    MBBS is generally preferred by many considering the pay and perks as well as social status you receive. Sit at home, you can earn if you have MBBS and MD. Self employment opportunities are wide. But that does not mean that B.Pharma is bad. You can have a medical shop on your own apart from hospital based jobs.

    Hello Rachana,
    Pharmacy and MBBS are both medical courses which can be pursued only after medical or non medical stream but in pharmacy you have to know about manufacturer of drugs and in MBBS you're going to treat the patients. Both have their own value. Pharmacy is of only 4 years whereas MBBS is of 5 and half years. You must opt the course according to your interest if you want to become doctor then you must opt for MBBS and for drug inspector you must opt for B. Pharmacy.
    Good luck.

    B.Pharma is associated with study of Pharmaceutical drugs, their productions and all. And, mostly have a great time on non-clinical aspects. MBBS on other hand is more diverse and has option to specialize in Pharmacology. Just try to assess what you are good at as I believe that MBBS is much better option with Masters in Pharmacology as the scope is really diverse with it in both clinical and non-clinical aspects.

    Both have their uses, pros and cons and the choice depends on various factors ranging from studies, finance, choice of work and other things. But to compare head to head, MBBS is any day better than B.Pharma in all the respects. A hands down winner. No offence meant to B.Pharma people but you cannot deny the obvious. Thank you.

    MBBS is a lot of hard work, spread out for over 5 to 6 years and you become a doctor. It's a very noble profession. B.Pharma is relatively easier and we become a pharmaceutical, mostly employed with pharmacies and sometime end up being a chemist.

    It depends upon your skills. MBBS is obviously good but to get a chance, it is equally too tough. The alternative is pharmacy. If you have interest in medicine related line, you can take pharmacy. I am a pharmacy student.
