  2. sir
    I have completed my b.pharm from maharashtra SUK university, kohlapur
    having no experience and didn’t having knowledge about other states regional languages can I apply for other state exam .??

    1. Sorry we missed your comment as you asked on unrelated post. you can apply in other states but working knowledge of states language is required. See the states vacancies for clarification. But if you at-least know hindi apart from marathi you can apply in many northern states.

    1. These are not parentral and are steroid drugs, hence do not come under schedule c and C1.
      Government recently proposed to bring them under schedule H.

  3. Dear sir,
    whether ( CLOVISTA-625) Amoxycillin and Potassium Clavulanate combination to treat RTI, UTI and gynaecological infections. tablets are coming under schedule C &C1 ?.
    i’m working in manufacturing CLOVISTA-625 as a trainee (b.pharm) in hll life care plant, belagavi.
    please reply me,
    18 moths expr in mfg of CLOVISTA-625 , as trainee is valid for karnataka drug inspector .

  4. I have done b.pharm.
    And i have 2 yrs experience in testing of surgical sterile sutures and disposables devices..
    So will this experience count for DI..
    OR
    only need to experience in parenterals biopharmceuticals

    1. Licence on Form 21 is issued for retail sale of Allopathic drugs specified in Sch C & C(1).(Form-19)
      Licence on Form 21-B is issued for wholesale of Allopathic drugs specified in Sch C & C(1). (Form-19)

  5. Sir,
    I have B.Pharma & 2 Yrs experience in Multivitamin syrup manufacturing company as manufacturing trainee chemist. So will this experience count DI…..Or not.

  6. I am.pharm passout and working in a analytical laboratory for past 2 years,will this experience be considered under eligibility critera for drug inspector or have to work specifically in a pharmaceutical company.??

    1. yes it will work, your experience certificate should mention that you were involved in testing of schedule c or c1 drugs.

  7. I’m working in a DMPK department (Drug metabolism and Pharmacokinetics), where we analyze many substances both in vitro and in vivo. Will this make me eligible to apply for DI?

    1. testing should be related to the quality of the manufactured c and c1 drug on various parameters. If you test the quality and authenticity of the drug you can mention in experience certificate and apply.

      1. Actually it’s the pre-clinical studies we do. So i think it won’t be considered for DI. Any commnet on this from your side?

    2. c and c1 manfacturing certificate from any company. But testing work experience only from the ‘approved laboratory for this purpose’ is accepted. So preclinical studies do not make you eligible.
      But good thing is, in 2018 notificaton upsc did not ask for mandatory experience. Also in many states you can without experience.

  8. Sir,
    I have completed my M-pharm, in pharmaceutics, and presently working in Drug regulatory affairs from last 14 months, so am i eligible to apply for Drug inspector in Maharashtra.
    Please reply.
    Thank You.
    Ravi..

  9. sir, I have completed my m pharm and I have regulatory affairs experience of 17 months with my first company which manufactures antibiotics and parenteral +ophthalmic products. Further I have 1 year experience in QA-Regulatory supervision (which is also work of regulation in conjunction with QA) in another company which have microbiology based products of schedule C i.e. serum & schedule C1 i.e. antibiotic discs- not used for human administration, will it be eligible for drug inspector post of central government (UPSC) and state government??? Please guide me sir or else I will have to switch QC profile in other company?

    1. if you were involved only in regulatory documentation work then it will not be sufficient when experience is essential. You should be involved in testing directly.
      But most state governments do not ask for 18 months experience. Also in 2018 notification upsc did not ask for mandatory experience. so you can apply without experience.

  11. Dear sir,
    I find this portal to be informative and very useful, Thank you sir.
    I know only Hindi and English language. I am eligible for which states for DI exam ?
    also if i have worked for 18 complete months as a QA/QC analyst in manufacturing unit of C/C1 schedule, will they easily provide us the experience certificate or its depending on terms and condition whether to give certificate or not?

    1. you are eligible for all north indian states like up, uttranchal, himachal pradesh, rajasthan and; central states like madhypradesh, bihar, jharkhand .
      How easily you get experience certificate depends on your rapport with them. Just Ask them nicely. It is your right , does no depend on conditions.

  12. Thank you so much for such a humble reply. So shall i clear my purpose of joining the job is for experience certificate only, i mean at the time of interview before joining the job. Plz answer this final confusion sir.
    Thank you.

    1. no you cannot do that. they wont hire you. Just work there, do not develop grudge with anybody, and you will get experience certificate when you need it.

  13. Dear sir, I’ve worked in bioanalysis of blood and plasma samples of BA/BE studies, can i get schedule C exp certificate?

    1. no because testing if schedule c and c1 drugs here means the quality assurance of drugs , not their level in blood or plasma. In drug testing only experience from approved laboratories is valid.
