Step 4 – ORE Part 1 Continued
The exam is conducted in the UK, so there are 2 possible ways of appearing in this exam
- First is by getting a tourist visa and give ORE part-1 and for Part-2, there is another visa which UKBA issue for students appearing in ORE or PLAB (for medical students).
- You can also migrate to the UK by joining a full-time masters program, either clinical or non-clinical.
Most of the students follow the second step as you can get master’s degree along with preparation and also in the UK there are few groups started for the overseas dentist to prepare for ORE.
- Undergraduate dental students can join any full-time masters course by applying online to universities or by meeting their country representatives personally, as most of the universities send their counselors to take interviews and give admission offer.
- You can get information about the interview from British council, New Delhi or from consultants dealing with abroad studies.
- The best source is British council as most of the consultants are not trustworthy.
- Also be very careful of the 3rd party claiming to provide you a quicker method to clear the formalities. You are warned, such claims are utterly false and don’t pay such claims any money.
