Hello Prince!

In Bihar, lateral entry into the B. Pharm program is also conducted for the students who are D. Pharm diploma holders. In this way, students enter the course in the second year and gain an extra year by saving the first year. Lateral entry is there into the government and private colleges in the state. Admissions normally take place through the BCECEB.

To make a horizontal entry, a candidate needs to have passed the D. Pharm course with the minimum required percentage from an institution recognized by the PCI, which is around 50-60%. Mainly, the admissions are merit-based or based on the scores of the candidate or performance in entrance exams like the BCECEB Pharmacy Entrance Test.

One of the advantages that lateral entry students attain is finishing their B. Pharm degree course in less time than full-time students, making it a time-saving option for those who already hold their diploma and want to pursue further study in pharmaceutical sciences. Bihar Government colleges ensure relatively less costly education with easy access to well-equipped facilities for both practical and theoretical learning.

Thankyou
