The reviewer is interested in pursuing an MBBS degree due to the prestige associated with becoming a doctor, although there are challenges in job acquisition and potential earnings. The dental college is praised for its qualified faculty, each with postgraduate degrees and 5-10 years of experience. Notably, the Prosthodontics and Orthodontics departments are highlighted for having the best faculty. While faculty-student relations are generally positive, there are occasional issues with faculty arrogance and inattentiveness.
Exams are moderately difficult with fair marking, but 60% of students reportedly failed anatomy in the first year. The college's curriculum meets the Dental Council of India's standards, and the environment is generally good. NIMS Dental College offers A++ academic credentials with lower fees compared to other private colleges. The annual fee for BDS is Rs. 175,000, with an additional Rs. 25,000 caution deposit and Rs. 15,000 exam fee. Hostel fees are Rs. 100,000 per year.
Internships in the college’s dental hospital are mandatory and unpaid. Placement opportunities for BDS graduates are limited, but efforts are being made to improve this. The college hosts multiple camps and an international student exchange program. A one-year internship across nine departments is required after BDS, supervised by the principal. Education loans covering tuition, hostel, and mess fees are available, but the college does not offer its own scholarships. Scholarships for BPL students, sports quota, and international students are accessible, along with government scholarships.
The BDS program requires a Class 12 pass with a 50% aggregate in PCB and NEET UG qualification, with an age limit of 25 years. The program involves four years of study and a one-year internship, regulated by the Dental Council of India.
