Minimum Qualification for Registration as a Pharmacist in India
The minimum
qualification for registration as a pharmacist in India is a pass in
"Diploma course in pharmacy" from an institution recognized by the
PCI. Persons holding "Degree in Pharmacy" from an institution
recognized by the PCI are also eligible for registration as a pharmacist.
Section 10 of the Pharmacy Act empowers the PCI to frame regulations called
Education Regulations (E R) prescribing the minimum standard of education
required for qualification as a pharmacist. These regulations have been revised
from time to time to keep pace with the latest developments in the field of
pharmaceutical Sciences.
The PCI has decided
to upgrade the minimum qualification for registration as a pharmacist from
Diploma to Degree in Pharmacy and this decision of the PCI is under
consideration of the Ministry of Health and F.W., New Delhi.
