DCI has proposed a bridge course after BDS, so that BDS graduates can get MBBS degree. Can someone please tell me, when will it start and which all colleges are applying for it. Anyone who thinks it’s a waste of time need not answer.

BDS and MBBS are totally different courses and a bridge course can't convert a BDS into MBBS degree. It needs a long time to complete a specialised degree and in medical field, it is the longest in terms of duration.

Hence, the idea you have mentioned seems a bit impossible. If such thing happens, then people will study BDS and start converting them into MBBS, which will make MBBS degree obsolete.

There is proposal of such bridge course that will help dental graduates to get MBBS degree. Students after completion of BDS can enroll for this bridge course.

But this is still a proposal and has not come into existence. You need to visit official website of DCI at regular interval for latest updates.

It is still a proposal by Dental Council of India to provide a bridge course that will help BDS candidates to obtain MBBS degree.

This is not implemented at present and expected to be in existence in coming future.

Is it possible after completion of bridge course to write entrance exam of P. G. Neet to get M. S. Degree?
