Career Outcomes After BDS
Graduates commonly pursue MDS specialisation, private practice, corporate dental chain roles, government dental officer positions, or licensing pathways abroad, benefiting from the Chettinad Health City's broader clinical network.
Internship & Clinical Training
The mandatory 1-year rotating internship is completed within the college's own dental hospital and, where relevant, the broader Chettinad Health City hospital network — a Dental Council of India (now National Dental Commission) requirement before BDS graduates can register to practise.
