Hi sir/madam, I have donr M Pharm in Pharmacy Practi e and currently working in Clinical Research field. Which PhD subject should I choose to get better oppourtunity and salary, either in India or outside India?

Ans: Hi,

I would like to know which year you completed your PG and how many years of experience you have after completing it. You mentioned that you are currently working in the clinical research field. Kindly provide details about your role in this field before I comment.

I also want to clarify that in a PhD program, there are no specializations or subjects. Instead, you have to select a research topic. It would be beneficial to choose a topic relevant to your job. Is it possible to select subjects (volunteers or patients) while working?

MY SUGGESTION: If you want to pursue a PhD, consider doing it part-time instead of full-time. You can also enhance your skills in the field you are working in by performing trial-and-error methods.

ALL THE BEST.

Good morning sir My daughter completed her B Pharm with distinction, and now pursuing M Pharm(Pharmacology) final year at Assam Science and Technology University, Guwahati. Which option is better, Drug Inspector in Arunachal Pradesh or PhD in Pharmacology? Kindly suggest.

Ans: Hi there, it seems like she is considering becoming a drug inspector, which is a government job, instead of pursuing a PhD.

Has she already taken the exam for this job?

In terms of a PhD, she can apply to the university for admission four times a year. After gaining three years of experience, she can pursue it part-time, and it is not a big deal.

So, it might be worth considering this opportunity and encouraging your daughter.

I am reshma confused for join bds or pharm d 6 years

Ans: Hi Reshma,

What exactly do you need from my side?

As you know, both fields are different and each requires practice to gain expertise. BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is an undergraduate program in dentistry, while PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) is considered a postgraduate course. After completing a PharmD, one must consider pursuing a doctorate program, and there are currently no specializations available in India. However, abroad, you can claim expertise in a specific department.

On the other hand, after completing BDS, you can pursue a specialization at the postgraduate level and also have the opportunity to open your own clinic.
I have highlighted the most important factors. I believe this information may be sufficient for you to decide the course. If not, please send your query to the Rediff platform.

Sir which is better b pharma or pharma d for girls nd future scope salary

Ans: Hi Joshitha,

That's a good question. However, I want to emphasize that you shouldn't focus on salary without having the necessary skills. In our field, the health sector, it is essential to have skills; without them, you won't be able to excel.

To answer your query, I suggest considering a hybrid approach: pursuing a Pharm D after completing your B.Pharm, specifically the PB PharmD program. The scope of opportunities is generally better compared to the PharmD program.

Kiit Kalinga university me btech biotechnology me registration ho gya hai 75000 registration fees bhi jma ho chuki hai lekin cbse ka result ab aaya hai marks 60% aur pcb me 50+ hai ayesa na ho ki registration reject ho jaye kya admission ho jayega

Ans: Hi Nidhi,
greetings.
According to the prospectus, you are not eligible for admission to KIIT for the B.Tech in Biotechnology program.
The basic requirement for B.Tech and M.Tech in Biotechnology is that you must pass 10+2 or an equivalent exam with at least 60% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology/Biotechnology combined.

Since you have only achieved 50%, I recommend considering other courses such as Nursing or Pharmacy instead of Biotechnology.

Hello sir.Could you pls suggest best colleges for pharmacy sciences in Punjab? I will be very thankful to you

Ans: Hi,

Punjab is not a district; it is a state. To gain admission into an undergraduate (UG) program, you must either write an entrance exam or go through the state selection board. Given this context, it is challenging to provide specific advice.

If you are interested in pursuing pharmacy, visit the website of the respective college to find information about the Standards of Instruction for Pharmacy (SIF) through the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). The institution may have shared important details about their programs. You can choose colleges based on their infrastructure.

Don’t focus solely on placements. If you have the right skills, you will naturally secure a placement. However, do not stop at completing your UG; you should also aim to pursue a postgraduate (PG) program, as it will provide you with more exposure.

If financial constraints prevent you from pursuing PG studies, consider entering pharma marketing after completing your UG. There are plenty of opportunities to excel in marketing.

If you would like get more information, please come to me with a selected list of colleges, and I will be able to assist you further.

My son was born in Maharashtra, and has a Birth-certificate of Maharashtra, but we are permanent residents of Delhi. Is my son eligible to get its benefit in terms of local reservation in MHTCET-2025/

Ans: Hi Rajiv,
As your son born in Maharashtra, you cannot claim a domicile certificate from Maharashtra. To be eligible for a domicile certificate, one needs to have resided in the state for the last 15 years. Therefore, having only a birth certificate is not sufficient. I hope I have answered your question.

Sir, I got retired on 30-Jun-24 after attaining the age of 58. I do not have any further contribution to PF. I would like to know if PF gives interest for next 3 years. In other words, when I withdraw PF at the age of 61 in Jun-2027, would PF have paid interest for 3 years from Jul-24 to Jun-27.

Ans: If no contributions are made for more than three years after retirement, the account becomes inoperative.
It stops earning interest.
The existing balance remains safe.
