If you want job in management and marketing field then MBA Pharmacy will be a good options. If you want to become a lecturer or want to enter pharmaceutical research field then M.Pharma is a good option.

Therefore, it all depends on your choice. Choose M.Pharma only when you have aim to study and research in your own field. If you are more inclined towards marketing and management jobs then go for MBA Pharmacy.

Speaking truly that both MBA (Pharma) and M.Pharmacy have their own advantages. Still there is big difference between MBA Pharma and M.Pharmacy courses. If you are really willing to go for Technical field, then I would certainly suggest you to go with M.Pharmacy after completion of B.Pharmacy course. Else, if you are willing to get into management field in the Pharmaceutical companies, then I would strongly suggest you to go with MBA in Pharma stream. As you are B.Pharma student (Technical candidate), it is better to go with M.Pharmacy as it mainly deals in the subject area of Pharmacy. After completion of M.Pharmacy you may find employment opportunities in Clinical Research, Medical Transcription, Drug Manufacturing companies, Clinical Laboratories, Pharmaceutical Companies and Food Processing Industries.

It is completely based on your interest because both the courses will open different career prospects for you.

If you go for MBA in pharmacy then you can get jobs in management section in pharmaceutical companies. If you go for specialization in M.Pharmacy:
Quality assurance
Pharmacology
Pharmaceutics
Clinical Research

then you will have different prospects such as
Lectureship
Phd
Pharmacovigilence
Medical writing
Medical Coding
R&D sector etc

There is lots of competition in Pharmacy field now a days so I suggest that if you want to go for industrial research and high salary jobs then go for MBA in pharmaceutical management.
