Thank you for your query 

Marks above 500 have been shown to be sufficient to get bds via 15 % AIQ

Otherwise in private institutions such as Kasturba medical college and kalinga institute of dental science, as low as 400 has been sufficient to get a seat in bds. 

All the best

Once you are done with the BDS course from India, dont just rush all at once rush your application and only do that once you are fully aware of the licensure procedure and the regulatory body’s expectations from you.

First of all, as canada is a very favourable place for dentists, know your worth and check for visa applications.

good luck

Good Luck!

Hi Rishabh! Admissions into medical colleges start at 450 and above by the second and third counseling. A score of 400 and above for the general seats should start in the second round. But also, if you aim for 400 you end up getting 380. So try and aim for a 450, so you're sure of getting into a dental college. If you're looking for admission in the top 20 colleges of India, let's aim for a score of 530+. The mantra is to 'Practice, practice and only practice'. All the best Rishabh. Please feel free to ask anymore queries. 

Dear Shubhansh,

In order to become a dentist you should appear for NEET entrance exam.

Try to get admission in good BDS colleges to get good opprounitity in the future.

Good Luck!!
