Course Curriculum Overview
Aspects of the curriculum which influenced me to opt for dentistry as my career choice is the less knowledge the public has about your oral cavity hygiene. I would like to spread awareness on the importance of oral hygiene and set up a clinic after i finish with my course to treat my patients. We have subjects like personality development in first year which helps us to understand the importance of good communication with patients and how it brings light to our career in the future. We also study about constitution in second year which helps in prioritizing ourselves as individuals of the country who needs justice in case of medico-legal cases. It tells us on how to work with your patient and connect to them in a better manner. In our college, internal assessments are conducted within every 3 months. We have 3 IAs. Minimum eligibility marks in the internal assessments and 75% attendance is required for appearing for the university examinations.
