A: The Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) program does not require the National Eligibility and Entrance Test, or NEET for admission. As an alternative, the majority of colleges and universities admit students based on entrance tests designed especially for the pharmacy field, including the Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT), state-level exams like MHT CET, WBJEE, or other institutional exams. Particularly in topics like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics, certain colleges may also provide admission to 10 & 12 (science stream) students based only on merit. As such, obtaining a B.Pharm degree does not need completion of NEET.
Q: Can B Pharmacy use Dr.?
A: The title "Dr." is exclusive to medical physicians (MBBS), dentist doctors (BDS), and anyone holding a doctorate degree (Ph.D. or Pharm.D.). Therefore, graduates of B.Pharmacy program are not permitted to use it. Having a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) makes one eligible to work as a pharmacist, a specialist in drugs and drug therapy, but not as a doctor. However, as they are qualified to offer advanced pharmaceutical treatment and patient counseling, persons who pursue a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree are entitled to use the title "Dr." in a professional capacity, especially in clinical settings.
