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.

The National Exit Test (NEXT) (called the National Exit Test Dental/Dental NExT for dental graduates) will be introduced but until then students have to register with the Dental Council of India (DCI) and the state councils after their 1-year internship. It will probably become mandatory to pass the yet-to-be-introduced NExT exam to get a license to practice and also admit into a postgraduate course.

The average salary of a BDS is INR 3.3 LPA whereas BHMS average annual salary amounts to INR 4.1 LPA.
Further, the earning potential of professionals in India, whether in the field of BDS or BHMS, can vary depending on several factors such as experience, location, type of practice (private or public sector), additional qualifications, and demand for their services in the area.
