    No, because maths has nothing to do with pharmacy but still basic maths is required for everyone to do any work in any field.

    For D.Pharma course, it is the Diploma pharmacy. The minimum qualification of 10+2is required. It must be passed with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology subjects.

    You can do pharmacy with any subject, PCB or PCM. Here's an overview with other benefits:
    If you opt for maths, you have access to a variety of fields if in future your mind changes. For example, you can go in aviation field and opt for a pilot job and get a licence of flying.
    Give common entrance exam and clear it and study in various precious colleges do engineering.
    By choosing biology, your field will be restricted to only medical field and management areas until you graduate. For opting for pharmacy do focus on chemistry and biology above anything.
    All the best for your future.

    If you want to take Maths, then you can take. But, in pharmacy it is not compulsory.
    But, my suggestion is not to take Maths, if you want to do Pharmacy, concentrate only on Science stream.

    Although maths is helpful, but not a mandate for B.Pharma.

    If you have interest in Maths, then you should go for it. But, if not, then don't take it, because it will hamper your percentage. You will score less in it, due to lack of interest.

    It's not compulsory. If you want to go for pharmacy, go for PCB.

    Hello, To get into pharmacy, you need to have solid base of physics and chemistry. As such maths is considered to get into the pharmaceutical programs. Colleges do consider the PCMB course. Maths is required for the calculations and formulation in pharmacy.
