TRANSCRIPT
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES-M.PHARM (PHARMACEUTICS)
The Post-Graduates will acquire adequate scientific information regarding basic
principles of Pharmaceutics including Cosmetology, Specialized drug delivery systems.
They will also have hands on training of practical aspects of Synthesis of APIs and its
intermediates along with Formulation and Development, Analysis and Quality assurance
of various pharmaceutical dosage forms including those of herbal origin as per standards
of official books, WHO, and other regulatory agencies.
The Post-Graduate will be able to think logically and solve the problems, will develop an
ability to conduct, analyze and interpret data of pharmaceutical experiments in various
departments (Eg: Drug discovery, Formulation & Development, Production, Quality
control & Quality assurance etc) as per the needs of pharmaceutical industries
The Post-Graduates will develop an ability to visualize and work on multidisciplinary
tasks. They will be able to demonstrate necessary skills (eg.working independently, time
management and organizational skills).They will demonstrate an adaptable, flexible and
effective approach towards organizational development.
The Post-Graduates will develop interpersonal skills such as influencing others,
negotiating and working with others, conflict management and leading others through the
problem-solving process. They will be able to lead and function both individually and as
a member of a team.
The Post-Graduates will demonstrate knowledge of professional and ethical
responsibilities as per pharmaceutical jurisprudence. They will be able to demonstrate
knowledge and skills in all disciplines of Pharmaceutical sciences and develop a sound
pharmaceutical care plan to manage medication-related problems. They will retrieve,
evaluate, and apply current drug information in the delivery of pharmaceutical care and
assure safe and accurate preparation and dispensing of medications.
The Post-Graduates will demonstrate the impact of pharmacy knowledge on the society
and also will be aware of modern issues. They will create awareness of healthcare issues
through interactions with others and will gain a sense of self-respect towards community
and citizenship.
The Post-Graduates will be able to demonstrate a high-level of understanding of the key
stages in drug discovery, development, and commercialization. This will lead to the
manufacturing of drugs and pharmaceuticals considering its impact on the environment
and surrounding.
The Post-graduates will swear by a code of ethics of Pharmacy Council of India in
relation to community and shall act as integral part of a health care system. They will
demonstrate honesty, integrity, ethical understanding, and respect for others and will
carry out their professional responsibilities by adhering to high ethical standards.
The Post-graduates will acquire excellent interpersonal oral communication and writing
skills. They will be able to demonstrate knowledge and proficiency with current audio-
visual presentation technologies and develop an ability to communicate scientific
knowledge in non-expert/lay term by adopting various modes of scientific
communications (e.g., abstract, manuscripts, project reports, oral and poster presentations
etc). This will allow effective exchange of professional information
The Post-Graduates will master the key concepts in the discipline of their interest in
pharmaceutical sciences. They will demonstrate these skills to use modern
pharmaceutical tools, software, and equipments to analyze & solve problems.
The Post-Graduates will apply theoretical and practical skills developed through
classroom, laboratories and team project experiences and thus will develop confidence
and will be able to i) do specialized research in the core and applied areas of
pharmaceutical sciences. ii) manufacture, analyse and assure the drug based formulations.
iii) promote and market the pharmaceuticals and iv) train the budding pharmacist to
become self-reliant pharmacist and a health care professional.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES-M.PHARM (PHARMACEUTICS)
PO1. Pharmaceutical Sciences knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science,
pharmaceutical fundamentals, and a Pharmacy specialization to the solution of complex
Pharmaceutical problems.
PO1: Physicochemical properties of Formulations: The knowledge of importance of physical
properties of the different pharmaceutical ingredients and the factors influencing them is very
valuable for pharmaceutical dosage form design.
PO2: Unit Operations: Pharm. Engineering renders knowledge about the basic unit operations
that are taking place in pharmaceutical industry and the different factors associated with it. This
information is useful for both pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical engineering.
PO3: Entrepreneurship: The knowledge on different pharmaceutical dosage forms are
imparted on students. This knowledge comes while handling a pharmacy or a manufacturing unit
or in the further courses.
PO4: Design/Development of solutions: The information on solid dosage forms like tablets and
capsules, their formulation and quality control serves as an important perquisite for dosage form
design.
PO5: Application oriented Knowledge: The knowledge of biopharmaceutics enables the
students to visualize the effect of pharmacokinetic (ADMET) parameters on the biological effect
of the drug. The correlation of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is thus introduced and
is experimentally explained to them.
PO6: Environment and Sustainability: Enable extension of pharmaceutical dosage forms, and
enables the students to learn about different packaging materials used in pharmaceutical industry
and the factors governing their use.
PO7: Conduct investigations of complex problems: To understand biopharmaceutical
principles and pharmacokinetic principles through different compartment models, multiple
dosage regimens, non-linear pharmacokinetics, and assessment of bioavailability and
bioequivalence
PO8. Effective Citizenship: Demonstrate empathetic social concern and equity centered
national development, and the ability to act with an informed awareness of issues and participate
in civic life through volunteering.
PO9. Ethics: Recognize different value systems including your own, understand the moral
dimensions of your decisions, and accept responsibility for them.
PO10. Environment and Sustainability: Understand the issues of environmental contexts and
sustainable development.
PO11. Self-directed and Life-long Learning: Acquire the ability to engage in independent and
life-long learning in the broadest context socio-technological changes
