Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) has announced a major change of the B.Pharm curriculum—the first in 11 years!
Here’s what’s changing:
-
From 2026‑27, B.Pharm will include specializations: choose between Industrial Pharmacy or Clinical Pharmacy after Year 2
-
Emphasis on industry‑ready skills—think AI, machine learning, blockchain, robotic pharmacy, plus SWAYAM & MOOC credit options
-
Push for flexible entry/exit points and credit banking aligned with NEP 2020—so you could earn an exit diploma after 2 years
-
PCI plans specialised faculty training, workshops, and a stronger link between academia and actual pharma jobs

This could be a huge shift—mean more practical skills, better employability, and a clearer path between B.Pharm → Industry or Clinical work.
