BDS REGULATIONS GENERAL OBJECTIVES The curriculum for the BDS course is designed to produce a dentist who is socially acceptable and who is able to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and oral diseases both in rural and urban areas. The emphasis should be placed on fundamental aspects of the subjects, taught and common problems of health and diseases avoiding greater details and areas of specification. The education process should be an evolving one and not merely a process of acquisition of a large number of disjointed facts without a proper perspective. There should be less emphasis on didactic lectures and major part of the learning time should be devoted to demonstrations, group discussions, seminars, clinical work and conferences stressing more on prevention of oral diseases instead of traditional teaching on curative aspects. Every attempt should be made to encourage the students to participate in group discussions and seminars to enable them to develop expression, character and personality and other qualities essential for a dental graduate to serve the community and nation effectively.

A number of examination stations with specific instructions shall be provided.
