Can I get a good job opportunity in US? Is there an entrance exam for the same?

Hi Kunal, If you want to practice you need to apply for a registration first. In order to become a pharmacist in USA, you will have to take the Pharm. D course. The M.Pharma from India is recognized however it is different from Pharm.D. To apply to a Pharm.D course you must complete an application through the Pharmacy College Application Service, known as PharmCAS. Post this, international students must also take the FPGEE (Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination) followed by the NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination). Also remember that for pharma jobs and in any health related professions domestic applicants are given more preference so you need to up your ante. Explore the US embassy website and write to them for more information on work permits, etc. For job details you can check out premier job search portals. You should also research some top pharmacy schools in USA, communicate with the university and find out information about how international students are placed. Research is key. Hope this helps and feel free to write back for any further clarification.
