As you may have realized, pursuing a B.Pharm degree is not easy. Many people initially choose it as just one option, but later they discover how much studying is involved. Your B.Pharm course is divided into 8 semesters. In the first semester, you have to study a total of 6 subjects, of which 4 are compulsory. Those who passed their intermediate exams with Biology have to study Remedial Mathematics, and those who passed with Mathematics have to study Remedial Biology.

B.Pharm is a professional course, and if you understand it carefully, it’s a very important part of the medical field. From manufacturing medicines to dispensing them, all of that is our responsibility. Pharmacists don’t just give patients medicine; they also explain how to take it, what its benefits are, and what the potential side effects are.

Look, students, the Remedial Mathematics subject is a non-university paper, but it will be very useful to you in the future. Because when you enter the industry, you will have to read the pharmacopoeia and create formulas, which requires calculations. That’s why it’s an important subject. Those who come from a mathematics background are taught biology to give them knowledge of body anatomy and physiology, and you are taught mathematics to teach you basic calculations.
