What Students Say
Likes
- The infrastructure of the college is amazing
- The teaching style, the rare machines and the exposure that you get in college is impeccable! You become a great dentist by the time you complete your UG
- The patient flow is abundant and so is the number of cases to handle for the doctors. Around 2000 patients come for treatment to this college everyday. The internships here are paid!
Dislikes
- Too much work load will be there. Too many quotas to complete
- The fees structure is something that could have been less but it is what it is
- Work again, students of 2nd year do the work of a final year student here. Though they get very familiarised with everything and it would help in future..it’s too much work
Course Curriculum Overview
I just always like art and biology! Dentistry was one field that included art and biology at the same time! This is what influenced me to choose this course! The college prepares you the the NEET MDS exam that is what is the NEXT exam I've talked about. And as dentists we become very precised and and excellent with out hands skills and digital designing better than students of other colleges. I don't think I have anything to say for that where they should improve..I like they're style. The NEXT exams get completed within 1 week or 2 and the University exams gets over by a month
Internships Opportunities
The final year that is the 5th year is the internship year is done in the same college! There are no placements for dentistry done. The internship are paid. In which one can earn from 15k to 1L easily depending upon the number of cases they handle.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees that one pays in saveetha dental college for a year is 8,50,000 of you opt for BDS so you complete this course in 5 years and will be paying 34 lakhs by the end of the course. The tuition fees is 8 lakhs and you will paying 50k seperately for the other fees's like the admission fees, lab fees and etc. They never really specify what costs how much. You just pay in total. For MDS it differs from one department to the other. This college is a private college which is why the fees structure is so huge! They collect 8,5L including all the tuition fees, registration fees, lab fees and etc., And no the fees has not increased since 2023. It is the same fees structure for all the students, doesn't matter what your category is. There is no scholarship or scholarship exams for joining this college!

Which includes all kinds sport game competitions and on stage and off stage competitions as well. There are a variety of dentistry books available in the library. There are 3D machines. Scanning machines and pre clinical phantom heads to work on.
Admission
Saveetha Dental college was my first dream college and I also got into it! I really chose the college because it is ranked the No.1 dental college in India and holds and SCIMAGO rank of no.1 and the World WS ranking is no.18 . The college has a great infrastructure and we do the things at 1st years that only a student of 3rd year does in other colleges! And I don't think many colleges teach them digital designing! Something that this college does teaches! And the labs and fantastic! They are completely since aesthetic and all lab and classrooms are AC conditioned. For joining saveetha dental college you need register through TNMC counselling and choose this college as your first option to join! The cut offs here vary according the the AIR NEET ranks...but mostly you can get admission here if you score around 120-300/750 as well.
Faculty
I'm not really sure but the faculty to students ratio is about 500-185 for UG and around 150 to-185 for PG. The faculty members here are very friendly and kind! They help you with whatever doubts you have as long as you give respect! It's a friendly environment to work because of the friendly yet professional teachers. They are very approachable. There are about 185 teaches/professors in this college. I like Dr. Keerthi Sasanka from the prosthodontics department! Because he is a super friendly and yet a very smart teacher in the whole college! I like his passion for teaching prosthodontics in the college. Some of the best faculty members and dr. Keerthi Sasanka from prostho dept, Dr. Prabha in prostho dept, and Dr. Vishnu Priya in the biochemistry dept. I will not reveal the teachers name that I don't like but I can say she is from the forensic department. She is a little rude with the students and gets angry very easily! As for the exams, there are two main exams to write to pass! The 'NEXT exam' which is an MCQ based exam where every student need ms to get above 50 marks to pass the exam! In a batch there are 100 students...during the NEXT exam only around 65 students pass the rest fail due to the difficulty level. Yes, the exams are tough but it depends, sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's tough! So for the students who fail, the keep a re exam until they pass...the number of re exam doesn't matter. Because only if one passes all the NEXT exams for each subject they will be able to go the next year or they are sent as a 'break batch' ( repetition ). The other exam is the University exam that is theory based. In this exam, it consists of either 70 or 90 fill ups for 45 marks (the number of fill up defers from exam to exam) and then the students write something called the concept maps - 4 concept maps for a topic( each of 5 marks) and an EBD (evidence based dentistry)- it is a research article relating writing.
