Research is the basis of pharma field. Neha from B.Pharm AISSMS College Of Pharmacy - COP  have been studying in a research-oriented pharmacy college. They were exposed to research projects from first year itself which makes them ready to face the industry after completion of degree course. And, having an experience of research project definitely adds a cherry on the top of their resume. Thus, it’s a must for student to inculcate themselves with a research project while pursuing a degree course.

Students at the start of their course are not aware enough of research projects .Thus , providing them the required information about what are research projects , how are they helpful and why should students look forward to inculcate in research is a must. The respected institutions should motivate the students towards starting a research project with their course itself.

Research is not only limited to pharma industry, it is practiced since ancient times by one or the other way , by all the age groups knowingly unknowingly, by the students and teachers by the institution , pharma companies/ industries, to have a developed and safe approach towards the medications which proves to be life saving for the humankind.

The respected institutions should motivate the students towards starting a research project with their course itself.

Because of which we learned to make a proper balance between our studies and our research work.
