1.0 Introduction An explosion of pharmacy education has happened in the last few decades. There has been spurt in number of institutions, number of students, and types of degrees and streams. The outcome of this growth has been both positive and negative. While the students have an easy choice to pursue pharmacy as a career, against the situation where only few privileged could get admission earlier, the uncontrolled growth in number of pharmacy institutions and ever enhancing number of sanctioned seats has unsettled the situation. The absence of quality teachers and training/research facilities in majority of institutions has lead to decline in the worth of the students, who have been reduced to status of a cheap labor. Other ills have also crept in pharmaceutical education, like offer of money by institutions to students for taking admission, award of degrees to non-attending students, non-payment of due salary to teachers, forcing teachers to pass the students, tendency of inspectors of statutory bodies to accept or seek financial alms from institutional managements, etc. The situation needs to be changed urgently, for which a systematic thought process and effort is needed. One possible way is to extend the Quality by Design concept, which recently has been implemented in pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing, to pharmaceutical education.
