Will I be considered as a doctor if I have a degree of BPT course?

No completion of a BPT programme does not award one with title 'doctor' in medical sense yet a graduate shall hold a professional qualification in Physiotherapy. Students are trained in many aspects of physical therapy as a way of evaluating patients and treating musculoskeletal conditions, neurological conditions, cardiopulmonary cases and also other co-morbid diseases with exercise, manual therapy among many other modalities.

After completion of your BPT course plus Internship, you can write Dr. prefix before your name, but after completion of your name you should mention PT.
All the best. -
This tittle of doctor being used by BPT professionals is quite a topic of controversy,but considering the rules available till now a doctor degree is not given to BPT students after passing. BPT students are labeled as therapists not doctors. All the best. -
Yes, after a four and half years course, a BPT student is given the title of doctor.
