There are lot of scope. I am going to talk about the paths commonly opted by students:
Getting a job directly after B. Pharma: Graduates who do not wish to pursue post graduate studies or plan on doing them later try to get jobs after B.Pharma. Jobs are usually offered in the field of sales and marketing. Some also work as pharmacists in hospitals whereas some are able to secure jobs at manufacturing facilities of pharmaceutical companies. Some also set up their own pharmacy. MBA after B. Pharma: Some students pursue MBA after B.Pharma whereas some pursue it after gaining a few years' experience (usually in sales and marketing). Depending upon your talent, qualifications, and how good your MBA school is, students are offered jobs in higher management of pharmaceutical companies. Pharma MBA is also offered by some colleges in India.M.Pharma after B. Pharma: Students interested in academia and R&D take up M.Pharma. M.Pharma can be done in many fields like pharmaceutics, pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, clinical pharmacology, pharmacognosy, biotechnology, etc. M.Pharma graduates either join the industry as scientists or as lecturers in universities. Some M.Pharma students pursue a Ph.D. which is required to become a professor in good Indian universities. A lot of Ph.D. holders also join the industry. (There is a difference between a lecturer and a professor)
MS/PhD after B. Pharma: Motivated students who pursue undergraduate research and gain experience via internships along with good scores in college can apply for MS or even direct Ph.D. programs abroad. GRE and TOEFL/IELTS may be required depending upon the country and university. The competition is usually very cutthroat as you are competing with applicants from all over the world.LLB after B. Pharma: This is a very uncommon route. Some B.Pharma graduates pursue LL.B and become lawyers. They usually later specialize in pharmaceutical jurisprudence, intellectual property law, patents, etc. Hope this helps.

Hello Raghu,
I can give the answer of this question from my personal experience. From job point of view, it would be a starting point for you. It will give you a vocational qualification which would be an asset for you. You can enter the industry after Diploma and can earn good salary after years of experience. I have seen many project managers who are simply Diploma holders but with experience they reach to higher designations and attain good salaries. Though, On the other hand, some of the Gulf employers and other UAE companies specifically demand for Degree holders in their job advertisements. So, certainly, you will like to think about aspect of increasing your qualification later on in your life. But that would be your decision (based on your own circumstances later on in your life). Another lucrative thing is about government job opportunities. As a Diploma holder, you can sit in government competitive exams for Junior Engineers in almost every state of India and at national level. There is a huge demand due to infrastructural development in the country. Apart from that, if you decide to continue your studies after Diploma to attain a degree qualification, it would be a good choice for you as It will open many options to you. Now, speaking from my personal experience, I have following points to support here: -
-If you pursue B.Tech after Diploma, around 60% of core subjects will be covered by you. This means You will be among top students in your B.Tech class and will pass the degree with flying colors. - After doing Diploma, you will save one year by enrolling in second year of B.Tech programme and will complete your study in three years. Also, your confidence will be very high as compared to other students who join degree after 10+2. Your knowledge and understanding about core subjects will be much higher as compared to other students. - Your employment chances will be very prosperous If you complete both Diploma as well as degree in engineering. The employers will definitely give you priority owing to the fact that your fundamental knowledge will be very strong. Moreover, you will have two degrees in your hand which will be beneficial to you. Please see some of the good institutes where you can pursue both of these qualifications:
Andhra UniversityLovely Professional UniversityManipal UniversityGITAM University, Visakhapatnam.
I hope that answers your question.
All the best.
