Hello,

Im Sorry but you cannot do M.Pharm after D.Pharm. In order to do M.Pharm, you must need to have an Undergraduate degree.

D.Pharm is Diploma in pharmacy which includes 2 year programme , where as B.Pharm is an undergraduate degree which is 4 year programme. You can do M.Pharm if you have completed B.Pharm . Also, one similarity between D.pharm and B.pharm is that both requires a 6 month internship to be done before getting the degree. These two - B.Pharm and D.Pharm are the common pharmocology programmes. They need to be approved either by AICTE - All India Council of Technical Education or PCI - Pharmacy Council of India. Especially B.Pharm must be approved by either of them for undergoing further studies.
So what are all B.Pharm, M. Pharm, D.Pharm and Phram.D?

D.Pharm - This a Diploma course in Pharmacy which is a 2 year programme. In order to join D.Pharm you need to pass 10+2 with minimum 40% aggregate and Physics , Chemistry and Biology / Mathematics as necessary subjects. You cannot Do M.Pharm after D.pharm.

You also have option to get admitted to 2nd year B.Pharm as lateral entry after your D.Pharm as well from a PCI recognised institute.

M.Pharm - M.Pharm is a Postgraduate programme . It is a 2 year programme. You can join M.Pharm only after completing B.pharm from PCI approved institute and 55% aggrgate in 4 years of B.Pharm.
