Yes, many colleges and universities conduct entrance exams for admission to the Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) course, though some institutions may offer direct admission based on merit (marks obtained in Class 12).

- University-Level Exams: Several universities like Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) and Punjab University (PU) conduct specific entrance exams for B.Pharm.
- National-Level Exams: A few private universities like Amity University and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University may also have their own entrance tests.
