Sathyabama Dental College- A review from an insider

The course i chose is Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) I chose this degree as i wanted to pursue in medical field and be a part of the medical society and profession. Any amount of curriculum will not suffice the experience needed to face the real world as each and every patient is different. Areas of improvement would be inculcating modern usage and technology in the field and hands-on experience

Sathyabama Dental had multiple achievers visiting the college as Alumnis explaining the domains they are working on. Apollo Dental visited the college for job offers for Internship Students. The college does not provide any stipend for the Dental Students

The year wise fees is 4,50,000 which is including the lab fees, bus and mess fees. They provide books and materials only for 1st Year and the future expenses are bared by the students. Some of the students pay 4,00,000 through the mode of admission they participated.

Annually culturals are held where trending and hotspot creators and celebrities are invited. The cultural festival gathers a lot of attention from outsiders and Freshers Day is also held during June. Sathyabama conducts Technical Events and many events throughout the year. Dental books are available in the library. Projectors are used to display slides with AC classrooms.

I went through All India Counselling for Dental Colleges and had an option to select 3 colleges. I chose Sathyabama Dental, Bhalaji Dental College and Amritha Institute of Dental Sciences. My first preference was Sathyabama as it was near my home and commute would be easy. I was able to receive the admission in the first round. I didn't go through any rejection as this college was my first choice. The eligibility is to pass NEET examination with the basic pass mark to join this college. Overall experience was easy for me

On average 60-90 students are present per year, covid batch took a hit as admissions became low. The faculties are approachable and kind to clear doubts, they are always ready to help and motivate the students in both academic and extracurricular activities. Around 5-10 people of average fail due to lack of attendance or failing to reach the minimum pass mark

Gym is present in the Hostel and Canteen is located in 2 areas. The campus timing is from 9am to 3pm. Students usually hangout in the canteen areas buying snacks and lunch during break hours. Im not aware of the night life as i am a day scholar
