ITS DENTAL COLLEGE: Better than many government colleges

Despite being a private college, ITS dental college follows the same academic calender and curriculum that a government college follows. This is because ITS dental college comes under the affiliation of a government owned state university, Atal Bihari Vajpayee medical university in Lucknow. There are three different kinds of examinations. The first term exams are in December with 35% syllabus. The second term exams are in March with 70% syllabus and the final professional examinations are in July with 100% syllabus.

Hospitals like Max, Apollo, Fortis and Clove Dental Clinic provide direct placements from campus. The students can intern at the attatched Surya Hospital at ITS dental college. During internship the students are given a stipend amount for the patient work they do. To fulfill the working hours and clinical experience necessary for any foreign exam like USMLE, PLAB and ORE, the college gives the students a minimum QUOTA of the patients they are supposed to treat in a month.

Dentistry is not a semester based placement programme. After BDS, students can be employed in the private dental clinic of ITS itself, or they can secure jobs from big hospital names like Fortis, Clove Dental Clinics, Max and Apollo. • The average package of students per month has been 3 lakh rupees. My plans after the degree are to get a campus placement, and practise for some time. During this time i would be earning good money and focusing on my NEET MDS preparation at the same time.

The faculty is amazing. Every professor is passed out or ex faculty of prestigious institutes like MAMC and KGMU.

He is the HOD of Oral Pathology Department. The dean of UG students, Dr. Piyush Kumar, who is also the head of Orthodontics is also a great professor. He helps students in such a way, that they always feel at home and at ease. He helps the students academically and professionally. There are 3 different kinds of exams.
