    After campaigning relentlessly for almost four years, dental students tasted victory with the health ministry and the Dental Council of India conceding to their demand of keeping the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) a four-year course. The decision means the students can do their one-year internship after the completion of the fouryear course.

     

    The DCI informed colleges about this development a few days ago. !n 2007, the then DCI management increased the duration of the course to five years. It also scrapped the internship programme. Recently, students made a representation before the DCI president, Dr Dibyendu Mazumder, and told him that the new course structure deprived them of a chance to get practical experience. Students who met the DCI president said he had an open mind and gave considerable weightage to their views.
