Career Outcomes After BDS
ABSMIDS graduates commonly pursue MDS specialisation, private practice across Karnataka and Kerala, corporate dental chain roles, government dental officer positions, or licensing pathways abroad. Nitte's regional alumni network provides additional referral and mentorship pathways.
Internship & Clinical Training
The mandatory 1-year rotating internship is completed within ABSMIDS's own dental hospital across all specialities — a Dental Council of India (now National Dental Commission) requirement before BDS graduates can register to practise.
