Anand Pise's Review On SMBT Dental College Sangamner, Ahmednagar

Management is really Cooperative and disciplined. The security people however are rude sometimes. Any good suggestions from students are always welcomed and worked upon.

I took MHTCET. I got admission through Government Quota. I always wanted to do BDS admission process was quite smooth.

Course comprises of 4 academic years and 1 year of internship. Initial days are tough since we are not accustomed to things never seen before. Research work comprises of new treatment modalities and effect of newer medicines on infective organisms newer techniques in prevention and treatment of tooth decay root canal and many other diseases.

Yes Internship in my college is the Golden Period. Stipend was not given at our time. But we were allowed to do complicated cases which improved the confidence level and the ability to face the real world of dentistry outside college. Management and staff was Cooperative and provided us the necessary facilities and armamentarium to handle patients.

Well since this is a professional course many of us are self employed Dental professional. However students get consultations in private hospitals. Government jobs in UPSC and MPSC are also available. But best way is to start our own clinic. Lectures can be conducted in colleges which can yield a high income.

College had a huge open auditorium and a small closed auditorium. Every year there are cultural programmes like Fresher's Party, Cultural week, Sports week, Holi, Navratri Garba, Christmas and new year. Whole college including non teaching staff enjoy every moment of it.

Being a government aided student I had less fees as compared to others. But still the fees are on the higher side. About 125000 per year. Hostel fees comprise of about 30000 and also we have to spend on dental materials which costs about 20000 per year. Mess and breakfast is also expensive.

Yes students with reservation get full funding from Government. I had scholarship of about 30000 per year.

Campus is not that happening since most of the area is built up and very less open space. Not much plantation. Gender ratio is predominantly feminine. People from all religion and community dwell together in harmony. There is however a fine line among students who are Government aided and students who gained seats through management quota. But it disappear in later years. After all everybody goes through same situation Good or Bad.

Hostel was a family it was clean and ample amount of water,electricity with generator Back up. Hot water,clean toilets and good ventilation. Drinking water was an issue initially but later a water filter was installed. Hostel contains a Table Tennis room a TV room.

Alumni Network is not that developed yet. Hoping that the college preserves their alumni and arrange get together every year.

Exams were a real tense situation. With such a vast portion it was really difficult to recall everything that we read. Practical exams were also very strict. Very few manage to pass the exams easily. It was like Now or 6 months later. Passing the exams was the first priority while passing it with good grades was secondary. Exams comprise of written and practical exams and Viva. So the versatility of students was tested.

Renowned Dental Faculty with Experience, Knowledge and skill to train amateur students is commendable. Systematic training and practical sessions help the students to gain clinical knowledge in detail. Clinical assessment of patients is done under supervision of the staff to provide optimum treatment and avoid any complication. Demonstration on latest treatment modalities is performed every now and then to update the knowledge of students.
