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.

To become a doctor, you must follow primarily an education that begins with completing a Bachelor's degree generally in a science-related field such as biology or chemistry. The most common route is to pursue a bachelor's degree in medicine and a bachelor's degree in surgery (MBBS), which is 5.5 years of training that includes both theoretical and practical training culminating in mandatory internship. After obtaining an MBBS degree you can further specialize by pursuing postgraduate degrees like a MD or MS in Medicine which usually take another three years to complete.

No, a graduate with a Diploma in Pharmacy (DPharm) is not generally referred to as a doctor. Hence, Invertis University DPharm holders are not termed as doctors. The title of "Doctor" is generally reserved for individuals who have completed a doctoral-level degree. The candidates with a PharmD, MD, PhD, or other doctoral degrees are called doctors. The graduates with a DPharm degree usually hold the title of pharmacist or pharmacy technician, depending on their specific role and responsibilities within the field of pharmacy.

BSc Physiotherapy course graduates are not medical doctors but are highly skilled healthcare professionals. While they play a vital role in patient care by diagnosing and treating physical ailments, they do not hold an MBBS degree required to be addressed as 'Doctors' in the traditional sense.

A PhD in Medicine holder, on the other hand, is a doctor in a specific field of research and academic inquiry. PhD in Medicine graduates contribute to advancing knowledge through research and are experts in their specialised area but do not provide clinical care.

An MSc MLT alone does not qualify an individual to become a doctor, as it is a specialised programme focused on laboratory techniques, diagnostics, and research. To become a medical doctor (MD), one must complete a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree, followed by internships and specialization, if desired.
