The rules and regulations are really good

Placements: Regarding placements, the college offers a mandatory internship in the college hospital with a stipend. The students learn the basics through hands-on experience so they can easily get jobs in different hospitals after their BDS. Many students choose to work in the college hospital itself while pursuing their PG.

Infrastructure: The facilities at our college are fabulous. From the hostel to the mess, everything is well-maintained, and as it is an army institution, there are proper rules and regulations for everything. The food here tastes great, and the classrooms are well-equipped with ACs. There are also many sports to play and events to attend.

Faculty: Faculty members are great, they are well-educated and have industry experience. They have the best way to teach, but the only flaw is that some professors are sometimes biased towards Telugu students since they share the same language. Other than that, there are no complaints about the college. The semester exams are regularly conducted.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to be a doctor.

The campus is good and provides good facilities.

Placements: Around 40 students are admitted in one batch. This number is the reason that professors can give personal attention to every individual's performance. This college offers a variety of placements options, students in ACDS get an upper hand during the interview process of the Army Dental corps. Even private companies like Clove come to campus for placements. Getting into the Army Dental corps makes students 80,000 in a month plus the added facilities for defense personnel. All the students are meant to do internships in the Army College of Dental Sciences only, here the patient load is excellent. It gives students a lesson to handle patients clinically significantly.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the entire college is green. The classrooms have smart boards and are well ventilated. The library and hostels have Wi-Fi connections which make working easier. There are two hostels, separate for girls and boys. Every student has a personal single room. Every floor has two washrooms on each side of the block, one washroom consisting of 4 washrooms. The mess has a variety of food options for all three meals including the evening snack. There are various sports played on campus including cricket, basketball, football, volleyball, etc. The grounds are separate for each game. There is also a well-equipped gym facility. It has a canteen which serves almost every food item, the chicken 65 being the famous one. Besides this, the online food delivery option is also easy like Swiggy and Zomato.

Faculty: All the teaching faculty members are well qualified in their subjects. The quality of teaching is the best in ACDS. The curriculum includes the Preclinical work for 1st and 2nd-year students and clinical work for other batches, which makes them industry ready. The postings in the department are for a good amount of time so that the student can learn as much as they can and observe the work in that particular department. Semesters are good in this college if the students keep up with the course. There are three internal examinations and one final university examination that occurs in this college. The passing percentage for the batch 2021 is 100%, for our seniors out of 40 students 22 of them get distinctions.

Other: Annual events like cultural and Denta fests are held on the campus. Besides all this, all festivals are celebrated on the campus.

This college is value for money.

Placements: Recruiting is average, and few students get placed in the Army on the basis of NEET rank, and some go abroad or start their private practice. Some continue post-graduation from this college. Students do not get placed directly from college however it is great for networking for students.

Infrastructure: The hostel is great and provides single rooms for each student. Mess food is average. The campus has lots of greenery and is clean and well kept with basketball, volleyball courts, and cricket grounds. There is also a gym facility available along with an ambulance for medical emergencies.

Faculty: Professors are average at teaching however, students are bright. Exam results are great with a very high pass percentage. Facilities required in a dental college are there. Most importantly there is a large influx of patients daily so, students get good exposure to all types of cases.

Other: Location is far from the main city, commuting is hard if students do not live in the hostel even to relax, one has to plan. The crowd is mixed from all over India so one has to adjust. All major festivals are celebrated, and the batch consists of only 40 students so rules are followed strictly.

I am very impressed because of teachers, decent placements and great infrastructure provided.

Placements: I did not pass out, and I am still pursuing the course. However, I have seen from our seniors batch that most of them qualified in the NEET PG exam and got admission in amazing colleges. Moreover, they all searched for job opportunities and also found them. Many students join in the army also.

Infrastructure: We are provided with the amazing hostel and mess facility, and even they are available at a very reasonable fee. Hostels have single sharing rooms, and there are a gym and other great infrastructural facilities also. There are well-furnished library facility and great laboratories.

Faculty: The course curriculum is very relevant. Staff members in our college are highly qualified and very experienced also. They put more efforts to improve their teaching quality, and I am really impressed by the faculty members. Students will be passed out from our college with excellence in university exams also.

Other: I have chosen this course because I could not make it to a dental course. However, I never regretted to choose this college. Our college organises fests and extracurricular activities. It provides great scholarship schemes also.

College is satisfying and have good infrastructure and good teaching staff.

Placements: Students get there degree, there is no any placement offered by college. Top roles are like endodontics, maxillofacial surgery, pedodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics is preferable in this course. Students mostly pursue MS after BDS or some also open their own clinic.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is present in library only, library is big and have many magazines, journals and many dentistry related books. You can borrow book for some days free of cost and there is much space for students. Infrastructure of hostels are well maintained, bathrooms are clean and regular cleaning happens.

Faculty: Teaching staffs are well knowledge. Patients flow is also good and best thing is the number of students are low so everyone can get full attention. After BDS you can learn some basic dentistry but to become a good doctor you have to do MS Competition in this course is very much.

Other: After pursuing this course you will become a decent doctor and can earn a decent amount also. Events are held every year in this college.
