The verdict
Good fit
If you're an M.Pharm grad genuinely hyped about drug discovery and lab life, this is a solid move. NIRF top-100 rep, CSIR lab connections, and a total fee of just ₹3L make it financially sane. But keep it real: 40% placement and modest corporate salaries mean this path pays off in the long game—ideal for academia, regulatory bodies, or public R&D, not a quick industry bag.
