Dr. DY Patil Dnyan Prasad University School of Pharmacy & Research offers admission to B.Pharma courses solely on the basis of merit obtained in qualifying examination. However, the institute has specified a minimum aggregate of 45% in Class 12. Candidates with 45% or more have a pretty good chance at getting into the university. However, candidate must have completed Class 12 from a recognised state or national board.

In India, admissions to PharmD programs normally open in June and July and deadlines may come as late in July or early August. But particular dates are different depending on the university and state-level entrance (such as TS EAMCET, Andhra Pradesh EAMCET, MHT CET, GPAT, NEET, KCET). To determine exact admission requirements and schedules, it is important to visit personal college websites and watch out state common entrance tests notifications on the 2025-2026 school year.

Dibrugarh University: Apps opened June 13, deadline extended till July 19. If you've got a BPharma (55%+), apply with your GPAT or CUET-PG score. If seats are still open, they might hold an entrance test.
RIPANS: No test—GPAT score only. Apply July 1–25. Merit list drops Aug 4, counselling on Aug 5, and classes kick off Aug 11. Keep tabs on ripans.ac.in and dibru.ac.in for updates.

Pharm.D is a six-year professional programme combining five years of academic study with one year of clinical internship. It focuses on clinical pharmacy, therapeutics, drug interactions, and hospital pharmacy training. The course is recognised by the Pharmacy Council of India and equips graduates to work as clinical pharmacists in hospitals or pharmaceutical industries. While Pharm.D holders use the “Dr.” prefix professionally due to their clinical expertise, it is not equivalent to an MBBS degree. Career paths include working in hospital pharmacies, pharmacovigilance, and pursuing research or higher studies in healthcare fields.
