|---|---|---|
| Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences (MAIDS) | Delhi | ₹15,600/yr |
| Government Dental College & Hospital, Mumbai | Maharashtra | ₹35,700/yr |
| Nair Dental College | Mumbai, Maharashtra | ₹35,000/yr |
| Government Dental College, Bangalore | Karnataka | ₹55,000/yr |
| Government Dental College, Chennai | Tamil Nadu | ₹35,000/yr |

| Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Dental College (AMU) | Aligarh | ₹67,900 total |
