Hello, 

YES….u have scopes in BDS too..whether you do it from government college or private college..

The only advantage of government college is

1. Get paid in internship
2. more patients

• This doesn't mean private colleges have no scope…students in private colleges work for clinics after the college hrs during their internship..yeah but are paid less
• After doing just BDS scope is low…u can get a job but the earning will be less around 15 to 20k
• So the next thing you can do after BDS is MDS…this have better scope and a bit better pay also
• And the best thing is do MDS from other countries because BDS scope is less in India but some countries like like Canada,Australia etc…pays you really high….
• You can also try in government hospitals and even private hospitals because generally almost in all hospitals a dentist is required
• Can work in dental hospital as lecture and can run your clinic too.
• You can enter into army or airforce as dentist
• Can use your degree as a UG degree and prepare for civil services also…(like UPSC).
• Scopes are there in all departments if you work hard with dedication…and in dentistry you can rock if you have good knowledge and skills…
• Pay is less…but their are dentists earning in lakhs per months also…
• So..I would say if you are really interested in doing BDS there is no harm in taking it from private college……

And yes, there are great job opportunities for that, even private colleges provides good placements. 

I hope this would help you. For further queries please feel free to write me down in the comment box.
