No, a graduate with a Diploma in Pharmacy (D Pharm) is not typically referred to as a doctor. The title of "doctor" is usually reserved for individuals who have completed a doctoral-level degree such as Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), MD (Doctor of Medicine), PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), or other doctoral degrees.
Graduates with a D Pharm degree usually hold the title of pharmacist or pharmacy technician, depending on their specific role and responsibilities within the field of pharmacy.

Definitely, one can pursue B Pharma after completing D Pharma. The process is slightly different in terms that once a candidate completes a D Pharma, instead of taking admission to B Pharma directly and starting from the first year, the candidate can take admission to lateral entry. In this case, the candidate has to take admission in 2nd year and then the B Pharma shall be of three-year duration. This is a popular method of pursuing a B Pharma, wherein the candidates wish to expand their knowledge base as well as pursue a higher degree in Pharmacy.

No, candidates cannot pursue D Pharma if they are from the Commerce stream.
In India, most D Pharma programs require candidates to have a Science background with specific subjects at the Class 12 level, including Physics, Chemistry, and either Biology or Mathematics. As a Commerce student, candidates may not meet the typical eligibility criteria for D Pharma admission since they would not have studied the necessary Science subjects.

Candidates don't have to be a certain age for D Pharma. But it can also be different according to colleges and countries they apply in.
But eligibility like educational qualifications and prerequisites may still apply.

Yes, you can pursue a Diploma in Pharmacy (D Pharm) after completing a BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) graduation. However, it's important to note that the transition from a computer-related field like BCA to pharmacy may involve a significant shift in subjects and career focus.
Candidates might need to fulfil certain prerequisites or additional requirements to enrol in a D Pharm programme since the subjects studied in BCA and pharmacy are quite different.
