Bachelor of Dental Surgery

Programme Overview

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.

Percentile is calculated on the basis of the highest marks in the NEET All-India merit list.

Reservation of seats will be as per prevailing State/Union Territory laws.

Separate All-India and State-wise merit lists will be prepared based on NEET scores.

Non-Eligibility: Candidates failing to meet the minimum marks requirement will not be admitted. All admissions are solely based on NEET scores.

Admission Criteria

The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET), yearly given by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), determines admission to the BDS program alone.

Selection Criteria

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.
