Candidate shall have passed 10+2 examination conducted by the respective
state/central government authorities recognized as equivalent to 10+2 examination
by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) with English as one of the
subjects and Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (P.C.M) and or Biology (P.C.B /
P.C.M.B.) as optional subjects individually. Any other qualification approved by
the Pharmacy Council of India as equivalent to any of the above examinations.

2.2. B. Pharm lateral entry (to third semester):

A pass in D. Pharm. course from an institution approved by the Pharmacy Council
of India under section 12 of the Pharmacy Act.

3. Duration of the program

The course of study for B.Pharm shall extend over a period of eight semesters (four
academic years) and six semesters (three academic years) for lateral entry students. The
curricula and syllabi for the program shall be prescribed from time to time by Pharmacy
Council of India, New Delhi.

4. Medium of instruction and examinations

Medium of instruction and examination shall be in English.

7. Program/Course credit structure
As per the philosophy of Credit Based Semester System, certain quantum of academic
work viz. theory classes, tutorial hours, practical classes, etc. are measured in terms of
credits. On satisfactory completion of the courses, a candidate earns credits. The amount
of credit associated with a course is dependent upon the number of hours of instruction
per week in that course. Similarly, the credit associated with any of the other academic,
co/extra-curricular activities is dependent upon the quantum of work expected to be put
in for each of these activities per week.

7.1. Credit assignment

7.1.1. Theory and Laboratory courses
Courses are broadly classified as Theory and Practical. Theory courses consist of
lecture (L) and /or tutorial (T) hours, and Practical (P) courses consist of hours
spent in the laboratory. Credits (C) for a course is dependent on the number of
hours of instruction per week in that course, and is obtained by using a multiplier
of one (1) for lecture and tutorial hours, and a multiplier of half (1/2) for practical
(laboratory) hours. Thus, for example, a theory course having three lectures and
one tutorial per week throughout the semester carries a credit of 4. Similarly, a
practical having four laboratory hours per week throughout semester carries a
credit of 2.

7.2. Minimum credit requirements

The minimum credit points required for award of a B. Pharm. degree is 208.
These credits are divided into Theory courses, Tutorials, Practical, Practice
School and Projectover the duration of eight semesters. The credits are distributed
semester-wise as shown in Table IX. Courses generally progress in sequences,
building competencies and their positioning indicates certain academic maturity
on the part of the learners. Learners are expected to follow the semester-wise
schedule of courses given in the syllabus.
The lateral entry students shall get 52 credit points transferred from their D.
Pharm program. Such students shall take up additional remedial courses of
‘Communication Skills’ (Theory and Practical) and ‘Computer Applications in
Pharmacy’ (Theory and Practical) equivalent to 3 and 4 credit points respectively,
a total of 7 credit points to attain 59 credit points, the maximum of I and II
semesters.

8. Academic work
A regular record of attendance both in Theory and Practical shall be maintained by the
teaching staff of respective courses.

22
Note: Grade ABshould be considered as failed and treated as one head for deciding
academic progression. Such rules are also applicable for those students who fail to
register for examination(s) of any course in any semester.

17. Grading of performances

17.1. Letter grades and grade points allocations:
Based on the performances, each student shall be awarded a final letter grade at the end
of the semester for each course.The letter grades and their corresponding grade points are
given in Table – XII.

Table – XII: Letter grades and grade points equivalent to

Percentage of marks and performances
Percentage of
Letter Grade Grade Point Performance
Marks Obtained
90.00 – 100 O 10 Outstanding
80.00 – 89.99 A 9 Excellent
70.00 – 79.99 B 8 Good
60.00 – 69.99 C 7 Fair
50.00 – 59.99 D 6 Average
Less than 50 F 0 Fail
Absent AB 0 Fail
A learner who remains absent for any end semester examination shall be assigned a letter
grade of ABand a corresponding grade point of zero. He/she should reappear for the said
evaluation/examination in due course.

18. The Semester grade point average (SGPA)

The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a number called ‘Semester
Grade Point Average’ (SGPA). The SGPA is the weighted average of the grade points
obtainedin all the courses by the student during the semester. For example, if a student
takes five courses(Theory/Practical) in a semester with credits C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5
and the student’s grade pointsin these courses are G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5, respectively,
and then students’ SGPA is equal to:

C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4G4+ C5G5

SGPA = --------------------------------------------------
C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5

The SGPA is calculated to two decimal points.It should be noted that, the SGPA for any
semester shall take into consideration the F and ABSgrade awarded in that semester. For
example if a learner has a F or ABS grade in course 4, theSGPA shall then be computed
as:

23
C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4* ZERO + C5G5
SGPA = ------------------------------------------------------
C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5

19. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

The CGPA is calculated with the SGPA of all the VIII semesters to two decimal points
and is indicated in final grade report card/final transcript showing the grades of all VIII
semesters and their courses. The CGPA shall reflect the failed statusin case of F
grade(s),till the course(s) is/are passed. When the course(s)is/are passedby obtaining a
pass grade on subsequent examination(s) theCGPA shall only reflect the new grade and
not the fail grades earned earlier.The CGPA is calculated as:

C1S1 + C2S2 + C3S3 + C4S4+ C5S5+ C6S6+ C7S7+ C8S8

CGPA = -------------------------------------------------------------------------
C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5+ C6+ C7+ C8

where C1, C2, C3,…. is the total number of credits for semester I,II,III,…. and S1,S2, S3,….is
the SGPA of semester I,II,III,…. .

20. Declaration of class

The class shall be awarded on the basis of CGPA as follows:
First Class with Distinction = CGPA of. 7.50 and above
First Class = CGPA of 6.00 to 7.49
Second Class = CGPA of 5.00 to 5.99
