No admission in 35 pharmacy colleges

Updated on: Thursday, June 16, 2011

The Joint Admission Committee for Professional Courses (JACPC) has barred 35 self financed pharmacy colleges from admitting students for the year 2011-12. These colleges have been asked to furnish required approvals by July 1.

Officials of JACPC said that of 92 pharmacy colleges, 35 did not have required approval from the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). The issue came to light when PCI, in a letter to JACPC, cautioned authorities against admitting students in these colleges that had yet to be approved. Acting on the letter, JACPC has asked the colleges to furnish PCI approval else they would not be permitted to admit students for the current academic year.
