Career Outcomes After BDS
Graduates commonly pursue MDS specialisation, private practice across North Karnataka, corporate dental chain roles, government dental officer positions, or licensing pathways abroad, benefiting from the SDM Trust's extensive regional network.
Internship & Clinical Training
The mandatory 1-year rotating internship is completed within the college's own dental hospital across all specialities — a Dental Council of India (now National Dental Commission) requirement before BDS graduates can register to practise.
