Hi candidate
No, you are not eligible for lateral entry to B. Pharma course.
The eligibility criteria for entry to B. Pharma is as follows:
Candidate must have passed Diploma in Pharmacy from an institution approved by the Pharmacy Council of India .

Since you have passed Diploma in computer engineering and not pharmacy YOU CANNOT HAVE LATERAL ENTRY to B.pharma.

Hope this answers your query
All the best :)

Hello student!

The B. Pharm later entry helps the candidates to take direct admission to the B. Pharm course in the second year.

B. pharm lateral is for the students who had done a diploma in pharmacy and will join directly in the 2nd year. So, not for computer science.

Eligibility criteria -

  • Admission to B.Pharm. Lateral Entry program is open to a student who passed in Diploma (Pharmacy) (2 years after 10+2) (Diploma should be recognized by PCI) or equivalent.
  • Candidates must have successfully cleared three of the diploma program in Pharmacy.
  • In most of the Pharmacy colleges in order to get admission in B.Pharm L.E, candidates should have secured at least 60% marks in their three-year diploma program.

Hope it's clear!
