One can join army as BDS or MDS …
There is usually one common exam for selection . One written & One SSB Interview .
In Instances MDS candidates go directly for the interview . There is always cut off marks . That is used to decide candidates for interview .
The article above and few more articles in the website gives you the basic info on this . Just keep a tack about the openings by subscribing to the Employment News Papers .

Yes recently some of the docs in Punjab who had 6 months internship … got approval letter from DCI after filling a case . The approval letter stated that the students were eligible for all the courses after the completion of 6 months of internship .
Good day sir, I am a licensed dentist from the philippines and also in the armed forces. Is it possible for somebody like me to apply and be qualified in your countries respectable Army Dental Corps?
No doc not possible . You need to be a citizen of India to join Indian Army Dental Corps
Dr Deb as mentioned above, we must present with our BDS degree at the time of interview but sir in our university usually degrees are given after around 1 year..
what should one do in such a case..
can provisional degree issued by the university hold good for this ?
Yes provisional degree can be provided . But the system varies for University to University . U have to be clear about the rules of ur university . None the less there will be system in place for this problem . Please enquire from the correct authorities of your University .
when recruitment for bds in indian army is going to happen next for 2012
Will be posted as soon as it comes … U keep a track of the All leading News Papers & The Army Website
the form for dental corp is out…wat is marticulation certificate and…is it possible if someone is studyin m.d.s can apply on b.d.s basis
hello sir.
I just want to know about the final year marks i should be having to clear the cutoff..i mean where can i find that above what % candidates where called for interview..(for bds students)..not asking about the 55% eligibility criteria
Cut Off Goes High … I have heard it goes up to 65% minimum … Also the repeat attempts also count …
sir,i’ve been a good student(securing more than 60% in the first three years of BDS) .I had heard about ADC long time ago and ever since,i yearned to enter this respectable job $ i knew how imp. it is to secure good marks in final year.My final year exams were this year in october-nov. month.Sady,my father expired on 15th november. i had to miss one theory paper because of that.Rest all the exams i had given barring one on 17th nov. Do u think i might be rejected because of this?(as i’ll be marked ‘absent’ in that subject and will appear for suppl. by march ’13).pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease teel me sir
I understand the situation doc .
When u apply for ADC , repeat attempts are taken in to notice along with the final marks of the aggregates in BDS final year . So hopefully U have scored well in all the rest papers & try to do ur best in the supplement exam . Apply when the time comes for ADC . Don’t worry forms are not rejected . All depends on the types and marks of the other candidates who have applied … that will decide the cut off …
