No you can't apply for diploma in pharmacy after completion of 10th standard .Your qualification does not sufficient for this diploma course.

Diploma in D pharmacy is a 2 years certificate course.So its better for you if you complete your 12th in physics,chemistry & maths .After completing 12th you can absolutely apply for Pharmacy diploma course.

After getting certificate & license of diploma in pharmacy you can open your own clinic or chemist medicine shop.You can also get job in hospitals or pharmaceuticals company as a MR position.There is a very good scope in this field for bright future.

Still you must need to complete 12th in physics,chemistry & maths.After completing of 12th you can apply for pharmacy course.Pharmacy course is a 2 years diploma course and 3 years degree course also available.

After getting certificate in diploma you can also further studies in B pharmacy which is a 3 years degree course.After getting degree you can open your own chemist shop and earn high income monthly basis.
