What Students Say
Likes
- I love that the patient flow in our college is always on a high note. We as students get to have more clinical knowledge because of this.
- The college provides a very good exposure to the students through pre clinical labs, clinical postings and not just academics, there is exposure to state level tournaments in all sports including basketball, cricket and table tennis.
- There is good encouragement about cultural programmes not just in the college but even for people representing the college in outside competitions.
Dislikes
- Travel to college is a hassle on Mondays and saturdays as a vast majority of people go back to their natives, there's a lot of traffic on these days, buses are always full or they don't come at all.
- would want a better looking campus for the fees we pay, the college looks a little old fashioned, badminton court is very badly maintained, an indoor court would be helpful for practicing.
- There's always some kind of construction going on in the college for the last one year but there's not much of a difference in the maintanence.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is accurately set just as much as it is essential to know, nothing less nothing more. The teachers have unique ways of teaching both clinical and theory subjects. We have 3 internals conducted by the college before the final exam conducted by RGUHS. I would recommend more clinical postings to be given than theory which is just memorizing things would be helpful for us in our life as dentists.
Internships Opportunities
the college provides internship after the final year, which is compulsory according to RGUHS syllabus. We get our practice license only after the internship at the college. There is a placement committee at the college that ensures everyone in the college who passed out are doing an internship, or studying for their NEETMDS exam, or working at a clinic. Stipend is not much, it is very minimal and not satisfactory.
Fees and Financial Aid
I pay 4,30,000 per annum. It is different for different types of admissions by students. The payment is for a duration of 4 years. One year at the end would be internship in the college. Exam fees is collected seperately, which is minimal in cost. I'm from an OBC background but I don't have any reservations or scholarship benefits due to the yearly income basis of the scholarships. Those who have got admission under government seat have their fees fixed at 1,20,000 per annum. However there are merit based scholarships which are hard to avail.
Campus Life
our college has various events and technical festivals which include celebration of Kannada Rajyotsava in the month of November, celebration of Christmas and New Year's in the month of December, celebration of Pongal/Sankranti in the month of January, fest and cultural events in the month of August and chairman's trophy in the month of September, the above are the major events held by the college. apart from this, there are a lot more small events held by the college every month. sports in the college are well encouraged, especially sports like basketball, cricket, table, tennis and badminton. There are no clubs in the college, but there is an organizing team, which handles most of the events. the pre-clinical facilities are very helpful for second year students in improving clinical excellence and pre-clinical exposure for first year. Students is helpful in knowing what we do in our future, it is also very exciting to see our seniors, treat patients and explain to us what the procedures are. The library is very helpful as it contains all the books that we need and they also provide computers for studies.
Admission
I chose RajaRajeswari cental college because it was located closer to my home than the other colleges, and it was also falling into my cut off category. I also applied to VSDC college, but I didn't make it because it wasn't under my cutoff category. My college has an easy admission process, whereas the NEET counseling is a bit of a challenge to someone who doesn't have siblings who went through the same counseling. the admission process of the college includes submission of certain documents required by the college to add your name into the student list of university. the eligibility to join the college comes from passing the NEET exam and making it to the cutoff list.
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio is good. Most of them are always approachable, they are welcoming, nice and they appreciate efforts put in by students. Few of the faculty are however exceptions, they're rude and seem to be angry for no reason, they aren't approachable, very few of them behave like they own the place and demand things to be done their way. But there is a balance and probably inclining more to the good side. The balance also helps us to be humble and do good to not get screwed.
Night Life
I personally do not live in the hostel, but my friends too, and their only complaint about the area is it is isolated from the city so there are a reduced number of shops and places to hang out. The hostel food seems to be decent. The college has a canteen of its own and it is good too. There is a gym in the college, which is of of course not high tier but has all the weights and machinery. There are gyms close by as well, cafeterias and other hangout places to eat and chill are also good, but they are very few.
