Short answer

A source names some degrees for some roles and study routes, and the table below shows which.

Each degree lists the jobs and the study routes that a source names it for.
A role that is not listed is not closed to you. This site just cannot show what that employer accepts.
Ask the employer or programme before you spend money on a course.

Employer listings that name degrees

A listing that names your degree is the clearest signal there is. These listings name degrees directly.

What this does not establish

Does not list MBBS or nursing for this row, does not give a registration rule, pay, shift or hours, and the page has no per-job URL or posting date.
Two older per-job pages that search engines showed (Hidequery.aspx?ID=5 and ID=31) now return 404, so the listings are not stable.

IPC's Careers page on 24 Oct 2026 did not list a Jr. Pharmacovigilance Associate notice (only an Editorial Assistant walk-in on 28.10.2026), so whether the post is open now is unknown.
The first route reads 'Master degree in Pharmacy, Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacy Practice, and Clinical Research' (mapped to MPHARM).

From Healthcare documentation operations. Checked 24 Oct 2026. Next review 20 Nov 2026.

What this does not establish

No site qualification is named (BDS, BPT etc. not mentioned); the listing is from 2023.

Scope of this source

'Non-engineering' graduates would include health degrees, but none is named.

In plain words: A group such as life sciences does not say whether your degree counts. A listing for any non-engineering graduate is wider. In both cases, ask the employer.

Roles that ask for more than a degree

Some posts ask for a diploma or years of experience on top of a degree. Read those lines before you plan around the role.

In plain words: The same course can accept your degree at one institute and not at another, so read the rules of the one you want.

Questions to ask before you spend money

Does the post or programme accept my degree by name, or only a group of degrees? Is registration with a council required, and which one?

Is the post a contract, and for how long? Is a course or certificate needed before joining, and who pays for it? Ask in writing and keep the reply.
