About

Babu Banarasi Das College of Dental Sciences (BBDCODS), located in Lucknow, is a well-known private institution for dental education in Uttar Pradesh. As a constituent college of Babu Banarasi Das University, it benefits from the university's NAAC 'A' grade accreditation. The college is fully recognized by the Dental Council of India (DCI), which is a critical checkpoint for any aspiring dentist. The institution primarily offers the five-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program and a Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in various specializations. For students targeting the 2025 admissions, entry into the flagship BDS course is strictly based on the NEET-UG score, with seat allocation managed through state and national counselling. The annual tuition fee for the BDS program for the upcoming 2025-26 academic session is expected to be approximately ₹3.75 lakhs, excluding other charges like hostel and miscellaneous fees. Regarding career outcomes for batches graduating around 2025 and 2026, the path in dentistry is quite structured. After completing the four-year academic term, all BDS students undergo a mandatory one-year paid rotatory internship, which provides crucial hands-on clinical experience. Following the internship, graduates often pursue higher studies by preparing for NEET-MDS, join private dental clinics and hospitals, or venture into establishing their own private practice. The college provides a strong academic foundation for these diverse career trajectories.
