In a statement on Wednesday, May 22, PPB noted that the postponement of the exams is due to factors beyond its control.
The board said the professional exams would be held from June 17, 2024, to June 20, 2024.
“The Pharmacy and Poisons Board will conduct the above Pre-registration Exams (Stage I & II) and pre-enrolment exams (Level I & II) from 17th to 20th June 2024, and not 27th to 31st May 2024 as communicated earlier. This is due to factors beyond our control,” read the statement in part.
