Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means medicines from lab to patient: pharmaceutics, pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmacognosy, with a lot of lab time. Typical first jobs: pharmacist, drug-safety or regulatory associate, or medical representative. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask ICT Mumbai for the current semester-wise plan.

Here is how the fee on record breaks down. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with ICT Mumbai before you pay anything.

To be considered for B.Tech. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology, you usually need Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, plus Chemistry, Computer Science or another technical subject; most colleges ask for roughly 45–60% in these subjects. The minimum marks on record at ICT Mumbai are: X: 0.0, XII: 45.0, Graduation: 0.0.

Admission to this kind of course is usually through JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check ICT Mumbai's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.
