Admission:

I chose this college mainly because of its academic reputation and rankings . When comparing with the other colleges , this college offer a better clinical exposure opportunities. As dentistry is about skills , the more we practice the more experts we become and more skilled doctors we become . Also As A kerala native , Tamilnadu is our neighbouring state and also it is more secured state. My first priority was kerala but because of high competition and low number of seats I couldn't make it there . So my next option were this college and i got into here . The admission process is through NEET UG entrance exam , followed by counselling and document verification. Fortunately I secured admission here and I am satisfied with my choice .
