Healthcare Pathway
Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery
MBBS Degree
MBBS is the basic degree in medical science. In the MBBS program, students study key early subjects first. These include anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. Then the training shifts to hospital work. Students join clinical postings such as medicine, surgery, paediatrics, and gynaecology. The course ends with a required internship.
Healthcare pathway
Bachelor of Dental Surgery
BDS Degree
BDS helps students learn oral health, dental anatomy, prosthodontics, orthodontics, and oral surgery. It is the main entry qualification you need to work in dentistry. Getting into BDS is also done in a way that looks like MBBS. You need a NEET score, you must meet the academic eligibility rules, and then you are placed by university choice.

What each course actually covers
Both start from the same class 12 foundation. What happens after admission is where they diverge.
MBBS, in detail
The broader of the two degrees — a foundation for treating the whole body, before any specialisation begins.
BDS, in detail
A focused track in oral diagnosis, restorative dentistry, oral surgery and preventive care — its own admission process and its own regulator.
Where students go, region by region
