To be eligible to pursue a course in B.Pharmacy, one needs to pass 10+2 in science stream with physics, chemistry, and biology or mathematics. Normally, the cutoff percentage is within 50% to 60%, as considered by the colleges. Some may also demand aggregate marks in the qualifying examination for admission.
For getting admitted, most institutes conduct entrance exams, whether it is the state, national, or at the university level, which checks the candidate's aptitude in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/ Mathematics. Apart from this, a few institutes give direct admission on the basis of merit that takes into account the candidate's performance in 10+2 examinations. The age group also varies, depending upon the institutes; the age range is between 17-25 years of age. Each institution or university may have certain specific eligibility criteria. A wide range of pharmacy companies, pharmaceutical healthcare sectors, research, and academia are provided through a B.Pharmacy course, making this a very interesting field for graduates who are more interested in pharmacy sciences.
