    Hi
    Students who wish to make a career working as pharmacist in large hospitals and healthcare industries in the country / abroad (US & U.K. etc.,) may pursue Pharm D.
    Researching new drugs and therapies, while working for drugs, pharma and biotech industries, is what you are looking for, then choose B.Pharm followed by the masters programme – M. Pharm.

    I think Pharm D is better because it provides you with more exposure as compared to D pharma and the job opportunities are more in Pharm D.

    HEY,
    There are two types of pharm D , one which requires diploma in pharmacy as a basic qualification and other one which is known as Pharm.D(post baccalaureate) which requires B.Pharma as minimum education qualification.
    There is only one diploma in pharmacy and no further segregation is there.

    To opt for Pharm D, you must possess a diploma in pharmacy and 12th eligibility is same for Pharm D and D pharma, that is candidate must be a science student with physics and chemistry as compulsory subjects with maths or biology.
