Hello student,

The difference between B pharmacy and D pharmacy is,

B pharmacy (Bachelor of Pharmacy) :

It is an undergraduate level Bachelor’s Degree course. All four years consists of academic program only. Internships are not present in this program. After completing this course, successful candidates will get Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy. It is a research and industry oriented course. It mainly focuses on drug manufacturing, research, quality control and general pharmacy studies. There is only one format of this course (Degree program). 3 years long Diploma version of this course is available too (Diploma in Pharmacy).

Though it has decent work scope in India, it is not so widely accepted in developed countries (Pharm D is the minimum qualification there). In case you want to work abroad, you may pursue Post Baccalaureate Pharm D program and improve your chances of getting a job abroad. If the graduates want to go for higher studies they may go for M pharmacy or Pharm D.

D pharmacy(Doctor of pharmacy) :

The course duration is of 6 years. Academic period lasts for 5 years. 1year is dedicated towards internship. After you complete this course, the successful graduates will be given the title as doctor(Dr).  It focuses on fundamental concepts of pharmacy, clinical pharmacy, healthcare studies, pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical care.  In India, two formats of Pharm D courses are available- Pharm D (6 years long course) and Pharm D (Post Baccalaureate) course (3 years long). B Pharmacy graduates may pursue 3 years long Post Baccalaureate Pharm D program after graduation.  After completing the course, one may find work in Hospitals, Clinical research organizations and pharmacy colleges.  Has got good ‘work abroad’ scope associated with it. Pharm D is the minimum degree required to practice as a pharmacist in many developed countries. Since this is a doctorate degree, the best available PG course would be PhD.

Hope this helps!
