Hello Ishika

B pharmacy cannot be completed in 2 years because in India it is a 4 year UG degree.

Even if you go with D pharmacy, you can get lateral entry into 2nd year of B pharmacy but even then the duration will be 3 years.

If you want to pursue 2 year healthcare courses these are the recommendation

Please note that these are not doctorate degrees,it will lead you to jobs in sectors like hospital, labs,clinics.

D pharmacy- you can work in medical store,hospital pharmacy or even the pharma companies

Diploma in medical laboratory technology- you can become a lab technician

Diploma in radiology- CT tech, x ray tech,Mri tech,ultrasound tech

Diploma in operation theatre technology- OT tech, surgical assistant

Diploma in physiotherapy- rehabilitation centres,sports and fitness home healthcare

Diploma in dialysis technology - ICU dialysis tech,nephrology assistant

Diploma in anesthesia

I hope this information helps you

All the best for your future

Hello Ishiqa if you want a degree in medical field in two years and which should be preferably b pharma degree you can then persue D. PHARMA which is diploma in pharmacy and you can do it for two years. You can work as a pharmacist after this or in dispensary jobs, retail pharmacy and hospital jobs. It is equivalent to B. Pharma in some roles but less in depth.

I hope i could help you. Thank you!

Hii

the medical/healthcare field, a full B Pharmacy degree is not possible in 2 years—it is a 4-year program everywhere in India. However, you do have good 2-year alternatives that still keep you in the medical/pharma sector if you want pharmacy-related options (2 years), you can do D p harmacy (Diploma in Pharmacy). It is a 2-year course and allows you to work as a registered pharmacist in medical stores, hospitals, or clinics after registration with the State Pharmacy Council. Later, you can also upgrade to B p harmacy through lateral entry (usually 3 more years). Other 2-year medical/paramedical courses include Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT), Diploma in Radiology/Imaging Technology, Diploma in Operation Theatre Technology, and Diploma in Physiotherapy (in some institutes). These lead to jobs in hospitals, labs, and diagnostic centers.
