The verdict
Good fit
This is a solid pick if you are genuinely into herbal pharmaceuticals, natural product chemistry, or Ayurvedic drug development. With an 80% placement rate and recruiters like Himalaya, Dabur, and Emami, the industry connect is legit. Just remember it is hyper-specialized—if you want flexibility across modern synthetic pharma or clinical research, this might feel limiting.
