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.

Thankfully, sitting for an exam is not necessary for D Pharma courses.

A few colleges also give admission to D Pharma on basis of 12th standard.

There might be different entrances in various states or colleges, while some may look into results of national or state-level exams. Besides, some institutions may give students direct entry if they score well in qualifying examination.
That's why it is very important for students to know prerequisites of college or university they want to join.

Difference between D Pharma and B Pharma is that B Pharma is a Bachelor's programme of four year duration whereas D Pharma is a two year Diploma course. Most of B Pharm courses are offered strictly on basis of national level or state level exams but D Pharma courses are offered on basis of merit by many colleges.
