Getting into a Bachelor of Pharmacy  course really comes down to the marks you scored in your 12th grade. Most universities in India ask general category students for at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Math. If you’ve got 48%, you’re a bit short of that line, so you can’t get straight into most Bachelor of Pharmacy programs through the regular route.

But that’s not the end of the road. Some universities or private colleges sometimes relax their rules a little. They might have management quota seats or their own admission policies that let students in with slightly lower marks. It’s worth checking those out.

Another option—think about related fields. You could go for a diploma in pharmacy or another allied health course. These usually don’t have such strict percentage requirements, and after finishing a diploma, you can often move on to a full degree later.

Don’t forget entrance exams. Some colleges care more about your entrance test score than your board marks. If you do well in one of those, you might get in even if your 12th grade percentage isn’t high enough.

So, with 48%, you won’t get direct admission into most standard Bachelor of Pharmacy programs as a general student. But if you’re open to alternatives, like diplomas, different colleges, or entrance exams, you’ve still got a shot. Just takes a bit of digging and flexibility.
