I think B pharm graduates have enormous opportunity in present day. Apart from being solely in the pharmacy domain or work as a pharmacist, they can look into pharmaco vigilance and clinical trails where they get to experience clinical aspects blended with pharm knowledge.

After Bpharm, most people go for marketing (MR) which is the most sought after job by any pharmacist either a D or B Pharm. Although it has a good payout, still it is meant for those who have good marketing skills. Many graduates just go after it because it is easy to get into or just because they saw one of their friends/classmates doing good in his job.
There are several other job roles which one cam take up after Bpharm without even doing Masters. These include:
- Regulatory Affairs
- Pharmacovigilance
- Quality Assurance/Control
- Launch their own brand/ manufacturing plant
As mentioned above, do an MBA and go into managerial positions.
