In government colleges, the cost of a BDS programme can reach Rs. 6 lacs, whereas the cost of a BPT course at private medical schools ranges from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 6 lacs. 3. Career Pathway: A BDS can be used to become a prosthodontist, dental hygienist, or dentist. With a BPT degree, you can work as a physiotherapist in hospitals, as a sports physiotherapist, as a fitness instructor, etc. 4. Pay: With a BDS degree, you could earn a yearly salary of about Rs. 4.5 lacs. While a BPT degree can earn you an annual salary of approximately Rs. 2.25 Lacs. There are some professions that can pay up to Rs. 4 Lacs, like sports physiotherapy.
