Placements and Internships

- No internships are required in this course but a stipend of nearly Rs 15000 is provided to the PhD scholars and Masters students.
- Many famous companies like Sun Pharma hire Masters and PhD scholars based on interviews. Salary varies from company to company and also on the skills a student have.
- But a starting salary of 25000 can be expected if you are a Masters or PhD scholar.
- Scope is much less in this case for a Bachelor degree holder.
- The Alumni meet is organised via which you get to know various other fields you can explore besides research and teaching.
- Our alumni are currently working in various famous companies and are good position holders.
- Some of them are related to the field of Medical Writing as well which has good scope in near future.

- Admission fee is just thousand rupees which can be submitted to the university bank itself.
- A branch of State Bank of Patiala is located near the much famous gol market, which is a part of the university campus itself.
- After this, join in for the counselling sessions which are conducted near to the month of May- June. Exact dates shall be displayed on the university site.
- There may go around 2-3 counselling sessions which are entirely based upon your percentage scored in +2. Entrance exams I took: I gave NEET before I applied for admission into Punjabi University.
- But I must clear that your entrance exam scores shall not be considered at all for your admission into the university. Cutoffs: Cutoff value may vary year to year.
- But the minimum percentage that you must have scored in +2 is 85%. The session fee is around 45k for the first semester and 25000 for another semester.
- But concessions in fee are provided to the general students whose father's annual income is less than 1.5 lacs. The amount of concession to be given to a particular student is decided on the basis of a meeting held by the university authorities.
