Pharmacy Eligibility

The D.Pharm Diploma education offers admission to students who succeed in their Class 12 year with 50% minimum marks in Physics Chemistry and Biology/Mathematics but some educational facilities use distinct qualifications. Students who fail Physics marks will encounter admission issues when seeking Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) admission because most educational institutions demand at least 50-60% Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Mathematics marks from Class 12 students. The B.Pharm lateral entry or D.Pharm programs could be suitable choices since they likely have less strict entry requirements. The educational costs at D.Pharm colleges usually fall between INR 50,000 and INR 1,50,000 annually.
