Hi,

No, Biology is not essential for B. Pharm in either of the two universities. Both require Physics and Chemistry as compulsory subjects while the third subject could be either mathematics or biology. Moreover, for NMIMS English is a compulsory subject as well.

NMIMS requires that the student pass with 45% + in PCM/PCB.

ICT requires that the student pass with 50% in PCM/PCB (for backward classes its 45%)
