BDS is not a waste of time, but it needs patience. Many people online complain about low starting salaries, but that's mostly true for freshers without extra skills like an MDS specialization. If you focus on clinical skills, specialize after BDS, or start your own clinic, the career can pay off well. Think of BDS as the starting point, not the finish line.

BDS and MBBS lead to very different careers, so calling one better isn't fully accurate. MBBS offers wider job options and higher average pay, while BDS is more specialised and works well for those genuinely interested in dentistry. If you're only choosing BDS because you couldn't get MBBS, you may regret it. But if you like dental work, BDS can be a solid, focused career.

If you want admission in government college, then you should score at least above 400 and if you want admission in private College, you just have to pass the exam because they is gonna take donation from you or their fees are already so much high. So just passing the exam is not much difficult, you can do it. I wish you luck.

Pursuing BAOTT course at Brainware University is a good choice as it involves clinical exposure and job placement record.

College has not disclosed any specific dress codes.
You can expect mandatory lab coats. A standard white apron/scrubs with an attached official college name plate is mostly compulsory during all working hours, laboratory sessions and hospital postings at dental colleges.
