Hello aspirant,

In government dental colleges, the bond amount is typically 5 lakhs if you leave the BDS course midway without finishing it; however, this can vary from state to state. In private dental colleges, you will be required to pay the full cost for the duration of the BDS degree.

Thank you

Hello,

Yes, service bonds after completing a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) in India depend on the state and institution. Here are the key points:

1. Government Colleges: Many states have a mandatory service bond for BDS graduates from government dental colleges, requiring them to work in rural or public health centers for a fixed period.
2. Private Colleges: Most private colleges do not impose service bonds.
3. Bond Duration & Penalty: The service period ranges from 1 to 5 years, with penalties from Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 50 lakh for non-compliance.
4. State-Specific Rules: Each state has different policies. Always check official notifications.
