Course Curriculum Overview
When I was in first-second year i literally had no interest in BDS.But when I came in 3rd year tables turned.Once you get clinical exposure ,u are gonna like the course.

Hostel Facilities
Now a days hostel rent is about 1.5 lacs.Rooms are good with attached washrooms.A three time meal+snacks are provided by the mess but the quality of food is average.Laundry facilities are also provided by the hostel and together laundry and mess charges will cost you around 60-70k per annum.But there's a relaxation in college policy, u can opt for a room outside.Hostels are not mandatory.
