pdf
As pharmabiz reports here: http://www.pharmabiz.com/NewsDetails.aspx?aid=98755&sid=1
The new M Pharm syllabus will be more of
practical oriented rather than theory and the students will have an option to
work with the industry and get a practical experience along with the stipend.
The new syllabus is all set and will appear
on the PCI
website since November 17, 2016. The council has assured that the
new syllabus will benefit the students as well as the industry.
Dr B Suresh, president of PCI says, "The new syllabus of M Pharm is a new
approach to postgraduate education. The two-year course will include a theory
based education, in the first year and in the second year we have included non
thesis as an option to research project. So the student can opt either for a
non thesis or research project for one year. The benefit of non thesis is that
the student will get a real practical experience during their course duration
itself and the industry can also utilise the human resources and get the best
of it."
The PCI will also have a tie-up with the
industry for the recruitment of the M Pharm students in the coming days. Along
with DCGI, the council is planning a meeting with the industry associations
regarding the non thesis option included in the M Pharm syllabus. It will also
request the industry to provide stipends to the students so that they are not
exploited and later on if the companies want they can also recruit them.
“We
have made a committee which will be working on the tie-ups with the industry.
We will be meeting the industry associations like IDMA, IPA, CIPI etc. in the
month of January or February”, said Dr Suresh.
