In this issue

This issue of Careers360 has ranked India's top 150 medical, dentistry and pharmaceutical colleges, and also over 100 universities that have come up in the past 15 years -- ranked overall and by discipline. This edition looks closely at the oft-neglected field of allied health sciences and the dozens of fake regulatory bodies churning out equally fake qualifications with impunity. Plus, there are interviews with the leaders of National Medical Commission, the Pharmacy Council of India, and top medical, nursing and pharmacy colleges. For the other half on young universities, there are deep explorations of the sudden spike in private universities in certain states; Kerala’s policy u-turn; cluster universities in Maharashtra and more.
