If you manage to do this, how will youmark your presence in both the classes which are bound to begin sooner or later. This online class scenario is not going to last long. In addition, invariably every University has mandated almost 75% attendance in classes for any student before allowing to appear for examination and colleges can refuse to give you hall ticket that enables you to appear for examination if you do not have this much percentage of attendance. If you can manage the attendance in both the classes to the level of 75% then you can perhaps think of doing it, but I have doubts whether you can legally do so hence I would advise you to be careful and do a thing which is not only legally correct and tenable but ethical also. Best wishes to you.

The strong base you have made and the understanding of the fundamentals of pharmacy will be further developed in the PGDM in pharmacy. Along with academic development, this course will also result in personality development. If you want to further enhance your understanding and skills in the pharmaceutical domain then better go for a Masters degree. Masters degree would be very useful if you want to make a career in research as you would get a broader picture about research activities.

Hello sujata, Pharmaceutical industry is a better option because your income will be fixed but in case of marketing you would be applied with terms and conditions such as you need to complete your target first then you will be paid. So industry is a better option. Hope this might help you.
