Skip year one. Keep your momentum.
The Lateral Entry course at Harsha Institute of Pharmacy enables candidates with a three-year diploma or an equivalent degree to get admitted directly to 2nd Year (3rd semester) of the B.Pharm program.
The curriculum from semester three onwards mirrors the full B.Pharm track — combining core pharmaceutical sciences with a significant industrial exposure component, and preparing you for the same career outcomes as the four-year programme.
