From HOD's

Desk

I welcome you all to the Diploma in Pharmacy home page on behalf of the team MET’s

Institute of Pharmacy (METIOP). METIOP is a chief Pharmacy institute not only in Nashik

but throughout Maharashtra. After establishing high educational standards and being

accredited by NAAC and NBA, securing a good NIRF ranking, and approval under UGC

2f/12B norms, the institute has begun offering a Diploma in Pharmacy (D. Pharmacy)

course from the year 2021–22.

This course is approved by Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), Directorate of Technical

Education (DTE), and the Government of Maharashtra and is affiliated with the

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE), Mumbai.

During the COVID pandemic, the fields of education and pharmacy have seen rapid

advancement. The D. Pharmacy department believes in evolving and progressing in

response to educational demand, and we offer our students a unique blend of practical and

theoretical knowledge. The primary goal of this course is not only to teach students but

also to nurture budding pharmacists.

A student’s growth is influenced by both their normal academic activities as well as their

participation in numerous extracurricular activities. At METIOP, we strive to help our

students realize and pursue their goals by organizing field visits, entrepreneurial

development programs, and other progressive activities.

Pharmacists are an integral element of the healthcare system and are tasked with ensuring

community health. I am certain that my students, being a part of MET's Institute of

Pharmacy, will conduct their professional practice in the most ethical and responsible

manner possible.
