Pancereas excretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food. Hence it can be a exocrine gland.

It also secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon directly into the blood stream to control blood sugar levels throughout the day. Hence it can be a endocrine gland.
