BDS in India

Both courses are considered as healthcare specialties. However, one of the commonest reason most people consider MBBS more prestigious than BDS is the sheer fact that an MBBS doctor studies and obtains a licence to treat general ailments of the entire human body.

The BDS is a 5 year (4 years academic education + 1 year mandatory internship) UG degree programme. This course can be pursued through full time and part time courses. The BDS is one of the most sought courses after 12th in medical field. There are many reputed universities in India which are offering the BDS course.

Hi
Of course you are eligible. Whether it's good or not, depends upon where you do it from and what is your field of interest. Doing an MBA will take you away from clinical field and into more of management. With the mushrooming of corporate hospitals, there is a huge scope for doctors who can be managers. So, if you are up for the challenge, a vast field awaits you after your MBA. Good luck!

If you have already taken BDS the best thing you can opt for is MS. There are various specializations in the field of dental sciences like Prosthodontics, Periodontics, Orthodontics, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Operative Dentistry, Pedodontics & Preventive Dentistry, Conservative, Endodontics & Aesthetic Dentistry, and Periodontology & Oral Implantology.

You may pursue MS from Melbourne if you wish to stay with the same specialisation.

You can choose to be an academic lecturer in a dental college or more options are open after MS. So you can even consider going for Masters.
