The
institute is accredited by NAAC s since 2009 and has secured
B Grade with CGPA of 2.68.
The
last decade has seen a paradigm shift in the way resources
are allocated, world over. There has been a gradual predominance
of market-determined allocation, which has led to the
emergence of a competitive environment and global economy.
With
the development of modern technology the concept of education
has totally changed. Education is now becoming a dynamic
process and every day one has to keep pace with the advances
in technology. In this era of cutthroat competition and
enormous amount of technological explosion, a mere degree
oriented course is not competent enough to secure good
opportunities in future.
Anand

is one such institution which aims at not only providing
good quality Pharmacists but also aims at the overall
development of the students. Apart from usual class room
sessions, students are also groomed and encouraged to

guided and supported for GATE exam preparation through

10000 questions. Extra curricular activities are also
being given adequate weight age.
