Pimpri Chinchwad University offers Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm) course. This course

understanding diverse world of Pharmacy as an integral part of healthcare system. The
syllabus for Bachelor of Pharmacy at undergraduate level is regulated by Pharmacy
Council of India (PCI). Along with this curriculum the students of Pharmacy are offered

The profession of pharmacy is noble in its ideals and pious in its character. Apart
from being a career for earning livelihood it has inherent in it the attitude of
service and sacrifice in the interests of the suffering humanity. In handling, selling,
distributing, compounding and dispensing medical substances including poisons and
potent drugs a pharmacist is, in collaboration with medical men and others, charged
with the onerous responsibility of safeguarding the health of people. As such he must
uphold the interests of his patrons above all things. The lofty ideals set up by
Charaka, the ancient Philosopher Physician and Pharmacist in his enunciation: “Even if
your own life be in danger, you should not betray or neglect the interests of your
patients” should be fondly cherished by all Pharmacist. Government restricts the
practice of Pharmacy to those who qualify under regulatory requirements and grant them
privileges necessarily denied to others. In return Government expects the Pharmacist to
recognize his responsibilities and to fulfill his professional obligations honorably
and with due regard for the wellbeing of Society. Standards of professional conduct for
pharmacy are necessary in the public interest to ensure an efficient pharmaceutical
service. Every pharmacist should not only be willing to play his part in giving such a
service but should also avoid any act or omission which would prejudice the giving of
the services or impair confidence in any respect for pharmacists as a body. The nature
of pharmaceutical practice is such that its demands may be beyond the capacity of the
individual to carry out as quickly or as efficiently as the needs of the public
require. There should, therefore always, be a readiness to assist colleagues with
information or advice. A Pharmacist must, above all be a good citizen and must uphold
and defend the laws of the state and the Nation.
The goal of the syllabus is that the students at the end can secure a high ending job.
Keeping in mind with the changing nature of the course, passable emphasis has been
given on new practices of mapping and understanding of the subject. The syllabus has
also been outlined in such a way that the basic skills of course are taught to the
students, increasing chances of securing most job opportunities in pharmaceutical
industry.
Also, it is recommended that the Project Work and Industrial training is compulsory for
all the students as per their respective semester curriculum.
