A college with good faculty and facilities to learn BDS.

Placements: The admission to the college is done on the basis of NEET conducted by NTA. After quota for MBBS most of the students opt for BDS and the college is currently the 2nd most preferred dental college. Campus placements are not available. After course of 4.5 years internship is done for a year with a stipend of nearly 25000 rupees.

Infrastructure: The college lacks an academic block but the construction is under progress. Currently the college has sufficient clinics and pre-clinical labs for each department. A library with all necessary books is also present. A canteen is run by the workers' association which has special considerations for students and staffs. In terms of sports, it is very much active in the college with participation in all types of games and atheltics. The college donot have a Ladies hostel which is a thing to be considered seriously.

Faculty: The College had the top most rank among the dental colleges in the state in NIRF ranking. The teachers are very well qualified and have years of experience in their respective departments. The course follows the syllabus and curriculum of the Kerala University of Health and Sciences. Exams are conducted yearly whose difficult can be rated as 8 from a scale of 1 to 10. A sessional exam is conducted every 3 month which prepare the students for the final university exam. The college has an average pass percentage of 70.

Other: I chose this course because it was second in line after MBBS which could be alloted to me based on my marks. But the regret I had initially is now very low. The course is tiresome at times but the opportunities and work life is pretty much better. Clinical duties start in the third year itself which is very much helpful to improve the skills and patient interaction by the time a student pass out of the college. The college has other cultural events and fests too. Every year an interdental fest is conducted in any one of the government dental colleges in the state to display their artistical talents. The students in the college have a very good mind of unity which is also to be mentioned.
