Admission to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program at this college requires passing the NEET and UPCAT exams. Applicants must have completed their 10+2 education with at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English, with a minimum of 40% for reserved categories, and be at least 17 years old by the end of the joining year. The admission is merit-based, with counseling conducted by the DGME post-NEET results.
The application process is flexible, offering both online and offline options, with guidance available from the admission office. For the Master of Dental Surgery (MDS), candidates need a BDS degree from a recognized university. The faculty is highly qualified, particularly in BDS and MDS, offering strong academic support. Teaching methods focus on memory retention and practical knowledge, fostering positive faculty-student interactions, though encouragement could be enhanced. The BDS fee is about Rs 11.2 lakhs over four years, including a one-year internship, with annual tuition of Rs 2.8 lakhs and hostel fees around Rs 1 lakh per year.
The fees may vary with the curriculum and selected courses, and no scholarships or loans are offered. The college has a strong placement record, with 70-80% of students securing positions through internships, though campus placements are lacking. Students often find roles in hospitals, clinics, or self-employment post-internship. Alumni frequently return as educators, with ample opportunities in the medical field. Despite the high placement rate, it is deemed average due to the absence of campus placements.
Fees are payable yearly, with additional costs for seminars and conferences, but no stipend is offered during internships.
