Hi.
These are usually the most budget-friendly because they are funded by the government:
| College Name | Location | Approx. Annual Fees |
|---|---|---|
| Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences (MAIDS) | Delhi | ₹15,600/yr |
| Government Dental College & Hospital, Mumbai | Maharashtra | ₹35,700/yr |
