Undergraduate
Duration 4 Years

Aimed to equip graduates in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and disorders of the teeth, mouth, jaw, and related tissues, the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) is a professional undergraduate dental course. For undergraduates, the program offers thorough knowledge, clinical skills, and the correct attitude for general dental practice. Students learn about community oral health and help to increase public health consciousness and outreach by also being encouraged to engage in rural health care delivery programs.
Specializations – Undergraduate (BDS)
According to the given data, the undergraduate BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) program lacks any official specialisations. Rather it offers thorough instruction in all main spheres of dentistry. Students pick knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for general dental practice—including prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases related to teeth, mouth, jaws, and associated tissues—during the course.
Duration: 4 Years + 1 year internship
Comprising a four-year academic course with a minimum of 240 teaching days each academic year, the undergraduate dental training program producing the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree is set out. Every candidate must do a mandatory one-year paid rotating internship in a dental college following successful completion of the final BDS exam. Completing this internship is required to earn the BDS degree and is a required course of study. Through practical clinical experience in several dental departments, the internship guarantees graduates are ready for general dental practice and community oral health responsibilities. The BDS program runs five years overall, including the internship.

The NEET score directs totally merit-based choice. Candidates had to show at least the 50th percentile in NEET (45th percentile for some PWD groups and 40th percentile for SC/ST/OBC). Should enough candidates in any category fall short of the required percentile, the Central Government, working with the Dental Council of India, could lower the minimum marks for that year.
