Pharmacy or Medicine

Pharmacy is a year shorter and costs less: over five years at Sofia University, about ₹32 lakh in tuition, against ₹51 lakh to ₹64 lakh for six years of Medicine. It does not lead to the FMGE. Choose it if you want a career in pharmacies, the pharmaceutical industry or regulation, not as a fallback you will try to switch out of.
