After completing 5 years of BDS, new graduates are often offered 10000/- or less in some clinics, while front desk receptionists at the same hospitals may earn the same or more. Why is this the case? Who is to blame? What are your thoughts on the situation, and what can be done about it? Should graduates just accept these offers for experience?

This is the scenario of almost all of the allied and healthcare sectors and that’s so unfortunate.
I don’t know why it is so?
Proper standardization is needed.
Also, accepting such offers will always lead to more degradation. We all have put all our hardwork on those 5 years and we should know our worth.
Sadly, this is the reality and if u end up taking a break to pursue for mds preps… your experience is invalidated as well..
the main reason is the saturation of dentists in India. especially in cities.
Yes, Ironically I had joined BDS as someone told me that dentists make a lot of money 
I guess that person meant outside India. There are so many BDS folks because they don’t get medical seat, they take up BDS just to get the degree.
sad to listen this , every field have same problem, giving lakhs and getting nothing is sad
That’s so true. But when I come across job postings like “Dental Assistant – ₹12,000” and “Dentist – ₹15,000”, it’s honestly heartbreaking.
