If you are good in biology and have interest then you can give try for both.
As far bds is concerned, you need to give NEET UG exam after your 12th std.

I recommend finding a veterinarian that would let you work, volunteer, or observe what they do on a day to day basis.

warren’s Answer

in the usa you have to go to 4 years of university. then 4 years of veterinary school. medical school the same. after 4 yrs med school you need to do a residency of 3-6 years in a specialty. dental school (DDS) in u.s also 4 yrs after university. its a long haul

Shannon’s Answer

I understand some of what's been written here but not all of it, and I've spent 30 years working in health care. The reason why it's confusing for you and me, Ted, is that different countries talk about high school & college differently. in the US we call our education from age 14 up to age 18 "high school", 4 years after that is 'college' or 'undergrad'. Getting your bachelor's degree - graduating - at this is where most people stop going to school. the next 2-4 years are 'graduate school" (where a person gets their Masters degree) and then ''post-graduate school''. Medical doctors aren't the only people with the title "Dr''. a lawyer has degrees as big as an MD (doctor of medicine or DVM doctor of veterinary medicine) that's called a Juris Doctor (doctor of law). Many of these words came from Greece, a society that highly valued the pursuit of knowledge. There are doctorate degrees in many other subjects like education (EdD) and philosophy (PhD). but not engineering, if you didn't watch BBT (haha). some people even do fellowships, clerkships or other kinds of advanced study after getting their doctorate. In the US there is no BVM. you can major in animal biology in college and get a bachelors degree, that's how we call that step. it's a direct and straight step where you learn the simpler concepts in veterinary medicine and go deeper into them every year. on the other hand college is also where we experiment with poorly understood subjects just because we find them interesting. you can take whatever you want, say art, in undergrad (college), get that Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and then go on to an unrelated advanced degree like DVM and be a full-fleged veterinarian. so what do you do next Ted? find a person who has the job you want. ask that person how they got there. repeat as many times as possible with different people. don't forget that you can learn at least as much from the animals' cage cleaner as you can from the veterinarian! hold all that advice with gratitude & humility. use it to formulate a plan, tailored just for you, to get where you want to go. consider other advice & life experiences as you continue to mold your path.
