Katyayani College of Education, Meerut: Admission, Courses, Fees, Placements

Katyayani College of Education is a relatively young institute located in the area of Badaruddin Nagar Nanu, Sardhana, Uttar Pradesh. It was founded in 2017. Being a co-educational, affiliated college, it has been operating under approvals from Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The institute holds a compact campus of 2.5 acres and currently enrolls a total of 69 students with 6 members in the faculty. The two specialisations in pharmacy programmes offered by Katyayani College of Education demonstrate that pharmaceutical education does lie at the heart of the establishment. 

The college has excellent facilities for the learning and personal development of students. Its laboratory facilities are department-based, thus providing hands-on experience to students in their respective fields. A library is an essential tool for academic studies, which is available in the college. For the students who need accommodation in the college, separate hostel facilities are available for boys and girls. The campus also features sports facilities to help promote physical activity and team spirit among the students. Catering to both staff and students, there are cafeteria facilities where basic dietary needs are met, and there is a health center with first aid facilities to cater to at least basic medical care needs. 

The two full-time pharmacy courses presently under Katyayani College of Education are: the four-year Bachelor of Pharmacy course (B. Pharma); and the two-year Diploma in Pharmacy course (D. Pharma) with approved intake of 60 students in each course. So, there is a total of 120 student intakes for both courses. These focused curriculum approaches enable the college to hold a specialised curriculum in pharmaceutical education and to prepare students for careers in the pharmacy sector. 

One of the relatively new institutions, Katyayani College of Pharmacy, is trying to establish its name in pharmacy education. In this process, the offerings and facilities by the college may be extended even further for the development of the educational experience of its students as the college undergoes its growing and developing process.
