Is my bachelors degree valid there?

Different States have different requirements and admission procedures though for pursuing MDS you have to hold you BDS certificate from a recognised university.Some dental schools consider Dental Admission Test (DAT) as criteria for admission or the National Board Dentistry Examination.Basically there are two parts in this examination. Part 1 is basic science - human anatomy, biochemistry and physiology, microbiology, dental anatomy and occlusion. It consists of 400 multiple choice questions. Part 2 deals with clinical dental topics.
