SGU B.Pharma Lateral FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between regular B.Pharma and B.Pharma Lateral Entry?

Regular B.Pharma is a 4-year program for 10+2 pass students, while B.Pharma Lateral Entry is a 3-year program exclusively for D.Pharma graduates. Both programs cover similar pharmaceutical sciences curriculum, but lateral entry students skip the first year and directly enter the second year (third semester) of the regular program. This allows D.Pharma graduates to complete their B.Pharma degree in 3 years instead of 4, making it a cost-effective and time-efficient option for career advancement in pharmacy.

Ans. No, NEET is not required for B.Pharma Lateral Entry admission. The admission is purely merit-based on your D.Pharma aggregate marks and performance.
