Pharm.D stands for Doctor of Pharmacy. The PCI Pharm.D regulations PDF sets out two entry routes and explains where clinical training fits into each.

Pharm.D duration and eligibility

  • Six-year route: five years of academic study followed by one year of internship or residency. PCI lists 10+2 with Physics and Chemistry plus Mathematics or Biology, or a D.Pharm qualification from a PCI-approved institution, among the entry routes.
  • Post Baccalaureate route: three years after a qualifying B.Pharm: two years of study and one year of internship or residency. Check your college’s current admissions notice for selection rules.
  • Before applying: confirm the course and intake in the PCI approved institutions list, then check clinical placements and total fees with the college.
