Hello everyone and welcome back to Career Mudra. Today we’ll talk about DCI-approved dental colleges in Himachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh is a very beautiful state with many hill stations, and many students wish to study in a beautiful place. There are very limited colleges here. In this state, there are only five dental colleges in total, of which one is government and the other four are private colleges.
All the colleges mentioned below have BDS courses. Therefore, we would suggest you go through our page on BDS admission if you plan to take a BDS course in the future.
Seats are very limited, and the best part is that in each of these colleges, 50% of the seats are reserved for state quota for Himachal Pradesh resident students. The remaining 50% of seats are also available for outside students through counseling. Their counseling is conducted by Atal University, Shimla. All other colleges here are also affiliated with Atal University.
