Hi Parv,
US does not recognize a dental license from India. The person must complete DDS from USA and be licensed through one of the boards (eastern, california, etc.) to be able to practice .Colleges which offer Advanced Standing Program (DDS/DMD) to foreign trained dentists require at least NDEB Part I. Most of the dental schools which offer this program require at least 83%.Foreign dental students can get into the Advanced Placement program of DDS wherein they join in the 2nd year of the program.
Typically, yearly expenses are in the range of US $ 80,000 to one lakh dollar. So, a two year program will cost US $1,60,000 to US $200,000.

Hi Rati,
Traditionally, those who do net get admission in MBBS, go for BDS. But now a days, there is a huge scope for BDS if you can have your own clinic with modern equipment.
Plain MBBS will not do unless you follow it up with MD/MS. If you compare salaries in hospitals, MBBS will always get higher remunerations compared to BDS.

Hi Parul,
If you have enough money to splurge, you could buy yourself a PG Medical specialization seat. Pointing to the widespread corruption in the education system of the country, medical seats in the country are being offered for as much as 1.5 crore. Paying such a huge amount might ensure you a bright future but is a PG medical seat worth all the money?
For more details on the same, kindly refer the link below:

Hi Esha,
Most of the students think that once we enter a medical college, we just have to treat patients and don't have much dynamic career options like other professions. That is certainly not the case. MD/MS/Diploma - This is the most commonly chosen path after MBBS for people who wish to continue with their medical career.
You can pursue post graduation in various specialties like internal medicine, general surgery, obs. & gynecology, pediatrics, etc. For this you need to give AIPGMEE exam, held in December every year. There's no need to mention about the scope of this field as specialist Doctors are the need of the hour. MD/MS are

Plain MBBS will not do unless you follow it up with MD/MS. If you compare salaries in hospitals, MBBS will always get higher remunerations compared to BDS. The thing that matters the most is college from where you pursue your medical program be it BDS or MBBS. Either go for any good govt college or private universities like Santosh University,
JIPMER ,Pondicherry etc. Good luck!
