Sir actually my age 26 i completed bsc nutrition due to lack of job opportunities i want to do diploma in pharmacy it my good suggestion or not

Ans: Hi,
you can go for PG and then a job in a pharma company or as a lecturer.

Ans: Yes. A lot of students do MBA after Pharmacy. NMIMS offers Pharma MBA. GIM offers MBA in Healthcare for which a lot of pharma students apply. TISS also has courses on healthcare. Apart from that there are quite a few MBA courses in Healthcare.
You could do a regular MBA instead of Healthcare MBA. Most Pharma students end up in Pharma industry at Managerial positions.
Pros - If you get into a good college it will help you to get a good first job and over a period of time should help you to rise faster.
Cons - Investment of 2 years and the money you spend on an MBA course. Check the placements in the college you plan to join.

Ans: Although it is the foundational degree in pharmacy, you will still have good job opportunities.

Ans: Hi Ishika,

Since you are from the Konkan area (which includes Mumbai), there are many excellent pharmacy institutions available. Don't worry too much about the financial aspect at this stage. Nowadays, numerous agencies, such as Tata, Reliance, and Infosys, are offering scholarships to students. Most of these agencies provide around 1 lakh for eligible students. I won't comment on the college you mentioned.

In Maharashtra, there are many government institutions, as well as a few deemed universities. To pursue a B.Pharm, you will need to take a common admission test called MHT-CET. It's essential to prepare for and appear in this exam to secure admission, and during counseling, you will get a better idea of your options.

I recommend visiting the websites of potential colleges to check their faculty qualifications and infrastructure details. Look for faculty members who have completed their postgraduate degrees in their respective departments and have at least five years of teaching experience. While a good institute can boost your prospects, it’s important for students to have the willingness to learn and improve their skills. Although many industries may recruit from well-known institutions, students must be prepared to perform well in interviews.

Since you have decided to pursue a B.Pharm, here are some steps to follow:

1. Aim for a good percentage of marks in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Biology in your +2 exams.
2. Prepare for and take the MH-CET.
3. Choose the best college based on your research.
4. Strive for high marks throughout your B.Pharm program (aim for 90% or more to qualify for scholarships).
5. Look for opportunities in multinational companies (MNCs) and consider a career in marketing.
6. After 3-4 years, pursue an MBA.
7. Try to join a product department or a frontline position.

Best of luck with your studies and future plans!
