B.Pharm Syllabus (NEP 2020 — from 2026-27)
The Bachelor of Pharmacy is a four-year, eight-semester degree. PCI has mandated a revised NEP 2020-aligned B.Pharm syllabus for all approved institutions from the 2026-27 academic session. Our new-syllabus titles are being written to this curriculum and release through 2026.
The 2026-27 syllabus adds computing, data science & AI
The biggest change in the new PCI B.Pharm curriculum is a spine of computing and artificial-intelligence courses running from the very first semester to the last — subjects that simply did not exist in the older PCI syllabus. Python, biostatistics and data analytics, machine learning and applied AI now sit alongside the classical pharmacy subjects. These 8 courses are new to the NEP 2020 B.Pharm degree:
