In December 2024, Princeton College of Pharmacy successfully organized Industrial Training for the final year B.Pharmacy students (2021–2025 batch) as a vital component of their academic curriculum. The training was designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, offering students hands-on experience in the pharmaceutical industry before they step into professional careers.
This mandatory training program spanned four weeks, during which students were placed in well-reputed pharmaceutical companies, manufacturing units, and research laboratories. Collaborations were established with industry leaders to ensure students gained exposure to real-time processes including formulation development, quality control, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, and production techniques.
The objective of the program was to provide students with insight into the working environment of the pharmaceutical sector, helping them understand the industry’s structure, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), standard operating procedures, and the importance of documentation. Under the guidance of industrial mentors and faculty coordinators, students were able to observe and participate in various departments, thereby enhancing their practical knowledge and professional skills.
Throughout the training, students maintained a detailed logbook of their daily activities and learning experiences. On completion, they submitted a comprehensive report and gave presentations, which were evaluated by a panel of faculty members.
This industrial training program plays a crucial role in shaping students into competent professionals by fostering discipline, teamwork, and technical confidence. It also helps them develop a clearer understanding of potential career paths within the pharmaceutical field.
Princeton College of Pharmacy remains committed to providing quality education through industry-integrated learning experiences. The December 2024 industrial training initiative stands as a testament to this vision, preparing students to meet the evolving demands of the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors with skill and professionalism.
