Hello

Yes, you can take admission in B. Pharmacy 2nd year after completing your Diploma in Pharmacy. This process is called "Lateral Entry".


In India, the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) allows diploma holders to take admission directly into the 2nd year of B. Pharmacy. However, you need to meet certain conditions:


1. *Diploma recognition*: Your diploma must be recognized by the PCI.

2. *Eligibility criteria*: You must meet the eligibility criteria set by the institution and the state's pharmacy council.

3. *Entrance exam*: Some institutions may require you to clear an entrance exam or a lateral entry exam.

4. *Vacant seats*: There should be vacant seats available in the 2nd year of B. Pharmacy.


To take admission, follow these steps:


1. *Check institution availability*: Look for institutions offering B. Pharmacy with lateral entry options.

2. *Meet eligibility criteria*: Ensure you meet the institution's eligibility criteria.

3. *Apply for admission*: Submit your application, along with required documents (like diploma certificate, mark sheets, etc.).

4. *Clear entrance exam (if required)*: Prepare and clear the entrance exam, if mandated by the institution.


Please note that admission procedures and eligibility criteria may vary across institutions. It's essential to verify the information with the institutions you're interested in.
