Government Dental College, Thiruvananthapuram

Graduates commonly pursue MDS specialisation (NEET-MDS), government dental officer roles in Kerala's public health system, private practice, or hospital-affiliated clinical positions, including opportunities in the Gulf given Kerala's strong healthcare-emigration pipeline.

The mandatory 1-year rotating internship is completed within the college's own dental hospital — a Dental Council of India (now National Dental Commission) requirement before BDS graduates can register to practise.
