If you do B Pharma, how much you earn depends on where you work, your experience, and your job role. Here's a simple idea:
Freshers can earn around INR 15,000 to INR 25,000 a month.
Mid-level people usually make INR 25,000 to INR 50,000.
Experienced ones can even earn between INR 50,000 to INR 1,00,000 per month.

Nope, you don't need NEET to get into B Pharma.
Usually, students get in through other exams like MHT CET, CUET, EAMCET, KCET, JEE Main, GUJCET, or KEAM. Some colleges also just look at your marks and give admission based on that.
