Bachelor in Dental Surgery (BDS)
MBBS Admission in Abroad or India
Studying BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is the 2nd best respectful choice after MBBS for those who want to groom their career in medical field. MBBS and BDS are equally difficult and equally easy. Many people would probably think, being a dentist is an easy job, but doing precise and tedious work in a tiny area with your hands and having your eyes focused on a small area for long periods of time, its only possible for dentist. That’s why we call them a doctor along with an engineer and an artist. “Dentist make the world a better place, with a single smile at a time.”
BDS is one of the most demanded professional courses after 12th. It is a compulsory course for the students aspiring to work as dentists at government or private hospitals. The total course will be complete in 4 years and 1 year of compulsory rotating internship. In this course, students are taught about dentistry, dental problems and surgery. It is a good job oriented degree program and various opportunities are available in hospital, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing industries.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
- The aspiring candidate must have passed the 10+2 qualifying exam with a minimum of 50% aggregate from a recognized institute.
- They must have studied the subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology compulsorily in their 10+2.
- In almost every college offering this course, the admissions are based on the result of NEET. The student must clear the cut-off of the exam to be eligible for admission.
- If the students manage to qualify for the entrance, they need to appear for the counseling sessions organized by the colleges.

WHY YOU CHOOSE BDS:
A plethora of career options are open to students after BDS. The most obvious choice would be to practice as a dentist. An important point is that students must register with the Dental Council of India to be able to practice as a dentist. The career options are listed below:
Set up private practice: A common option followed by many dentists who have passed and registered themselves with the Dental Council of India. This will require some amount of funds and a good location. It also will take sometimes before the dentists can establish themselves.
Consultant: In case setting up one’s own practice is not appealing, working as a consultant with established hospitals is another option. Here, one have to take the patients who visit the hospital for their dental problems.
Teaching: The job requires experienced doctors who can answer queries and teach well. Mostly the doctors attached to the Govt hospitals also work as consulting professors to the students at the attached colleges. However, teaching is an option for dentists who have an inclination for it albeit after gaining some experience working as a dentist.
Options Abroad: To work abroad or practice as a dentist, one needs to check the regulations of the country and fulfill them to start work. Students can even practice their skills in countries like the US and Canada to earn an increased income compared to what they get in India. However, for this, they need to clear exams like NBDE or NDEB.
