Clinical exposure covers departments including conservative dentistry, oral medicine, oral surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, and prosthodontics across the programme.
Ques. Can BDS graduates from TMU practice dentistry in India?
Ans. Yes. After completing the BDS degree and the mandatory 1-year internship, graduates must register with the Dental Council of India or the relevant State Dental Council to practice as dentists. Once registered, they can set up their own dental clinic, work at hospitals and dental chains, or pursue MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) for postgraduate specialisation in areas such as oral surgery, orthodontics, or prosthodontics.
Ques. What is the duration of the BDS internship at TMU?
Ans. The BDS programme includes a mandatory 1-year clinical internship after the 4-year academic programme, making the total duration of the course 5 years.
