Mathematics is not considered a core subject in D Pharma. However, it is good to have a basic knowledge of math. You will need mathematics to handle pharmaceutical calculations when looking at dosages and measurements.
Students that have the background of PCM or PCB in 12th grade are eligible for D Pharma. Additionally, students in most colleges will stress basic math somewhere in the course.

In a hospital pharmacy, typically D Pharma graduates work with the healthcare team, manage in-patient medication usage, and must adhere to very strict protocol. In a community pharmacy setting, however, you directly work with the general public, fill prescriptions, and offer limited health advice.
In short, the differences in the work setting, the patients themselves, and what the responsibilities are vast.
