NPC D.Pharm

No. This is an independent study page. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the National Planning Commission, the Government of Nepal, or any pharmacy examining body. The npc.gov.np site is used only as the permitted reference source, and it does not publish D.Pharm exam rules.

The permitted source does not state the question count or the duration, so both are marked null pending review. Do not rely on figures from older or unofficial sources. Confirm the current question count and time limit with the official examining authority before you plan your exam-day timing.

The passing score and the fee are not stated in the permitted source, so both are shown as null pending review. Any number you see elsewhere may be out of date. Check the current passing standard and fee directly with the official examining authority when you register.

Three domains are weighted at 20% each: Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, and Pharmacy Practice and Hospital Pharmacy. Together they account for 60% of the exam. Pharmaceutical Legislation and Ethics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Analysis are 15% each, and Community Pharmacy and Health Education is 10%.

Start with the three 20% domains, since they carry the most marks, and build a solid base in each before moving on. Then cover the two 15% domains, legislation and ethics and chemistry and analysis. Finish with community pharmacy and health education at 10%, and reserve the final weeks for mixed revision across all six.

The permitted source does not describe a retake policy or a validity period for a pass, so both are null pending review. Rules on retakes and validity change over time. Ask the official examining authority for the current policy rather than relying on what other candidates tell you.

The permitted source does not state the exam format, so it is listed as unknown pending review. The page does not confirm whether the paper is multiple choice, written, practical, or a mix. Confirm the format with the official examining authority so your practice matches the real paper.

The only permitted source is the National Planning Commission website, which publishes planning documents, bulletins, and notices rather than the D.Pharm syllabus or exam rules. Where the source does not state a value, the field is left null and flagged for review instead of being guessed.

Studying the domains evenly instead of by weight. The three 20% domains carry 60% of the exam, so spreading time equally across all six shortchanges the areas that matter most. Allocate study hours in proportion to the published weights, and check every exam-logistics figure against the official authority.
