Yes, you can pursue a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) abroad after completing your Bachelor's in Pharmacy (B.Pharm) from India.

Most countries offering the Pharm.D, such as the USA, require:
- B.Pharm or equivalent for eligibility
- English proficiency test scores (IELTS, TOEFL)
- Standardized tests like GRE (varies by university)
- Licensing exams after graduation to practice as a pharmacist

With your strong academic background (8.5 CGPA) and plans to take IELTS, you are well-qualified to apply. Program structures and requirements differ by country and are subject to change.
