Clinical Research is the basically the testing of drug/biologicals/ or medical device/s on human beings to verify the safety, effectiveness of the same in human beings.
Job profile is varied depending upon basic graduation: CRA, Clinical Data management, Pharmacovigilance, medical writer, regulatory affair, and/or KPOs.
Every professional post grad incurr a cost- be it MBA/MPHARM/MCA, thus Clinical research is no difference, if u proceed the course diligently it’s worth getting PGD in pharma management and Clinical research masters degree(Cranfield university, UK).
Entrance test depends on ur basic graduation qualification, Be thru with ur grad subjects and brush up pharma industry knowledge.
Decide ur aim of coming into it and ur priorities..Stay focussed!!

So,It depends on one’s graduation course…I m a B.Sc.Zoology student…is this course good for zoology students… i dont evn hav basic knowledge of pharmacy..In other pg courses lik biotech,forensic nd all..they giv us a prescribed syllabus for entrance test preperation…does ICRI give a particular syllabus for entrance test?
Is ICRI a right institute to do clinicals? i hv heard that its nt certified by ugc?i hv evn heard that watevr icri is saying in its advertisement lik students can earn rs50000-125000 is completely wrong…Actual salary a icri passout is getting is 14000-15000…

C in india except from IIM and IITS and some top notch MBAs no one starts from 10 lakhs or so,,,and in pharma/medical world thats not possible at fresher level!! however once u get experience you start getting good salaries!!starting salary is in range of 13 to 25000 for qualification likes u!! ICRI runs on the same model as IIPM rns in delhi!!not recognised byUGC but succesfully offering courses!! sO NO FALSE claims!! As the salaries that are advertised are for international placements,,India is still in fancy at this stage and will grow further buddy!! so there’s no hype!! just stick to the basics! the exams will be from urzoology background!! no worries!!
