Pharmacy is an art and science of preparing drugs and medicines. Bachelor of Pharmacy is one of the popular job oriented courses among science students after class 12th/PUC. The main course is all about the preparation, analysis and dispensing of various medicines for treating diseases.

A Bachelor of Pharmacy (abbreviated B Pharm or PharmB or BS Pharm) is a graduate academic degree in the field of pharmacy. In many countries, this degree is a prerequisite for registration to practice as a pharmacist. Since both PharmB and PharmD are prerequisites to license in most western countries they’re considered equivalent. In many western countries, the foreign graduates with BPharm, PharmB or BS Pharm practice similarly as PharmD graduates. It is analogous to MBBS vs. MD where MBBS is foreign equivalent of MD.
