I want to become a Dentist. What course I should opt after my Class 10?
I am a 13 year old girl, living with an ambition to become a Dentist. I found that most of the people suffer with Dental problems, due to which they were unable to focus or concentrate on their work. So I just want to treat them.

Hi Amena,
You would need to opt for Bi.P.C. in your intermediate to become a Doctor. Once you finish your intermediate, you need to prepare and write your EAMCET exam and score a good rank.
Based on your EAMCET rank, you can choose with the different options available in the Medical stream.
Please find the list of courses available if you opt for Bi.P.C in the below link:

For a professional course in dentistry, you have to pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, with at least 50% marks to be eligible for admission in the BDS program. This is basic requirement for opting for this career path.
Admission to this course is through a general, nationwide competitive examination. The All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Exam conducted by the CBSE is common for both the MBBS and the BDS. There are also private colleges that admit students on an all India basis or through their own entrances.
Best colleges to pursue this course are Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences Delhi, Govt Dental College and Hospital Mumbai, Nair Hospital Dental College (NHDC) Mumbai, Faculty of Dental Sciences, King George's Medical University Lucknow, SDM College of Dental Sciences Dharwad & Santosh Dental Colleges, Ghaziabad to name a few.
You can check out eligbility, admission and course details on website of these institutes. Hope this info helps. All the best!
