@ Arpita,
Hello Dear,
Before you go to apply under NOC 3131.
You should download Instruction guide [IMM EG7000] from here to see how many points you can score from your education and your spouse education.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp
You will find this on Page # 7
Use the chart below to determine your points. If you have not completed the number of years of study that correspond to your highest educational credential, award yourself points based on the number of years of study.
Example 1: If you have a Master‟s degree but have completed only 16 years of full-time study, award yourself 22 points.
Example 2: If you have a four-year Bachelor's degree and have completed 14 or more years of study, award yourself 20 points.
and for spouse you will find this on page # 13
A. Spouse or common-law partner’s level of education
Secondary school (high school) diploma or less: 0 points
A one-year diploma, trade certificate, apprenticeship, or university degree and at least 12 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies: 3 points
A diploma, trade certificate, apprenticeship, or university degree of two years or more and at least 14 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies: 4 points
A Master‟s degree or PhD and at least 17 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies: 5 points
To my understanding if your spouse got the Master degree after 17 years of education then you score 5 points but if she/he got her/his Master degree after less than 17 years of education then you will not be able to score 5 points. So i think you should score more in IELTS not only 12 points.
And as for your diploma in Pharmacy is concerned.
I would like you to check this link;
