I'm pursuing B.Pharma 3rd year & am quite confused about my career. What would be the best option: M.Pharma or pharma MBA?

Hello, This totally depends on the intensity of your interest shifted towards either research field or business domain during your graduation in pharmacy. Yes, Pharma MBA is the emerging field. No doubt, if you want to mingle both your business and biology bent of mind, then this will prove beneficial for you. Otherwise, M.Pharma is an already established field. So choose wisely as per your interest! All the best.

It is very clear. Take your step in which you are more interested. Both courses are good. MBA would have small advantage.

The decision would be based on your interest areas and long term career plans. If you want to pursue a career in academics / technical / research areas then M.Pharma would be a better option However if you want to move into general management / operations side, then MBA would be better.

Master in pharmacy is deviated in various different fields. By recent field report, M.Pharma in pharmaceutics is most valuable in India whereas in the US and other foreign countries pharmacology is well established. Pharmaceutics is a unique subject deals with all F&D, production, etc. So, the scope is clear. Though some places of pharmacology are absorbed by MBBS but M.Pharma in pharmacology is competitive with MBBS. A person with Pharmacology can enter in preclinical and clinical studies. Herbal Drug industry is booming in India and other parts. So pharmacognosy is bigger aspect now. Demand of herbal drugs are elevated due to less side effects. Himalaya, Zandu, Dabur and so many are standing in squad and looking for such person. Recent Market shows that M.Pharma with chemistry are less absorbed in industry than B.Sc. Chemistry. Because in pharma chem. , we are more concentrating on SAR of the drug molecules. Pharma-analysis is other important line where one can go for QA, QC etc. And other fields like biotech, microbiology have less chance in it. It is unique, so you can also go for it. MBA : If you are very good in management and personally have leadership quality just get in to MBA. Pharma MBA is most demanded in market. You are from pharmacy background, therefore you can get more beneficial than others. In recent economic recession only pharma-industries are remain unaffected or less affected than any other industries in the world. So be in the field in more beneficial. Other than it, HR studies is also valuable in any companies or industries. MBA in HR is good but In interview first of all you will be asked that why you did pharmacy? You can do same with any other B.Com or B.A. So, you have to mentally prepare your self for such argues.
