Life of a mediocre student at KSD Jain Dental College & Hospital

This is a professional course, and there is still demand. There are 9 departments in the college itself and each has 5-8 teachers. Medical subjects are taught by Medical College Kolkata and their respective departments. Majority of the faculty are post graduate and most are more or less adept at what they do. Final exams are conducted by the WBUHS, and they keep changing the timings of the sessions.

No externships that I am aware of. There is housestaffship but that is rare. College encourages students to work on research papers and participate in seminars in the college itself or outside. Patient flow is moderate considering this is a private dental college, but it is doable.

Scolarships are recognised and encouraged by the college. The course is quite costly as it is material intensive. Jobs are few and far between, all we have is a compulsory internship with meagre pay, which is still more compared to the rest of the private dental colleges in this state.

Ignium is name of the annual fest. The library has a wide variety of books. But since the faculty suggests only a few textbooks, they are in short supply. Amenities and facilities are good, toilets are clean, drinking water is abundant, environment inside the college is clean. College conducts sports.

Aspirants need to achieve sufficient rank in NEET UG along with the various requirements to get into a professional course such as this. NEET UG application form can be found at NTA website. College recognises the reservations imposed by the government, and fees are separate for state quota and management quota seats. The office staff is helpful but slightly clumsy and not punctual, so everything takes time.
