Faculty friendliness superb, Student-friendly college, Poor inflow of patients.
Placements: This is a professional course wherein students after completion of graduation opt for post-graduation mostly. A few students opt for a drop year wherein they prepare for the master's degree entrance exam or they opt for going abroad for higher education. Quite a few students opt for abroad education from this institution because with the quality of teaching you receive you can easily clear off the theory papers. Most students who appear for the master's degree entrance exam qualify for it and a handful of them start practicing dentistry.
Infrastructure: As it is known to everyone, MCODS Bangalore has the best of equipments and infrastructure for its students. Starting from digital X-ray machine to CBCT scan to microscope for Root canal treatment to CAD-CAM machine to keep up with the pace of the world. The library facility is amazing with super-fast internet provided by the college itself. It's large and spacious and centralized air conditioning. It has different sections for undergraduate students, postgraduate students and staff. Ample number of books are available. Hostel has all the variety of rooms from AC rooms to non AC rooms to shared rooms with common bathrooms. Food was manageable and in case you don't like food you always have Zomato Swiggy Uber eats to satisfy your hunger. The number of inter batch games are organized and also interdepartmental matches have been played by students. Marena, a sports complex at just 100 meters from boys hostel is a good place to play or gym or even have outdoor sports. Adding a feature recently was the availability of recorded lectures in case you have missed them or want to reattend the lecture.
Faculty: The best thing which I loved about the college was a student willing to learn can approach any teacher at any point of time. Be it solving doubts regarding class or discussing question paper or anything. Teachers are available 24x7. The course curriculum is based on the ground rules set by the dental council of India and is pretty good. Students are encouraged for doing more research. As our college believes innovation should be always encouraged. The bad thing is the lack of many patients. The college has a low inflow of patients.
Other: MCODS has an annual event called as dental week in which various co-curricular activities are organized for one week and then immediately within a month we have the intra University fest for almost 5 days. Other than that students also participate in various inter-college competition in the city. The city is well connected by roads, rail, and air. It's very student-friendly campus.

A great institute to begin your journey in dentistry.

However, the patient inflow is pretty average as well. There is a 4-storeyed health science library, and it is open to all students. The Wi-Fi routers are present almost everywhere, and it is provided for free to every student. A wide array of hostels are available. A well-equipped gym is available at a minimal fee.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college are very approachable and experienced. They adhere well to DCI curriculum and beyond. Attention is given to every individual student while practising in clinics. Continuous education programs with visiting speakers are often conducted. Lectures are recorded and are available for viewing through an online portal.
Other: The campus is great, and it has a lively atmosphere. The campus is surrounded by beautiful beaches and hill stations. The food served is great. The campus connectivity with Bangalore, Goa, Gokarna, Mumbai, Chennai and Kerala is good.
