STATE GOVERNMENT JOBS TO JOIN AS DENTIST IN YOUR NATIVE STATE

All state governments have state openings for dental graduates. The openings are published every year depending on availability. Any dental graduate who qualifies for the post is posted in Government health centers and government colleges. So it’s up to you to keep a track when the openings are published in the papers.

JOINING INDIAN RAILWAY AS DENTIST

2. Some time the appointments are part-time and after the fixed period it gets promoted to permanent slots. As far as I know, there is a Part-time Dental Surgeon job in Indian Railways. Part-Time Dental Surgeons are hired on a 1-year contract basis by the Indian Railways.
3. This contract can be extended 2 additional years. Therefore with a BDS degree, you can certainly apply for this part-time job in Indian Railways. The exact number of vacancies are not mentioned. However what I know is that different zones like Central, Southern, Western, Eastern, etc. The postings will be in the Railway Hospitals.
4. For example in the western railway, the job is given at Railway Main Hospital in Dahod, Gujarat. Unfortunately, there are very few government jobs opening for Dentists. It is kind of shocking considering that every second Indian is suffering from dental problems.
