Hi,
I am a Dental Graduate.I would like to know if I am eligible for CMSE .Also I would like to know that wheter the various recruitment for dentists via UPSC require to give any examination for eligibility for application.

Hello friend,
The Combined Medical Service Exam is conducted by Union Public Service Commission.

The maximum age limit to be eligible is 32 years for candidates belonging to general category, 37 years for candidates belonging to SC/ST category and 35 years for candidates belonging to OBC category.

Apart from written examination, UPSC also recruits dentists directly for medical services in different parts of the country.

I feel dental council of India must stop giving recognition to fresh dental colleges becouz there is very less opportunity of job for dentist. in India

HII M A GRADUATE FROM andhra pradesh, I TOO AGREE FOR D ABOVE STATEMENT coz dere are many dentists just for d sake of being called as docs, dey not even know how to extract a tooth. this is all coz giving recognition to d collleges which dont even have an O.P of 10 per day, and giving 3 to 4 pg seats in dose colleges, where govt.colgs having 500 to 600 per day u.g seats of 40 and 2 p.g per dept since 30 years dat too only 1 govt colg in a.p soo sad dis is.
many of dentists giving up dere degree and transferring to other courses llike mba, appsc groups just coz of lack of oppurtunities
