There were, in total, 16 private dental colleges in Bangalore. Among them, 14 are recognized by DCI (Dental Council of India), and 13 colleges offer post-graduation dental programs as well. One college doesn’t offer an MDS program. 

NEET Eligibility is mandatory to get a seat in any of the dental colleges under RGUHS. Students from other states are also eligible to participate in the counseling procedure.

Some are attached to medical colleges on the same campus. Some are on different campuses but are under the same management as medical colleges, whereas some are only pure dental colleges. All these colleges come under RGUHS (Rajiv Gandhi University of Health and Sciences).
