Why choose Kempegowda, Bangalore?
Kempegowda gives students hands-on clinical/practical exposure through its attached teaching facilities and a structured internship, which is what employers and PG-entrance examiners value most. Studying in Bangalore adds the advantage of a established healthcare-education ecosystem, peer hospitals for postings, coaching for licensure/PG entrances, and good transport connectivity for students from across Karnataka and other states. When you shortlist Kempegowda, weigh the fee tier you qualify for, the campus and hospital infrastructure, faculty strength and the internship stipend — not just the brand name.
After the pharmacy programme: internship, registration & higher studies
The programme includes a compulsory rotating internship, after which graduates register with the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) / state pharmacy council to practise. From there the common paths are M.Pharm, Pharm D (post-baccalaureate) or an MBA in pharma management, or going straight into work — typical roles include hospital and community pharmacy, pharmaceutical manufacturing and QA/QC, clinical research (CRO), drug regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, medical writing and academia. Many Kempegowda graduates also prepare during internship for PG-entrance exams or overseas licensure, so it pays to plan that timeline from the first year rather than the last.
