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, brother, it’s not just students from the biology stream who come to study pharmacy. Students from the mathematics stream also come. You’ll be happy to know that your course is taught in major medical colleges as well as engineering colleges. So, the students who have studied mathematics are taught remedial biology here so that their basics are strong and they can understand how the mechanism of action of medicines works, when to administer which medicine, and how to identify diseases. That’s why they are taught biology.
