Reverting from the changes that were made last year about the Internship for BDS students, the Dental Council of India has again re-introduced the Internship for students from the batch of 2008-09. The changes were made for the batch 2007-08 earlier, and they have a 5+0 year course, but from the batch of 2008-09, the normal plan of 4+1 would be applied, so the 3rd students who would pass out from the exams of 2011, would be having only 1 year of education course, followed by 1 year paid Internship.
The decision on the semester or year course for the initial batch which would enter the 4th year now, is pending and the students are assuming that the 4th year course could have 8 subjects, which includes Oral Medicine & Radiology, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Pedodontics, Periodontics, Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics, Orthodontics, Prosthodontics and Community Dentistry. If this happens, it would be a burden for students to go through the 8 subjects at a go, in a single year, having no carrying on of subjects, this being the final year.
That being the case, the only batch which has seen the changes effective on them last year is the 2007-08 batch, which would be having 4 subjects each in the 4th and 5th year, and they would be passing out with no Internship in the course.
Here is the official notice seen on the DCI Website (which was removed this morning):
“BREAKING NEWS – Curriculum Reforms in Revised BDS Course Regulations, 2007 – Approval of the Govt. of India, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare –
All the concerned authorities are hereby informed that on the recommendations of the Dental Council of India, the Govt. of India, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare vide its letter No. V.12012/3/2006-DE dated 24.08.2011 have conveyed its approval on DCI Revised BDS Course (3rd Amendment) Regulations, 2011 to re-introduce the 4+1 year rotational compulsory paid internship in BDS Course w.e.f. the academic year 2011-12 i.e. from the batches admitted during the year 2008-09.

The said notification shall be placed in the DCI website also.
Secretary, Dental Council of India”
The Internship according to the new rules, is going to be a paid Internship for the span of 1 year. We would update the students whether the next 2 years for 2008-09 batch would have a single curriculum year, or semester wise courses, once DCI updates the circular.
I am a student of dentistry and was admitted in the year 2008…It is amazing dat the DCI has yet re-introduced the 4+1 course from our batch onwards…As per ma knowledge,i guess it is a good decision because internship is a must to expose ourselves before we actually work in our own personal clinics…
Thankyou so much with such a good decision…
On behalf of our college MN DAV DENTAL COLLEGE Solan (H.P)
thank you for the reintroduced course of 4+1 for 2008 n 09 batch…
without internship our degree ws incomplete…
what about internship for 2007-2008 batch?the only batch without internship
Sir..,dis 4+1 has put al f us in a fix…v dnt kno wether to get happy or time cautioned…clearing 7 subjects wz already looked upon wid so much f suspicsion nd now icing on cake 8 subject without semester..its hard 2 take dis down the throat
@Ankita Sharma, Yes Ankita, Internship can be utilized by the Interns to get the best experience in the field before they actually get into real practice by themselves, or before they enter the post graduation.
@atoofa zargar, We are happy too, for all the batches from 2008-09, for the Internship being re-introduced.
@susmita avvaru, Yes that is the only batch which would be unlucky, and they got no internship but that is not a disadvantage. Because this batch would be having less burden during the exams, having just 4 subjects in the 4th and 5th years to finish their course.
@Isha, Isha, it isn’t hard if you focus on the best of it, and try to think that its just 1 year of total struggle which would give you a good time next year enjoying the departments as an Intern. We had come out with 7 subjects, passed out, so its only 1 extra subject for you people i.e. Community Dentistry which doesn’t require any genius knowledge.
is intrnship not compulsory for pg examinations.if so we will not be eligible
@susmita avvaru, Internship is not a compulsion, if the rules and regulations by the DCI said that the course is only for 5 years without internship. You get the certificate if you pass out the 5 years course without any backlogs.
Thanks to dental council of india..
students are in favor of semesterwise examintion..
So as to reduce burden..
Again thanks…(VRRAJJ)
@Dr. Chetan, we can clear 4 subjects in 6 months …aleast 6months internship…..how come this is fair…why we have 2 suffer…..
dci is experimenting on our batch…we are not labrats.we want justice.we will be lacking workexperience without internship.we need internship for atleast 6 months…
dci is experimenting on our batch…we are not labrats.we want justice.we need internship for atleast 6 months…
@bharath, it was a rule applied from the 2007 batch, Bharath, that is why the rule cannot be changed when your 4th year is already done with 4 subjects. The rule application altogether for all around the country for just 1 year is not that easy.
We r thankful to dci for making this priceless decision….as the internship is a vital part of such a gr8 profession in which v have to deal with human life…studyng all 5 year widout intrnshp dsnt make any sense bt this 4+1 is a gud decision….all dental students r in favour of this decision….thnx again…dentistry rockzzz \m/
Sir
i want 2 know this 4 1 pattern is for the batch who is in 4th year or not?someone here wrote that internship is not for the 2007-08 batch.but in my college 2007-08 batch is doin internship.i’m in 2008-09 batch and and we already finished 1 posting of each subject for 4th and 5th year and we haven’t done any extraction yet.so if it will be again 4 1 then how we will be able 2 finish the required number or cases
I went through the new gazette…according to it..for the students from 08-09,09-10 batches..it is upto the university to decide whthr they want to implmnt the internshp or not..no private university would implement it for these two batches as it would be a loss for them…
but the gazette says it depends upon the respective universities wthr they wanna introduce it for 08-09 and 09-10 batch or not..no private university would like to do dat..it would be a loss for thm then..
I agree with u Vaibhav.
I dont understand why is the decision reverted within 2 days. We were so happy with the DCI’s earlier decision of making it 4+1. But now with the new clause added off the decision lying in the hands of college, no private college will be ready to give an intern.
Its indeed a wrong decision .
4+1 is the rule for new admissions, that simply means that DCI also knows the importance of Internship to BDS courses.
Why should we be the sufferers.
@Sonal, true ..which college are you from..and wats the development dre?
Hi, i am a foreign student doing dentistry in India.regarding this new amendments, do i still have to pay for the 5th year tuition fees?
Sir,
I am in 07 bach,till Now We hadn’t Our Forth year exam.Our university had decided to have this exam on 15 Sep. But Now it is remor that that may canceled.And they are deciding to conduct Our all 8 papers at a time in last week of Jan. And provide us the opportunity of internship.If this will happen then is there any problem? I had also heard that internship is necessary for government job.
SIR Plz help me….
Its a good decision.
I am frm kerala..(2008 batch student..)we are al hpy abt d reintroduction of internship..but,our university is very slow in taking proper actions,,til nw ,der is no news abt dis in university website,…
what the hell is going on here?? wat is the problem of DCI?? when the 3rd ammendment was introduced for 2007 batch onwards,,,why have the 2008 onwards batches been spared? It only means one thing that our fault is only that we took admission in 2007 academic year? this is totally insane. If DCI cud take d decision for a 4+1 course for 2008 batch,,,y cant it take a decision for 2007 batch? why has the decision been left for d universities to decide? Does DCI take the responsibility of giving us jobs and making us eligible for evry entrance exam in India n abroad? our future is being played with…
i am a 2009-2010 batch bds student.I joined for total package of 10lakh that means 2lakh per year.I want to know wheather i have to pay whole fees?Is there any circular by DCI that college have to spread the total package amount with in 4yr?
Sir
certainly it is good news for students.They are supposed to work hard for one year and enjoy next year.
Please clarify:Whether fees for the 5th year may be charged by the College as DCI has not given any instruction in this regard.
Some colleges have issued circular to deposit 5th year fees lates by 31-12-2011 to implement the scheme.
Is it Legal and justified.
@athira,
this is india and everything is possible if you are able grese the government officials.
Certainly private colleges have spent sufficient money to save their 5th year fees recovery resulting to addition in circular just after 2 days giving power to colleges for implementation in earlier batch.
In my opinion,u will be forced to pay to opt the benefits of this circular.
sir…………..thanks a lot. it’s a great news………we all welcom this deciision
sir…..i hav a question….,can any university decide not to undergo this change and continue…the old 5 yr course………

