MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) is a degree program focused on general medicine and clinical practice, preparing students to become doctors who diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions. BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), on the other hand, is a professional degree focused specifically on dental science and oral healthcare. BDS graduates become dentists who specialize in treating dental and oral health issues. Both programs require NEET UG qualification for admission in India.
