No, applicants from the Commerce stream are not eligible to pursue a DPharm at Saveetha University. The majority of DPharm programmes in India require applicants to have a Science background, including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, at the Class 12 level. As a Commerce student, candidates may not meet the typical eligibility criteria for DPharm admission since they would not have studied the necessary Science subjects.

There is a major difference between a BPharm and a DPharm course offered at Saveetha University. Bachelor of Pharmacy is a four-year undergraduate degree course that covers a broad range of subjects, extensive curriculum and more practical exposure. The DPharm course is a Diploma programme with a duration of two years, that covers fewer subjects, limited curriculum and narrow practical exposure compared to BPharm. Another major difference that can be spotted among BPharm graduates and DPharm diplomats is that candidates with a four-year BPharm degree have more opportunities and scopes of jobs compared to DPharm students.

Yes, it's possible to pursue a Diploma in Pharmacy (DPharm) course at Saveetha University Chennai after completing Class 12 in a non-medical stream. While some universities or colleges may prefer candidates who have studied Science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), including Mathematics in their Class 12 curriculum, but Saveetha University accepts candidates from both PCM and PCB stream.
