MDS Admission in Delhi 2023

Welcome to another detailed post about MDS admission today I will be giving you the complete information about MDS admission in Delhi.

If you want to take MDS admission in private dental colleges in Delhi, then you must qualify for the NEET-MDS entrance exam. I used to get a lot of calls from students who are not qualified in NEET and wanted to take admission to MDS.

If you have missed the qualification marks by a few numbers, then I would advise you to wait till the last moment of counseling. Till now I had seen that the cut-off marks have been reduced when the seats are left vacant. 😀

Don’t lose hope!

Important: There are no private dental colleges in Delhi and the admission procedure I will be telling will be about private dental colleges in Delhi NCR which comes in Uttar Pradesh. 😀

I will be writing about the fee structure first, as all the students want to know about this first. I will explain eligibility, admission procedures, etc in the next sub-heading.

I know a few colleges in this area that are good and many colleges which are not up to the mark. Here I will be telling you about the fee structure of good colleges only.

MDS Hostel Fees in Delhi

The hostel and mess fees of each college differ a lot, as colleges have many options and facilities. Still, I will give approximate hostel fees for dental colleges in Delhi NCR.

• Non-AC Hostel and Mess – Starting from Rs.75,000/year.
• AC Hostel and Mess – Starting from Rs.1.25 Lakh/year.

These fees also include mess charges. I had also seen a few colleges that charge around Rs.1.50 Lakhs/year for AC Hostels. 😛

MDS Admission Material Charges

If you are a student who had done your BDS from colleges in South India, then you might know most colleges charge material fees that will range from Rs.80,000 to Rs.1 lakh/year depending on the colleges.

But, dental colleges in Delhi NCR don’t charge anything as material fees from MDS students. But it depends on you how much materials you use. It will be limited in these colleges.

You can buy your own material when you need anything extra, which will cost you depending on many factors like the. of patients, your head of the department or guide, etc.

But still, it is worth what you pay!

Why it is better to take MDS admission in Delhi NCR?

I will share what I felt and this is my personal experience. The major reasons are listed below.

• Fee Affordability: Comparing colleges in Bangalore, Tamil Nadu, etc the fee structure is really affordable and is worth what you pay.
• Easy Procedures: I had dealt with all the counseling procedures in India and felt that UP’s counseling procedures are simple and fast.
• Patient Flow: The patient flow to most of the colleges is very good and there are colleges where the patient exposure is worst.
• Colleges: There are many colleges to choose from.
• Connectivity: Colleges in Delhi NCR won’t be much far from Delhi International Airport.

How to Choose the Best Dental College for MDS admission in Delhi?

There are around 8-10 dental colleges in Delhi that provide an MDS course. But all colleges don’t provide the best facilities and academics.

There is tight competition in the infrastructure and patient exposure in different colleges and it is a bit tough to select the best one it.

I would suggest you decide which department you would prefer for MDS admission in Delhi first. After you decide on the department it would be easy to select a college.

In a few colleges, the Endo department will be good and in other orthodontics, the department might be good. And I have the complete updated information about each department in a college.

This makes me easy to guide you through the complete procedure and help you secure an MDS seat in Delhi.

In this section, I will also list a few of the major things you must keep in mind while choosing a college for MDS admission in Delhi.

Patient Exposure

There is no use in joining any college which doesn’t have good patient exposure. To be frank, I won’t stick to the patient exposure, I would say the student-patient ratio must be good.

The number of patients available for each student must be the best.

HOD and Guide

The department must have a good HOD who must have the courage to give you different kinds of cases. I know many colleges, where patient exposure is good but the HOD doesn’t allow students to take up all the cases. This is seen mostly in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery departments.

Fee Affordability

The top colleges in many parts of the country charge a very high fee, especially colleges in the south. If you are ready to migrate toward North India, then you can surely get the best deal.

I always focus on the Return on Investment factor. I would suggest you make a plan, where you can earn back whatever you have invested within 5 years after you complete your MDS course.

There are colleges that charge a hefty extra fee in the name of Material Fees, University fees, etc. Please do enquire about everything before joining any college.
