As Far As The Pharmacy Education In India Is Concerned, The Pharmacy Council Of India (Pci), The Pharmacy Education Regulator In The Country, Has To Make Substitute Arrangements For The Institutions To Conduct Theory And Practical Classes Through Online Mode. A Minimum Percentage Of The Lecture And The Practical Classes Should Be Made Online And It Has To Be Recognized And Approved By The Regulator.

Colleges Can Also Bring Out More Audio And Video Lessons Prepared By Their Faculties,&Rdquo; He Opined.When Asked About The Possibility Of Carrying Out Practical Classes Through Online Mode, Dr Narayana Said During This Covid Period The Institutions Can Conduct Fifty Per Cent Of The Practical Classes Via Online And The Rest Through Physical Classes.
