BDS - Bachelor of Dental Surgery - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

The bestest college ever .

Placements: Around 100 students were there in the batch. There was no such thing as placement as it is a field of medicine and not engineering. There won't be any recruitment. We didn't get internships in our own college and you will get a lot bad experiences here.

Infrastructure: Very good availability of staff and the materials used in dentistry, everything is provided by the college only. The library is open for all the days of the year except 2 days that too during some festivals. The availability of food and the hostel is very good. The food is so good that I am missing it even now.

Faculty: All the staff are qualified, they are very good and are ready to answer problems anytime. Course curriculum is very relevant. The exams are quite difficult and the pass percentage is 50%. The exams are conducted on an E-pad and not a regular pen and paper.

Other: I chose this course as I wanted to be a doctor and as I didn't get the seat for an MBBS. All the festivals are celebrated in the college.

It has a really good patient flow.

Placements: The college has a really good patient flow. We can learn almost all types of procedures in the BDS itself. They have 100 seats for the BDS course and almost 90% of students can pass in the first attempt. Job opportunities are also more since the college has made a name for itself.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is above average. There are too many rules to follow if we are staying in a hostel. Mess food is messed up, but comparatively, it is better. The library is big. It has Wi-Fi. The campus is quite big too. Mess, canteen, and juice center are situated within the campus, but I would say they all serve average food.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified and quite helpful. The course curriculum is very relevant and the patient exposure is top-notch. Exams are not that tough since it is a deemed college now, so the question papers are prepared in the college itself.

Other: Events, fests, and other sports activities are happening all the time.
