Yes definitely you have a very good career as a Pharmaceutical scientist in India and you should definitely opt it. 

As you know their main work is related to medicine so and in the sector of drugs, which increase its scope in India as this sector will never go out of trend as these people are involved in therapies too. 

But you have to note following things-

1. You must have passed 12th

2.Have Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) approved qualification or BRIDGE COURSE. 

Now the best part is the scope-

So by this you can go in

R and D, analysis, testing, production,hospitals etc. 

Now some good colleges are-

ICT,BITS, NIPER etc. 

Thank you. 

Hope it Helped.

Hello,

A career in the pharmaceutical sciences is full of opportunities. These are some flourishing career opportunities in pharmaceutical sciences:

  • R & D: Thr pharmacy industry is one such industry that thrives on research and development. For this option, M.Pharms and Ph.Ds are highly in demand for research of new drugs, process development, formulation, development, clinical trials and Toxicological Studies.
  • Analysis and Testing: Analysis and testing go hand in hand with this industry specially in order to maintain a proper Quality control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA). For the same highly skilled staff is required by companies to handle sensitive analytical dealings and sophisticated equipment.
  • Production and Manufacturing: the options of working in production and manufacturing are huge. One can start his/ her own venture or work for someone.  

  • Marketing: The Pharmaceuticals sales and marketing is considered to be a highly technical arena and hence one of the best when it comes to perks.  

  • Hospitals: Although it might be a trend of the US or Canada, but it is one that seem to be setting in India as well. The pharmacists in the hospitals are the best informed individuals for prescribing a drug. 
  • Regulatory Bodies: There are bodies that control and regulate medicines. FDA is the regulatory body that deals with governing and implementing the rules and regulations for the Drug and Pharmaceutical industry. The post of Drug Inspector, Asst. Drug Controller, Deputy Drug Controller, Drug Controller of state and finally D.C. I. (Drug Controller of India) is an option one can aspire for.

Hope this helped. 

Good luck!
