No, a BMLT course does not qualify one to become a medical doctor (physician) in India. BMLT is a specialised degree that focuses on medical laboratory technology and diagnostics.
To become a medical doctor (physician), one typically needs to complete a medical degree program, such as MBBS or MD.
If one is really interested in becoming a medical doctor, they would need to pursue an MBBS or MD programme after completing their BMLT degree. The BMLT admission requirements and procedures for medical programs vary by institution, so it's essential to research the specific requirements of the medical schools you're interested in.
