Government Dental College Thiruvananthapuram Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

I came to the medical field is because i like social services. But studying the course is really challenging. Practical classes helps to improve our skills and itprepare us for real world applications.

I am BDS student at Govt Dental College, Thiruvananthapuram, which follows the curriculum of KUHS ( Kerala University of Health Sciences). It is a well organized curriculum, giving equal importance to both the theory and practical works. The teaching method involves ICT classes and demonstrations. The timing of exams are pre scheduled.

There are two sessional/internal exams in a year. There is a model exam prior to the university exam . You may get a study leave between the models and university exam , duration of which is irregular each year.

I was choosing this because of my urge to become a doctor and want to treat patients in my future. I am happy with the course but our curriculum include that if in an exam we didn't get 50% marks in two papers they didn't provide a supplimentary exam without loosing 6 months and those who fail in two subjects become a seperate batch for continuing their course . This additional system makes students more stressed in their exams

The curriculum prepares us improving the clinical knowledge and application.The teaching methods are proper.The frequency and exam timing are proper which helps us in learning.There is no difficulty with respect to exam timing.

We are taught based on the KUHS prescribed standard textbooks. And proper presentation of the chapters are given timely. Annually they conduct two internal exams and proper evaluation are done....

Vast clinical experience that reduces the fear and unsureties to approach a patient. The curriculum prepares us well for real world applications by exposing us to varieties of cases and helps us to gather more information about them. The curriculum felt a bit hectic but its quite adjustable in terms of the exam frequencies and the additional systems.

BDS course is not the course as we think.it has many opportunities and also there are nine departments so that we can ho into various fields after this degree. There is monthly exams in this college and there are many things to improve like way of conducting exams.

BDS is a course that provide wide range of opportunities for us in India as well as in other countries.The curriculum mainly includes 8 main subjects having moderate level of difficulties.There are 3 internal exams and 1 main university exam with 2 tob3 months gap between them.The pattern makes the study lot easier

Overall it's a-okay college with old infrastructure. A good number of cases to see and practice. Good learning platform for limited procedures. Hectic schedules with less free time to roam around. Very few leaves.
