Abolish Year Back System in B.Pharm – Allow Carryover & Credit-Based Progression
The Issue
Thousands of B.Pharm students in India are losing a full year of their education because of the Year Back System.
👉 Under this rule, if a student fails in just one or two subjects, they are forced to repeat the entire year. This is unfair and outdated.
1 subject ≠ 1 year lost
Students face stress, depression, and financial burden
Many drop out instead of continuing their studies
The system is not in line with modern education followed worldwide
Most universities and councils today allow a carryover or credit-based progression system, where students can move to the next year while clearing backlogs. This system is fair, student-friendly, and already successful in other countries.
We, the students of B.Pharm, demand that the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI):
1. Abolish the Year Back System
2. Introduce carryover/credit-based progression for B.Pharm students
3. Issue uniform national guidelines so all universities follow the same fair policy
This reform will:
✅ Save valuable student years
✅ Reduce mental pressure and dropouts
✅ Align Indian pharmacy education with global standards
✍️ Please sign this petition to show your support. Together, we can ensure a fair and modern education system for pharmacy students in India.
