Only 10 Seats — Elite or Risky?
The micro batch means insane faculty attention and tighter hospital networks, but also zero room to hide in class. Hostel and scholarships are available, which helps if you're moving to Bengaluru for this.
The verdict
Worth considering
A solid hospital-facing upgrade for B.Pharm grads who want clinical credibility without an entrance exam. The 78% placement rate and recruiter roster spanning Apollo to CROs are strong signals. That said, the tiny batch size and moderate public data confidence mean you should campus-visit to verify live placement records, hostel quality, and scholarship rules before locking in.
