Courses Offered
Bachelor of Dental Surgery(BDS)
The Bachelor of Dental Surgery (B.D.S) is a five-year
course, with four years of study followed by a year of compulsory internship,
which prepares students for patient-oriented dental practice and emphasizes prevention
and early detection of dental disease. The first two years are the pre-clinical
years comprising the study of basic medical sciences and development of basic
clinical skills on patient simulated models. The next two years are clinical
years wherein students are exposed to clinical environment and treatment of
patients. The curriculum is designed to develop a spirit of inquiry amongst
students that lead them to seek better ways to promote and preserve oral and
general health. The primary goal of our institution is to educate dentists who
are well grounded in the basic medical sciences, skilled in the exercise of
clinical care, and, above all, sensitive to the needs of their patients. To

practical learning experiences in dental clinics of our college and medical
hospitals outside the dental institution.
