Pharmacy colleges in Kerala flouting rules in admitting students for Pharm D course

Taking advantage of government apathy, the managements of the private pharmacy colleges in Kerala are allegedly flouting the rules and regulations enacted by government for admissions for pharmacy courses, specifically for Pharm D programme.

The breach of norms includes collection of capitation fees even from meritorious students and violation of reservations guaranteed for OBC and SC-ST candidates.

The supercilious managements are at their willfulness to defy the merit quota for admissions and fill up all the 30 seats (100 per cent) of the Pharm D in management quota, says students seeking admissions to the six year course.

According to some admission seekers, certain colleges are asking for a sum of Rs. 10 lakhs as capitation fee in addition to the annual course fees. The course fee for the first year of Pharm D comes around Rs. 2 lakh. Students who secured over 98 per cent marks at Plus 2 level also have to pay capitation fee for their admissions.
