   Period of Training

BDS course extends for a period of four and a half academic years followed by twelve months compulsory rotating internship. The course is subdivided as follows:

First, Second, Third and fourth B.D.S. courses are considered separately and classes and ranks are awarded separately. Fourth B.D.S. Part 1 and Part 2 are considered as separate courses. Those who fail to secure 50% of marks in a particular subject will be declared as failed in that subject and they will have to appear for examinations in the subjects concerned subsequently. Failed candidates will have to undergo additional course for remedial teaching. It is not compulsory to attend additional course for those who enjoy the carryover benefit. “Carry over” means that for example if a student passes two of the three subjects he will be promoted to next year, but will have to clear the failed subject before appearing for subsequent year exam. This will be applicable to students as per the pertinent rules.
