My daugher is doing BDS from Ahmedabad. what are the chances in india for the job after completing BDS, if she dont want to open her clinic? Is there any bright chances in abroad like canada to persue higher studies in same filed or to do practice after dentist after completing BDS from india
Ans: Hello Vimal,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your daughter is pursuing her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS). To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that on completing her degree in India, it is possible for your daughter to pursue higher studies or practice dentistry abroad. You would be happy to know that dental graduates from India are presented with many opportunities to further their education or to practice dentistry by a number of countries, including Canada.

I would like to let you know that in order to qualify for licensure in Canada, international dental graduates are generally required to go through a process of assessment and examinations. With an aim to access their abilities and knowledge in the field of dentistry, this procedure may entail exams, and if necessary, further training or education. Nevertheless, remember that the specified prerequisites for each province may differ, and for that reason I would suggest that you conduct an extensive study and comprehend the rules in the province you choose to practice in.

In addition, bear in mind that in numerous nations, including Canada, you can also pursue programs specializing in dentistry, or study further viz., a Master's degree. Although having unique admission standards and requirements, a path to greater specialization and professional growth in the area of dentistry, is offered by these programs. Remember that while it is possible to explore possibilities abroad after earning a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from India, I would recommend that you conduct an all-round study on the prerequisites and procedures required to study or practice dentistry in your preferred country.

Prof. I went to university when I was 17 and studied computer science graduated with a third class because of challenges from both my health and the staff adviser in the department at that time. My transcripts till date can attest that I have an ample of B grades and C's. But my health was a challenge,I suffered from migraines at that young age. The departmental staff adviser just refused the approval given by the registrar for Seven courses I couldn't take including my project because of ill health and these courses are reflected as F`'s till today.I do not know what to do and it's about 17 years today. I was advised to take a postgraduate diploma in Computer science that it will supplement the degree which I did and I graduated with a GPA of 4.36/5. But since then it has not been easy to get admission into MSc. in computer science.For instance I have applied to some school in Finland and Lithuania and they have turned down my application. Prof. Please in this case what should I do? I like studying as a person,if not for this single challenge I would have bagged my PhD. I have both a postgraduate diploma in management and a postgraduate diploma in Education. Should I go back and start a fresh Bachelor Honours degree in Computer science? Should I take the University to court? I have written series of letters to them, I personally went there they kept telling me they can't find my records in the department. Can you graduate a student with a Bachelor's Honours degree with out a project and a project score, with 7 Fail grades on his transcript and say he has satisfied the fulfilment of an award for the Bachelor's of science honours. I am from Nigeria and schooled in Nigeria. I am 42 years old at the moment. Thank you for your time and your counsel.
Ans: Can file a case against the university. In most cases the university will try to settle before it goes to the court. Simultaneously can look at option of doing correspondence post graduation where you can get admission based on your current credentials.
