•    Microspheres
•    Nano-pharmaceuticals (nano-particles, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, dendrimers, etc).

And thus, Pharmaceutics in M.Pharm is the

1. Most sought out specialization all over Pharmacy curriculum.
2. Core pharmacy subject, almost all other subjects are highly correlated with the other specializations of pharmaceutical sciences
3.  Premier placement scenario in the pharmaceutical production house is for Pharmaceutics
4.  M.Pharm, in Pharmaceutics get absorbed in industries 
 - For the pilot plant studies
- As pre-formulation pharmacist
- In formulation and development
- Regulatory Affairs
- R & D (Formulation methodology)
- Biopharmaceutical enhancement of the drug & formulation 
- IPQA (In Process Quality Assurance) - one of the best paid sectors in the pharmaceutical houses.
- Production process of core pharmaceuticals including cosmetics 
- PMT (Product Management Team) a very lucrative sector in pharmaceutical houses 

Department of Pharmacology,
Master of Pharmacy

Pharmacology is a branch of biomedical sciences, plays a vital role in drug discovery and development in identifying lead molecules having therapeutic potential with minimal toxicity. The thrust areas of research dealt under the postgraduate course structure include screening of herbal or new chemical entities for from the view points of pharmacological as well as toxicological studies, along with core area of health sciences.

In our college the Department of Pharmacology   has 08 faculty members (3 Associate Professors, 5 Assistant Professors) with wide range of academic and research experiences.

Subjects taught under M.Pharm in Pharmacology are:
•    Modern Pharmaceutical Analytical Techniques
•    Pharmacological & Toxicological Screening Methods
•    Cellular & Molecular Pharmacology
•    Principles of Drug Discovery
•    Clinical Research & Pharmacovigilance

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry,
Master of Pharmacy

Pharmaceutical (medicinal) chemistry is concerned with the design (drug design) and synthesis of biologically active molecules. The aim is to gain new chemical molecules that could enable the discovery of new pharmaceuticals or optimize already-known drug structures, thereby expanding the portfolio of chemical drugs. Although organic chemistry plays a crucial role, only knowledgeable pharmaceutical chemists can work effectively in a highly interdisciplinary environment and interact with scientists in other disciplines, such as molecular biology, structural biology, pharmacology, physical chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical technology, toxicology or with experts from the field of translational medicine, etc.

In our college the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry   has 08 faculty members (out of them, 1 Professor, 4 Associate Professors 3 Assistant Professors) with wide range of academic and research experiences.

The students will prefer Pharmaceutical Chemistry because:
