BDS

To get admission to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program at Dr. Harvansh Singh Judge Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital for the year 2024, candidates should aim for a safe score in the NEET exam of around 550 to 600 marks. This range is considered competitive and increases the likelihood of obtaining a seat in the program, given the previous year's trends and expected cutoffs. The minimum qualifying marks for NEET 2024 are set at the 50th percentile for general category candidates, which typically translates to a score within the range mentioned above. For candidates from reserved categories, the required percentile is lower, at the 40th percentile.

Choosing between a private Dental and a government BUMS depends on your career aspirations, financial considerations, and interest in the medical field. BDS focuses on dentistry, offering a specialised medical career with a stable demand for dental professionals. However, pursuing BDS from a private institution can be expensive, with fees running into Lacs of rupees.On the other hand, BUMS, a degree in alternative medicine, is offered at a much lower cost in government colleges. It provides a career in Unani medicine, focusing on natural remedies and holistic treatment. While the scope for BUMS is growing, especially in government and research sectors, it may not offer the same level of specialisation as BDS. If your interest lies in Dental health and surgery, BDS could be a better choice, but if you prefer alternative medicine with a lower financial burden, government BUMS might be more suitable.
