For the first time in 74 years, the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) curriculum is all set for an overhaul.
About:
The decision by the Dental Council of India, which falls under the Union Health Ministry, is aimed at bringing the undergraduate course on a par with global standards, while making it more job-oriented and up to date.
At present the BDS is a five-year course, which comprises four-year academics and one year of internship.
The proposed credit-based curriculum will be a five-and-a-half-year course, which consists of four-and-a-half years of academics and one year of rotational internship.
The exam pattern will shift from yearly to semester system where the student has the option to pick from the 50 to 60 elective subjects offered alongside.
