The Dental
Council of India (DCI) was established as a result of the Dentist Act of 1948,
which was intended to regulate dental practice and promote scientific advances.
DCI is the premier governing body of dental education in India.
Dental schools in India fall into one of three major categories:
a) government dental school as a part of a government
university,
b) private dental school affiliated with a government
university, and
c) private dental school as part of a private university.
BDS: A five-year dental education, which
includes about 4000 curriculum hours, leads to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery
degree in India
Dental candidates must meet certain minimum requirements to take
the entrance examination. All candidates applying to dental colleges must be at
least seventeen years old at the time of admission or before December 31 of the
same year of admission.
The duration of the dental course is five years after which the
students are awarded a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (B.D.S.) degree.
India does not have a uniform, nationwide dental licensure
examination such as the NBDE (National Boards) in the United States of America.
At the time of graduation, all students receive a certificate of successful
completion of the five-year curriculum from the dental college / university
along with state-approved dental licensure. “Successful completion” of the 5
–years course means that the dental students have cleared professional
examinations at the end of each of their five years. The professional
examinations, stated otherwise, which include both theory and practical/ lab /
clinical aspects, comprise the dental licensure examination in India.
In addition, dental graduates must register with concerned state
and national government bodies by submitting the specific documents and
applicable fees. The state government issues dental licenses and regulates
dental practice through state law. The Ministries of Health and Education in
India supervise the state government in this regard.
MDS: A three-year additional training in one of the
below mentioned specialties leads to Master of Dental Surgery degree. The
entrance examinations are conducted by various universities and
boards and are extremely competitive.
AIIMS, PGI (Both twice every year), AIPGEE (once every year)
have long been considered as the standard MDS entrance examinations at national
level in India. Other than these, various state boards like Karnataka (KCET /
COMEDK), Maharashtra (MHPGDCET) and many more conduct the entrance exams.
University level examinations like Manipal Acdemy of Higher Education and BHU
entrance examination etc come under third category of examinations.
Other than MDS, one year certificate courses are available.
Indira Gandhi National Open University conducts entrance examination for One
year certificate higher education course after BDS.
