You can not become dentist just by giving NEET. First you have earn a Bachelor's Degree and then give Dental Admission Test (DAT). Score of DAT will decide your admission in any dental school. After getting into a dental school you can earn your Dental Degree.

Hope it helps.

Hey Khushboo,

BDS is indeed a good field but it depends on your interest if you can become successful. As far as I know BHU is one of the best universities in India and has a very good faculty for BDS.

With just a BDS degree you won't get a lot of salary. You need to do some specialisation after your BDS for more field work. Then you can open your own clinic or join some good hospital. Your salary will be between 5-10lakhs on an average and if you become a really good dentist then the salary will surely hike up.

I hope this helps, good luck!

Hello Sobana!

If you actually look around, you won't find any industry that's not overcrowded. Look at the stream engineering, law, fashion, management, everywhere students are struggling to grab the seat of their dreams. Infact struggling even after getting the degree. Therefore the scenario with dentistry is nothing different. It's just that in order to stand out from the crowd, you have to pull yourself up, make a goal and put that extra effort to achieve. You shouldn't be looking for the less crowded streams as you may find none, but you can find ways to stand out in that crowd and you will achieve a lot.

All the best!
