Hey Pallavi,

It would be difficult to tell you your exact chances as cutoffs vary from year to year depending on various factors like no. of candidates appearing for the exam, no. of seats available, difficulty of the exam and the top NEET scores. You score is not enough to get you a dental or medical seat in Maharashtra. You can try to score better next year or try for private colleges in any other state.

To know more about your chances, you can use the Careers 360 college predictor tool:

Hi Abhinaya,

Yes it is good idea. Masters will always open new doors. Infact you can also take CAT exam after your BDS. IIMs cutoff is low for students are not from Engineering background. You have a medical background so life becomes much easier to get into IIMs.

Hello Shivaraj!

If you want to pursue medicine or dentistry in future, you have to get through the entrance exam NEET- National Eligibility Entrance Test, which is an all India level Entrance test to get admission in various medical and dental colleges.

There are various eligibility criteria for NEET- 

1. You should be of age 17 years by the 31st December of the exam year. Like if you planning to give in 2020, you should be 17years of age by 31st December, 2020 

2. Your core subjects in class 12th needs to be PCB and English 

3. You have to score a minimum of 50% in class 12th examination in order to get an admission in a college.

Therefore, a minimum of 50% in class 12th examination is must to be eligible for NEET. However, I would suggest you to put in your best in class 12th as the syllabus of entrance exam is quite common with that of Class 11th and 12th.

All the best!

Hi Vv,

According to my understanding, it happens all at the same type. The students must be having the marks/ rank to qualify for admission. Based on your rank, they will determine the colleges (govt/pvt) that you will be getting. 

Hope this helps!

Hello Sneha,

It depends on the college you are getting into. There are various career options for BDS Aspirant, In this course, the students learn & taught about the denture, dental problems and surgery.

Some of the options are mentioned below:

Set up private practice: A common option followed by many dentists who have passed and registered themselves with the Dental Council of India. This will require some amount of funds and a good location. It also will take sometime before the dentists can establish themselves.

Consultant: Working as a consultant with established hospitals is another option. Here, you would be like an employee who is required to take on the patients who visit the hospital for their dental problems.

Teaching: Generally freshers are not taken in for teaching. The job requires experienced doctors who can answer queries and teach well. However teaching is an option for dentists who have an inclination for it albeit after gaining some experience working as a dentist.

Further Study: Another option would be to go in for Masters in Dental Surgery. The specializations available like Oral Medicine, Diagnosis, and Radiology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Prosthodontics etc. allow dentist to choose the area in which they would like to mark their career.

Dentists can also pursue a management course like MHA (Masters in Hospital Administration) or MPH (Masters in Public Health). This will allow them to step into the management side of health organizations or hospital chains.

Salary differs as per the career option you choose.

Good Luck!
