Hello Aspirant,

A student of pharmD 5th year should undergo the process of ethical committee clearance before doing any project on human subjects or even animals .
Ethical committee clearance assures that no animal or human was harmed or is going to be harmed during the study period ,
And there will be committe meeting consisting of different people , who will analyze your project protocol and also will ask you different questions regarding your title of the project ,

For the successful conducting of project ethical committe clearance is mandatory ,

I hope the above information is useful to you,

All the best !
