I have completed BDS from this college and as per my experience I can say that, basic requirement for admission is that candidate must have completed 10+2 with minimum 50% aggregate marks with physics, chemistry, biology and English as the compulsory subject from a recognised board, but the selection for admission is made on the basis of score in entrance examination. For BDS candidates can appear for NEET UG entrance examinations, mode of which is online. Exam result is followed by online counselling after which the colleges are offered to the students on the basis of their rank. I found fees structure and course curriculum to be very flexible.
