    If you want to seriously study then come.
    Placements: The placement of college was good and career development center provides many platforms to explore students ideas in different fields. They provide some training courses in college. Internship was compulsory for 1 year in your own college and it pays a good stipend. You could go for internships in other colleges too. You study well and then go ahead and open a clinic or go for further studies. There were other options too. .
    Infrastructure: Campus life was excellent. Students were friendly. Good for students who came from far to study. Manipal Health Science Library was one of the largest libraries in asian. They had amazing online portals that you can easily access books journals and various resources online. They had the widest range of books available. All the classrooms are equipped with smart classrooms and PPT presentations were clearly accessible. Biometric attendance with centralized AC in every room. We have good sports activities we have event Denta Thala each year where various sports like badminton basketball and football were held inter MAHE intercollege sports events.
    Faculty: Master of Dental Surgery was a good course to explore for an individual in this field. Faculty members of the college were good and supportive in nature. Always guide the students to explore them in the study as well as in extracurricular activities and in sports also make students extraordinary. There were many clinical checkup grounds viva etc. Good research work. Academically good researchers and scholars from this college help you get involved in research work.

    In my view, this college is very good.
    Placements: Many students try to get admission in this college. 56% of students work in our college only, and 26% of students got internships in our course. Many students got jobs in companies. I can't tell the names of companies, but they are famous companies.
