Course Curriculum Overview

3

College is overall okay and the staffs are somewhat helpful. Labs are clean. Tests are conducted regularly. Exams are of 3 hours. Question papers are of moderate level and include almost everything that the teaching staffs cover in class.

Internships Opportunities

3

We have our internship in our own college. But they do not pay any stipend to any student during internship which is very bad. They can at least pay 1000 per student. The internship is another year which is 4 + 1 year internship

Fees and Financial Aid

400000 per year tuition fees, 125000 per year hostel fees with ac room, 4500-5500 mess fees, 14000 exam fees per year I belong to OBC category We have to buy dental materials and machines every once in a while which costs us our own money

Campus Life

2.5

Infrastructure is okay. Mostly, for prostho and dental materials, we have to buy our own things and machines which often costs a lot of money from our own pocket. Sports and activities and celebrations occur often and are celebrated in a good way including students and teachers. Some classes don't have ac and have students over 80 in one classroom. Some projectors don't work. Some cameras don't work.

Hostel Facilities

2

Hostel has an elevator which is a plus point. The rooms are all double or triple sharing and are very small and pricey. They took fees for ac rooms but didn't provide ac and returned the money back for the ac. The food is not that good and the hostel manager is very rude and rowdy.

Admission

I was looking for an affordable BDS college in south India and Balaji Dental College was the most affordable. I put this college as my first option during my first round of counselling and happened to have scored the seat in the college in the first round.

Faculty

3

Minimum 2 staffs per department is available. Some faculties are really understanding and kind while some are rude and pass racist comments indirectly (I am from Arunachal Pradesh). Dr. Sumathy, Head of 1st year Anatomy Department is really kind and understanding and always helpful whenever we need them. Dr. Heema, from Oral Histology Department is also very kind and helpful and understanding Dr. Sathyapriya, from anatomy department 1st year , she targets students from north and northeast a lot. And she often makes fun of students names who are from northeast India. Dr. Mathangi, from 1st year Biochemistry Department, she makes assumptions and often passes rude comments towards students from north and northeast India.

Admission:

The college is a well known dental college in the country and not choosing it was not an option for me. The college is specialized in dental surgery and is assisted with necessary requirements to build a full-fledged expert in the field. Compulsory Rotatory Residential Internship (CRRI) which provides you enough exposure was the greatest advantage for me. To get admission to the college one should get at least 50% marks in PCB/Biotechcombined and also you need to secure place in the merit list which is based on NEET UG dental Scorecard.

The only draw back in the college is the bribe prevailing in the office administration. Student been compelled to bribe officials to get any certificates, scholarships etc. Apart from that everything seems to be fine.
