The unrecognized courses run by the educational institutions in the state continue to mar the prospects of students vying for a better future. More then 15 students, who have successfully cleared their diploma course in pharmacy from NIMS University last year, are crying foul now. They have not received a license from the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) required for a decent job. The reason is that their diploma certificates are not recognized by the council. “A decent job has become a distant dream for us. Even I can’t open a medical store for my livelihood,” said Padam Singh, a student struggling for a job. These students alleged that the university kept them in the dark regarding its recognition.
The existing students of pharmacy degree course have also opened a front against the university authorities. They alleged its administration of running the course without the approval of PCI. It is learn that the university introduced the course in 2006-07. But it had not approached the council for approval till April 2009, as per the PCI records. The final-year students of pharmacy now realize that if the university fails to get the recognition this year, their fate will be similar to those of the diploma holders. These students are staging an indefinite demonstration near Press Club asking the technical education minister to intervene in the matter.
However, university’s registrar K P Singh refuted the charges. “The inspection team is expected to arrive this month. We have fulfilled all the pre-requisites for the recognition,” he claimed and added that the course in registered with AICTE.
