ToggleExtended Admission Deadline
The extended admission deadline till 31st October 2025 offers candidates additional time to complete their paperwork, pay the required fees, and finalize college selections. The decision was made after colleges received multiple requests from students who faced delays in documentation or counseling rounds.
However, this is a final extension, and most leading institutions in Bangalore and other cities have already reported limited availability. Students are advised to act quickly and complete their registration at the earliest to avoid missing out on this academic year’s intake.
Eligibility for Pharm D Admission
Before applying, candidates must ensure they meet the eligibility criteria set by universities and the Pharmacy Council of India. The general requirements include:
- Completion of 10+2 or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics as core subjects
- Minimum aggregate marks as prescribed by the college or university
- Alternatively, candidates who have completed a Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharm) from a recognized institution are also eligible
- The applicant must be at least 17 years of age at the time of admission
Since criteria can slightly vary between colleges, students should verify details directly through the institution or official admission partners like GCS Online.
