Imagine being part of an industry that saves lives every day. India is called the "Pharmacy of the World," supplying medicines globally. With advancements in personalized medicine, vaccines, and AI-driven drug discovery, skilled pharmacists are in high demand. Back in 2016, experts predicted that the number of pharmacists would rise from 312,500 to 330,100 by 2026—that’s a steady 5.6% growth over 10 years. According to the India Skill Report 2022, job readiness in the pharma sector has seen a small but positive improvement, now at 44%. 
 

On average, around 13,400 pharmacist jobs open up every year, which means there’s a consistent demand in the field. Between 2022 and 2032, employment for pharmacists is expected to grow by 3%, which is right in line with most other careers.  If you’re passionate about healthcare, medicine, and making a difference, the  Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) program at Medhavi Skills University (MSU), Sikkim, could be your perfect launchpad.

If you're considering a future in this field, you can explore career opportunities in B.Pharmacy on Shiksha to learn more.
