Our BDS is delivered over 5 years, where Year 1 & 2 covers Phase 1 Pre-Clinical Subjects. Year 3 onwards students cover Clinical Subjects and spend most of their time in our state-of-the-art facilities that include 3 Student Polyclinics with 51 dental units each as well as a well-equipped Prosthetic Laboratory.

The BDS programme is a comprehensive course dedicated to providing value-based dental education utilizing up-to-date technologies to ensure student satisfaction in acquiring the clinical experience required for a general dental practice. Hospital dentistry, community programmes, general medicine, and general surgery postings have been arranged with collaborative agencies to facilitate teaching-learning activities. The arranged postings allow the acquisition of knowledge, clinical skills, and effective communication skills in the real working environment.
