Graduates from government colleges have better accesses to job sectors in public sector institutions like government hospitals and clinics, while private college graduates find opportunities in private hospitals, private clinics, sports facilities, and rehabilitation centers.
Particularly for freshers from government colleges, starting salary could be a bit higher; in government healthcare institutions, pay scales are mostly standardized. 

But, Physiotherapists from private colleges may get lower salaries at beginning but may have a wider scope of earning greatly through private practice or specialization.

Main difference between a degree and a Diploma in Physiotherapy is all about level of education and area of practice.

A degree in Physiotherapy means a university or college undergraduate or graduate degree course. All undergraduate courses are roughly 3 to 4 years in duration. Degree course is about all rounded education in physiotherapy. 

A Diploma in Physiotherapy is shorter and more focused than a degree. Such programs are usually short running for 1 to 2 years and are best for those who want to get jobs quickly after their education.

Ease of studying a Physiotherapy course depends on individual tastes, learning styles, dedication and also effort that candidates are ready to pay to their studies.

Physiotherapy comes along with its challenges and complexities but opportunities presented are rewarding for one interested in healthcare, human anatomy and also rehabilitation.

At the end difficulty level depends on individual because it is subjective.

Since this is an undergraduate program, no bachelor's degree is explicitly required. basic eligibility for admission to BPT course is passing Class 12 with a Science stream, securing at least 50%, and studied at least a PCB combination.

No physiotherapists are not called doctors because they do not have MD or MBBS.

They are not medical doctors who give medicine and do surgery. They only treat where there is inabiltiy in movement. 

To be a doctor, one needs to do MBBS and/or MD.

No a BHMS doctor cannot prescribe allopathy medicine.
Homeopathy is an alternative medicine that makes use of highly diluted substances for body's healing response.
But allopathy represents conventional system of medicine that is generally followed by doctors of modern medicine.

Yes, you can definitely pursue MD after BHMS. 

It is possible to do specialisation in an area of Medicine through MD courses. Specialization can bring deepening of knowledge and particular skill development in a specific field such as Pediatrics, Dermatology, or Psychiatry. Having a degree in MD opens more career opportunities than with just a BHMS.
