HOPE….!!! Alternative for GATE-PY
Dear Friends, I am very happy to know the relaxing news…With an enthu to know info about Pharmacy common entrance test organizers as an alternative to GATE-PY exam, we had a telephonic discussion with our honorable PCI (Pharmacy Council of India) President, Prof. B. Suresh garu and with his inputs we can take a relaxing breath regarding today’s hot issue GATE-PY… In his own words what he replied to our anxiety:-
“ ………No need to worry about common entrance test for Pharmacy Graduates. Earlier GATE, organized by iit’s was our official exam, now iit’s were not conducting, then other body will conduct, that is our official body PCI.Already we (PCI) sent proposal letter, regarding framing of an ALL India common entrance test for Pharmacy graduates, to Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India. We are looking forward for their consideration and permission. As and when we get positive reply from them it will be officially announced. So, Don’t bother about this issue and we will properly plan for the appropriate feature………”
So my dear friends, make this details known to all our fellow pharmacos such that they will be tense free…

GATE 2010 Pharmacy paper
Dear Lipi,
There are still so many clouds around our discussions, so be patient and wait for a moment....
Meanwhile have a look into the below link:
http://www.pharmainfo.net/interviews/executive-interview-qa-drbsuresh-ip...
Not yet any clear instructions regarding unknown entrance exam. So please bear the confusion for some more period till we get clear info.
Whatever may be the exam, pattern or other, you it will be from ppharmacy subjects only, so first concentrate on your studies without any thoughts, someday you will get full info, dont worry about that. But whenever any transformation is expected the first batch students has to face the problems, and you are one in that, so plz understand the situation and concentrate on your education nothing more than that....
GOOD LUCK...

Eswar.

Dear eswar !!!!
Thanks... thanks for the information. I am glad there is someone to help the needful students. Students like me need guidance and informations like this will make sure that we take the right decisions on right time. I have a lot of confusions. I have just done my B.Pharm from LBS College of Pharmacy, Jaipur. And i want to do M.pharm now. I told you that i have appeared in GATE 2009, and i hope i will qualify. Now, i want to know which of the institutes are best for a student like me of jaipur. Because threr is no government college or university in whole Rajasthan that can provide M.pharm. i know that there is a lot of information available on the internet.
But still, i want to clear some doubts in my mind, and i will feel blessed if you can answer some of my questions......
1. I want to join a production unit of any mid-scale to any MNC. So, is there enough scope for a B.Pharm fresher in the production line ? I mean , are there any jobs for a B.pharm student in the production line in the industry, and if it is there , what could be the expected pay scale ??
2. Is there any possibility that a student qualifies GATE , gets the admission to m.pharm, but does not get the stipend of 8000 Rs. that he is entitled to get.
I have some more similar questions.
I will be very thankful to you, if you could help me. i want to know the truth.
Please help me if you can.
Thanks and regards.
Sorry for late reply...
Dear Hitesh,
Hope U r doing good at your end.
If you have still any doubts, plz let me know.
1) Job oppportunities for a pharmacy graduate in industry are good and it all depends on few things like, status of the college, worth of the student, any known person in industry (reference), oppenings, area of work etc.
The pay scale ranges from 3,000/- to 12,000/- as per my knowledge and i have seen some of my friends working in this range. After gaining experience if you are worth enough the salary hike is not at all a problem. You can earn more than your expectation.
2) Any GATE qualified candidate is said to be eligible for stipend once he/ she get seat in any institute. If it is University first few persons will get stipend from UGC (University Grants Commission) whereas remaining students and private college based students get stipend from AICTE. The students should be aware of the notification given by the authorities and should proceed via proper channel i.e., through college.
However i am not sure if a student join by NRI quota, he/she may get stipend or not. It all depends on the college and authority.
Hope somehow clear about your doubts.
GOOD LUCK

Eswar.

Thank you
thank you for wishing me for the future...I hope I would succeed in achieving what I aimed for...
HOPE floats
Dear Eswar, Nice to see your dedication in this topic, you have took a good & appreciable step. But as the rule goes once the government gets one proposal, it takes many years to be implemented (MHRD has worst record in this regard). Let's hope that this case goes as exception to it.
It will be really good if the Pharmacy field comes as independent & not subsidiary to medicine or engineering branches. Although we may be grouped under technical or applied sciences but still we do have our own existence. I think this is an opportunity to prove this fact.
If the initiatives are already started we can expect some good results, which will help to resolve the confusion & doubts from the mind of students.
Yes..
Dear Lucky, it may take time to work out, But still some time is there as for 2009 admissions there is no problem, only worry is abt 2010 admissions, So even by that time if our authorities plan properly means it is happy for Us.

gate 2009
Hi.. I am hitesh. I want to do m.pharm. i have appeared in gate 2009. I am confident that i will qualify. Will i get monthly stipend once i qualify and get admission. Does every student who qualifies the gate exam get the stipend ???
Dear Hitesh!
Congrats for your confidence!
Coming to Stipend, Based on the way you join in PG, it varies. In Universities first few members will get stipend from UGC (University Grants Commission) and other students will get stipend from AICTE. Those who join through NRI seat I dont think they get stipend. Even in private colleges if U join through councelling U can get stipend from AICTE.
Hope the best and Good Luck for your future education.

very good, Eswar
Dear Eswar
It is great that you took the initiative to contact a top person in the field to get the information. And the information itself is simply great and superb. In fact if GATE is conducted by Pharmacy people it would be much better and easier for pharmacy students. Sometimes , especially in the earlier days , the questions used to look like they were given by specialists in Chemistry or Botany or engineering rather than by pharmacy people. Good if our entrance comes into our hands.
Congratulations, Eswar.

Dear Vijaya Ratna Mam,
Thank U very much for your wishes and encouragement.
As U mentioned if the paper is set by pure Pharmacy professionals then it is said to be justified.
Hope it will work out..

A positive news
Good that you shared this news with the fraternity. It is a sign of pharmacy becoming independent. As you have quoted Dr. Suresh that the proposal is sent to HRD ministry and PCI is awaiting response from the minstry, the time frame is not set.
We know that there would be a general election shortly and if there is a new government formed, again the proposal would linger with the ministry as new minister would take charge.
PCI should vigorously follow up with the ministry to clear the proposal before the general elections so that it would get atleast a year's time to prepare and transform conducting common entrance exam for graduates on the lines of GATE.
Earlier the clearance, better for the students and PCI.
