Pharmacy logo is represented by a bowl and serpent, a symbol representing Pharmacy. The serpent signifies wisdom and symbolizes guardianship. The bowl stands for medicinal mixture used for healing. The R part of the symbol stands for the Latin ‘recipere’ which means ‘take this’ and it is related to the word ‘recipe’. The X part of the symbol is derived from the symbol for the Roman God, Jupiter. It represents prayer or invocation to Jupiter that the treatment would result in a cure, with the help of the Divine. So RX really means ‘take this and pray’. It goes back to ancient Roman times when people believed that if you were sick, it was because you had offended gods and the illness was retribution.

India stands fourth largest in Pharmaceutical value in the world. India files highest number of DMFs and many MNCs are opting India for manufacturing their bulk drugs and brand drugs. Naturally, this offers tremendous scope for quality Pharmacy graduates.
