SGT University Gurgaon MDS Paediatrics & Preventive Dentistry: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The total tuition fee for MDS Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry at SGT University is INR 24,00,000 for the 3-year programme (INR 8,00,000 per annum). This is in line with the fee structure of other private dental colleges in Haryana and Delhi NCR for MDS programmes. Government dental colleges charge significantly lower fees but have very limited seats. Candidates should also factor in hostel and living expenses when planning their budget.

Ans. SGT University has an annual intake of 6 seats for MDS Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, as approved by the Dental Council of India. This is a highly competitive specialisation nationally, with limited seats across all dental colleges. Admission is based on NEET-MDS rank, and the competition is intense. Candidates with a strong NEET-MDS rank and a preference for paediatric dentistry should include SGT University in their choice filling during counselling.

Ans. Admission to MDS at SGT University is exclusively through NEET-MDS followed by centralised counselling. There is no direct admission route. 50% of seats fall under the All India Quota (AIQ) managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in, and the remaining 50% are filled through Haryana state quota counselling conducted by DMER Haryana. Candidates must register on the respective portals after the NEET-MDS result is declared.

Ans. After completing MDS in Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, graduates can work as Paediatric Dentists in hospitals, dental clinics, and child healthcare centres. They can also pursue academic careers as faculty in dental colleges, which require an MDS degree as per DCI norms. Other career options include public health dentistry roles in government health departments, NGOs, and community health centres, as well as research positions in dental institutions. Private practice as a specialist paediatric dentist is also a popular and lucrative option.

Ans. MDS Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry focuses specifically on dental care for children, covering child psychology, behaviour management, growth and development, and preventive techniques for paediatric patients. MDS Public Health Dentistry, on the other hand, has a broader scope covering community oral health, epidemiology, dental public health programmes, and health policy. If you want to work clinically with children, MDS Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry is the right choice. If you are interested in community health, research, and policy, MDS Public Health Dentistry would be more suitable.

Ans.
