What is the Eligibility for Chitradurga Pharmacy Officer Recruitment 2026?
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Education | D.Pharm (Diploma in Pharmacy) |
| Where you studied | Only from institutions recognised by the Government of Karnataka |
| Registration | Compulsory registration with the Karnataka Pharmacy Council |
| Maximum Age | 45 years |
Two lines here can cost you the job. The D.Pharm must be obtained only from a Karnataka-government-recognised institution, so a diploma from elsewhere does not meet the condition as written. Registration with the Karnataka Pharmacy Council is not optional, so keep your registration certificate ready. Other medical and healthcare government jobs are also listed on our site.
