Yes, one can do an MBBS after M Pharmacy.
However, having an M Pharmacy (Masters in Pharmacy) may not directly qualify one for MBBS admission in India, as the standard pathway is through the pre-medical undergraduate coursework.
The typical pathway to pursue an MBBS in India involves completing a Class 12 education with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as the main subjects, followed by the NEET-UG for admission to undergraduate medical programs.

Yes Pathology is also studied under MBBS. It is an important part of MBBS. During MBBS, students are introduced to basic concepts of pathology which include disease mechanisms, tissue changes and laboratory diagnostics.
This knowledge helps future doctors understand how diseases affect body, interpret diagnostic tests and even make informed clinical decisions.

Yes candidates can go for some Pathology courses without MBBS like undergraduate programs such as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Medical Laboratory Technology or Clinical Pathology which gives foundational knowledge and practical skills in pathology.
Diploma courses like Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT) or Certificate courses in clinical and medical laboratory techniques offer specialised training without requiring an MBBS.
But an MBBS is necessary for MD Pathology.
Hope this helped your query! All the best!

They are not equal at all. MBBS is a professional UG degree given to you after you have completed your required training in medicine and surgery. It is basically seen as a standard qualification if you want to become a medical doctor.
MPT on the other side is a PG degree in Physiotherapy that is all about physical methods and exercises for treating and rehabilitating patients who have any physical disability.

No, an MBBS degree is not required to pursue a career after Acupuncture courses.
Acupuncture is a specialised field within traditional medicine and typically requires the completion of dedicated acupuncture courses.
While an MBBS degree provides a comprehensive understanding of conventional medical practices, it does not specifically cover acupuncture or TCM in depth.
However, having a background in medicine can be beneficial for integrating acupuncture with other medical treatments and enhancing a practitioner’s overall understanding of health and disease.
