The BDS Loan Guide
Everything about Bachelor of Dental Surgery financing
BDS is a strong professional degree leading to a stable, recession-proof career. Course cost varies dramatically, from under ₹1 L at government dental colleges (AIIMS, MAIDS Delhi) to ₹15-25 L at top private dental colleges. For most Indian students, loan strategy depends on whether you score well on NEET for govt seats (loan ₹5-10 L for living + books) or take private seats (loan ₹15-25 L). Post-BDS, most graduates either pursue MDS for specialization or start private practice within 3-5 years.
