HiYes, I believe pharmacy is a good career because it comes with a sizable salary and flexible working hours. Moreover, pharmacists are among the most highly respected medical professionals, and they don't have to SEE blood while working. Pharmacy also comes with multiple options for where one wants to practice. You can procure a licence and start your own shop. These days universities are propelling the students of pharmacy to come out with more patents like LPU offers special grants and aids for helping the students for innovations and patents. Browse some the good web site o know the exact details. All the Best !

Hi, Pharmacy nowadays has a great scope as you know the diseases are there. And our medical needs more research and innovation in it. In India, the scope of pharmacy is very much bright. Here I would like to enlighten all the aspirants about the scope of pharmacy:- 1). Drug Inspector: Drug Inspector is a lucrative career option. This post is associated with good earning and reputation. State Governments, SSC and UPSC recruit drug Inspectors from time to time. 2). Pharmacists: Pharmacists Employed on a permanent basis in Central Government Hospitals like ESIC and AIIMS Railways, and States Like Delhi withdraw respectable Salary. However, pharmacists working in most state governments and also contract workers get much lesser. 3). SSC UPSC, State PSC, and bank jobs: If you have good knowledge of pharmacy subjects, qualifying for a Pharmacist job in a good government department may be comparatively easier. In private sector Jobs are available In Pharmaceutical Marketing, Production, Quality Control, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacist, and Medical Underwriting There are many colleges that are providing these courses but it will be advisable if you do your degree from a well-known university and that provides prime placement opportunity, outstanding exposure, and professional enhancement training. Following are the good colleges for a B.Pharma in India: Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar King Georges Medical University, Lucknow Thanks.

Yes. Pharmacy is a good career. Choosing pharmacy as a career after pursuing 12th in Sciences ( Medical & Non-Medical) is one of the best decisions. Pharmacy opens number of doors after degree. Pharmacist is well known as Health Care Professional which can not only sales the medicines but can also presecribe, manufacture and have a control on the medicines. But in order to be a good pharmacist, a person should have deep knowledge about the profession. And knowledge can only be gained by choosing a good institute for the course. If you want to be a good pharmacist, I will highly recommend you to join PCTE College of Pharmacy, Ludhiana. As this college provides the best knowledge regarding the new inventions related to the profession. PCTE arranges frequent guest lectures and industrial visits to keep the students aware about updations regarding profession.

Pharmacist knows all about the medicine right from its birth to its elimination. Its easy to get thousands of prescription but hard to get a remedy pharmacist is one who finds a remedy for all diseases. Pharmacist plays a vital role in serving the world through its contribution to healthcare sector. I will advise you to identify the institute which is approved by PCI.
