Fewer dentists will be added to the healthcare system in Tamil Nadu this year as almost 60% of BDS students have failed to clear the final year examinations held in August. The pass percentage last year was 70%.

The failed students will now have to take re-exams in February, 2013. Of the 945 students who wrote the examination, 396 passed. The large number of students failing is attributed to changes in the exam and evaluation policies. Two years ago, students used to get as much as 49 marks as grace. In the last two years, not more than five grace marks were awarded. Some 60 dental students benefited from the grace marks this year.
