Undergraduate teaching:
Theory:
130±5 lectures as well as tutorials are conducted
during theory course coverage. 4 lecture per week
during the first term and 3 lectures per week during
the second and third term.
Practicals: Practical classes for Clinical Pharmacy,
Experimental Pharmacology, Promotional Drug
Literatures, Adverse drug reactions and

terms. Some simulated computer assisted practicals
are also conducted instead of using animals in
experimental pharmacology practicals. One practical
of 1.30 hours conducted per week for each batch.
(B)
Postgraduate teaching:

developments in the subject.
Practicals: Isolated and intact animal preparations
experiments are performed for bioassay and for
studying the effects of autonomic drugs in vitro and
in vivo preparations respectively. Also toxicology
related experiments are performed.
Dissertation: Dissertations are important to make
the post graduate students aware about every aspect
of research which involves finding research topic,
searching literature, research methodology,
statistics, analysis, scientific writing and many
other aspects. Dissertation topic along with plan of
