Can I pursue mba after pharmacy is it a good choice? Pros and cons of it

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.
