Hello,

The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) only accepts 10+2 qualifications from boards recognised by the Government of India or state governments.

Haryana Council of Open Schooling (HCOS) is not recognised by PCI. So, if you pass 12th from HCOS, PCI will not accept it for pharmacy courses.

Your marksheet will most likely be rejected by PCI. It is better to complete 12th from NIOS or any state/CBSE recognised board.

Hope it helps !

Hii farman!

No, PCI will not approve HCOS (Haryana council of Open schooling) 12th marksheet as it is not recognised by the pharmacy council of India for admission to pharmacy courses.

According to PCI rules only those 10+2 qualification are acceptable which are issued by school boards and are officially recognised by state or central government and are also considered to be equivalent by the association of Indian University (AIU).

At present, HCOS does not appear in the list of recognised bords under council of boards of school education in India (COBSE). This means that if you who have passed class 12th from HCOS you cannot use that marksheet for pharmacy admission or registration under PCI.

Hii :)

Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) usually accepts only those 12th marksheets which are from boards recognized by the government. Many open schooling boards, including some private ones, are not approved. If Haryana Council of Open Schooling is not on the PCI’s recognized list, then your marksheet may be rejected for pharmacy admission. It is best to first confirm from PCI or your chosen college whether this board is valid before applying, so you don’t face problems later.
