“Words of Trust”
“I entered the Pharmacy profession after not having qualified for medicine and I couldn’t be more happy things worked out the way it did. Being a SKBian has been an exponential growth curve for me. I started out as an inexperienced fresher and learnt a lot of life lessons along the way. The atmosphere has been conducive to learning since the start and I have enjoyed my interactions with all my teachers, seniors and peers.” –Komal Muley (B.Pharm 7th semester)
“I feel like I am getting to learn so much at SKBCOP. I enjoy reading and the exposure I got here has been tremendous. The academics and studies are always rigorous, we are focused and determined to not be left behind. The Seminars, workshops and short courses as well as cultural activities, camps, excursions allow us to broaden our horizons which is something that I look forward to. Being a part of the Student council I was also privy to the pressures of handling a large number of students but it instilled confidence in me.” –Diksha Patel (B.Pharm 8th semester)
