Freshers FAQs

Job placement is an important part of Cliniminds programs since 2004. This is one of the primary reasons freshers enroll in Clinical Research, Pharmacovigilance, and Clinical Data Management programs.

Cliniminds takes responsibility for supporting freshers in their job placement journey until their final selection in a company. We train students as per industry job roles through domain training, hands-on software training, relevant certifications, interview preparation, CV guidance, and by arranging job interviews with companies.

We expect students to actively engage in the learning process, attend interviews sincerely, improve their English communication skills, and become comfortable working with computers.

Yes. Our programs include hands on software training and students are provided access to the software on their laptops for hands on practice and practical exercises.

Our hands on software training is conducted on Clinevo, Quantum Quip, Clinsoft and TARA PV. Once you learn how to use one software, you can easily adapt to others, as the workflows and processes are largely similar.

Cliniminds has been integrating software training into its programs for over 12 years. Since 2004, we are working closely with the life sciences industry to understand employer expectations and prepare students with job ready skills.

No, you do not need the Oracle Argus or LSMV to get the job in pharmacovigilance. Same way you do not need Oracle Clinical and Medidata Rave for getting the job in clinical data management.

It is like to learn car driving; you are looking for BMW or Mercedez. You don’t need Mercedez and BMW to learn Driving.

For getting the job you must know the pharmacovigilance fundamentals, regulations, end to end case processing (ICSRs), QC, and understanding of other aspects of Pharmacoviglance like aggregate report writing, PSMF etc. Tools like Clinevo would provide you good hands-on training on safety database.

In the same way of getting the job in Clinical Data Management you must know have good understanding of clinical trials, basics of clinical trials projects management, regulations and essential documents and some basic EDC or CDM software.

Hands-on training on other pharmacovigilance / safety databases like Clinevo which are as good as Oracle and are licensed to be used for training purposes. However, platforms like Oracle Argus or LSMV are extremely expensive and these companies do not allow them for the purpose of training. There are some institutes who use Argus and LSMV software illegally acquired pirated versions. The licensed versions require huge investment in crores and would make training very expensive. Companies like Oracle and LSMV do not allow institutes to use their software for the purpose of training the students.

Clinevo on the other hand is licensed for the training and is as good as Argus or LSMV and used by hundreds of global CROs and Pharma companies. Once you learn Clinevo, you can easily work on Oracle Argus and LSMV. Same way some exposure on Quantum Quip or Clinsoft will give you reasonably good understanding of clinical data management.

At Cliniminds, students receive hands on software training and practice access on industry-relevant platforms such as Clinevo for pharmacovigilance, Quantum Quip for Clincial Data Management and ETMF and Clinsoft for EDC.

Once you learn the workflow and process on one software, adapting to other industry software becomes much easier because the core functions are similar.

Yes, we strongly recommend using a laptop for this program. The training includes hands-on software sessions and practical case studies, which are best completed on a laptop.