Sir,
My daughter Abhilasha Patidar s student of BDS at Manipal Collage of Dental Sciences Mangalore . She has taken admission in year 2011-2012 for five year BDS course & now she is in first year.
As now BDS course is of 4 year + 1 year internship collage is demanding fifth year fees also in installment from first year to fourth year . For RS. 7850 per year total 7850*4 = 314000 Rs
Please clear us is it as per rules of government & what we have to do now because it is big amount demanded by collage.
Scan copy of latter of Manipal Collage of Dental Sciences Mangalore for demanding payment of first installment additional fees is attached .

Respected sir,im 2007-08 batch bds student from andhra pradesh.DCI changed our regulations from 5years without internship from5th year as a semister providing with 6months internship.as per the regulations of dci, after completing our 5th year exams in april 2012,we started postings in college for a period of 6 months in internship and completed our internship from may 14 2012 to nov 9 2012.now my problem is most of the institutions and govt.hospitals/authorities are asking for the proof of eligibility of 6months internship.they dont know about our batch circumstances and asking for 1 year complete rotatory internship.so sir,if you have…. will you please send a copy of that official note of DCI declaring the eligibility of 6 months internship for 2007-08 batch to my mail id.please sir
Its all sham and scam in india the sorry state is that some illetrate dhotiwala or pagdiwala or lungi wala decides the duration and syllabus of the course.mci is busy bootlicking their political bosses cause they are drowning in corruption in india after completing. Mbbs u need not answer mci exam does not matter if arts teachers are teachin u mbbs but if u do it fron 100 yrs old institues abroad uwhich has all the facilities u woul be harrased with mci exam the same paper if given to so called mbbs docs from india hardly 10 percent can qualify this is to protect the dubious colleges. As they are greasing the palms of mci god bless the country and. The people running it
