A good dental college to join.
Placements: It is a professional college. So the students can expect to be well trained enough to start a clinic. The internship training in the college is also good. In my batch, all the seats were filled. The college has two different quotas: management and government. The fees for government quota is less. All the students can afford to do internship in the college for free, no stipend will be given.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is top-notch. All the lecture halls are fully air-conditioned. The labs have all the facilities. The college has lift and escalator services and cycles to travel to the nearby places. The hostel has all the facilities. Food quality is good in hostel and in the college canteen.
Faculty: All the faculty members are highly qualified. The curriculum is finished on time and many exams are conducted from time to time. Co-curricular activities are conducted often with prizes. Students can expect to be ready for the profession by the time they finish the college.
Other: BDS is a professional course. The campus crowd is good. College is situated in the outer regions of Chennai, so if you want to travel to the college by public transportation, bus is the only option. Metro will be available till Siruseri in the next four years. Many inter-college programs are also conducted.
