Hello Shivam,

Yes, pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) after completing a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) can be a great option for someone who does not want to practice clinical dentistry. Here are some reasons why MPH can be a good career move:

1. Diversifies Your Career Path : MPH opens doors to non-clinical roles in public health, which include research, policy-making, healthcare administration, and health education. You can contribute to improving community health and preventing diseases on a larger scale.
   
   

2. Interdisciplinary Knowledge : MPH programs provide knowledge in areas like epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health economics, and policy. This equips you to work in healthcare settings without being involved in direct patient care.
   
   

3. Job Opportunities : As a dentist with an MPH degree, you can work in government health agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international health organizations (like WHO or UNICEF), research institutions, and healthcare policy think tanks.
   
   

4. Focus on Oral Health at the Population Level : With your background in dentistry, you could focus on public health initiatives aimed at improving oral health at a community or national level, promoting preventive care and education.
   
   

5. Growing Demand in Global Health : With increasing awareness about healthcare systems and their efficiency, public health professionals are in high demand globally. This field offers job stability and opportunities to work in diverse environments.
   
   

6. Flexible Career Growth : MPH graduates can transition into leadership roles in health organizations, work as health consultants, or engage in policy research, all of which offer long-term career growth without clinical work.

If you're more interested in research, public health initiatives, and policy work, MPH is an excellent alternative that still allows you to utilize your healthcare knowledge and contribute to society in meaningful ways.

Hello,

The term "BCA category" isn't standard in NEET admissions.

If you're referring to the OBC (Other Backward Classes) category, the NEET 2024 qualifying percentile was the 40th percentile, with cutoff scores ranging from 163 to 129.  However, securing admission to a government dental college typically required a higher score, often around 400 marks or more.

Hope it helps !

AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) does not offer BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) courses. It is mainly known for MBBS and other medical postgraduate and super-specialty courses. If you want to study BDS in a good government college, you need to appear for the NEET exam. To get a BDS seat in top government colleges, you usually need around 450–500 marks out of 720 (for general category). For reserved categories like SC/ST/OBC, the required marks may be lower, around 350–450 marks, depending on the state and competition level that year.

Dear

i share some insights into factors that may contribute to consistently low BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) exam results.

1. Lack of Proper Foundation in Pre-clinical Subjects : Dental education requires a strong foundation in subjects like anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. Weaknesses in these areas can lead to poor performance in subsequent clinical subjects.

2. Inadequate Practical Training : Dentistry is a highly skill-oriented profession. Insufficient hands-on experience during clinical training can affect students’ ability to perform well in exams that require practical knowledge.

3. Stress and Pressure : The demanding nature of dental education, with rigorous theoretical and practical exams, can result in high stress levels. Stress can hinder concentration and exam performance.

4. Ineffective Study Techniques : Dentistry requires both memorization and understanding of complex concepts. Students may struggle with time management and may not use effective study strategies, leading to poor retention and performance.

5. Lack of Updated Curriculum : Sometimes, the curriculum might not be in sync with the latest trends in dental science, causing a gap between what students are taught and the actual requirements for exams.

6. Limited Resources or Guidance : Some institutions may not provide enough resources or proper guidance, which can limit students' understanding of the subjects. Access to good faculty, resources, and a healthy learning environment is essential for success.

7. Weak English Language Skills : Since medical and dental textbooks are often in English, students with weak English skills may face difficulty in understanding and retaining study material, impacting their exam results.

8. Poor Time Management : Dental education spans a number of subjects. Students who don't allocate enough time to each subject may struggle to prepare adequately for their exams.

Addressing these factors could improve performance and lead to better results in the BDS exams.
