Bachelor of Dental Surgery
The dental surgery degree, with far more accessible cut-offs than MBBS.
BDS is a five-year dental degree including a compulsory rotating internship, and admission is through NEET UG. Cut-offs are considerably lower than MBBS, which makes it a realistic medical-stream option for a large number of NEET-qualified students.
We help you compare dental colleges on what actually matters for a dentist — clinical material, patient footfall, laboratory infrastructure and internship quality — and not just on the fee figure.
