What you should know about MDS Fees In Private Colleges in India?

Dear Aspirants,

Before you start planning your budget for MDS, you should be aware of some crucial information. The MDS tuition fee structure varies across dental colleges in India due to several factors, such as:

• State Government Rules
• Affiliated University
• Type of College you choose for MDS
• Branch and Specialization

Additionally, factors like recognition, affiliation, and the age of the colleges also influence the MDS fee structure.

Also, make sure you are aware of the total number of MDS seats in India and the available MDS seats in your state, so you can have a clear idea of the options you can choose during counselling.

Before exploring the fee structure, it is essential to understand the types of dental colleges in India. Based on affiliation and governance, there are three types of dental colleges:

1. Government Dental Colleges
2. Deemed Dental Universities or Colleges Affiliated with Deemed Universities
3. Private Dental Colleges or Private Universities

MDS Fees in Private Colleges: MDS Branches Fees

I had tied up with a few good colleges in terms of patient exposure and faculties that provide a special fee structure of MDS Course Fees in 2025 for me. First of all, I will mention the approximate fee structure for each department or MDS branches, and I will explain it in depth.

The fee structure mentioned below includes hostel, food, and registration charges. You will have to pay extra university examination fees. I have colleges that don’t charge for materials, and you can buy them on your own.

Following is the complete MDS Course Fees in Private Colleges in India 2025 according to the Specialty:

Specialty	Fees
Endodontics	19-27 Lakhs
Orthodontics	19-27 Lakhs
Oral Surgery	19-27 Lakhs
Prosthodontics	12-15 Lakhs
Periodontics	12-14 Lakhs
Oral Medicine	5-7 Lakhs
Community	5-7 Lakhs
Oral Pathology	5-7 Lakhs

These are the colleges in North India and in various states such as UP, Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh, where I can guarantee you the patient exposure and faculty. The fee structure for colleges in South India will be very much higher than this. Private dental colleges in South India, such as Karnataka, also charge very high material fees compared to these colleges.

I would suggest a few dental colleges in the Delhi region, where the fee structure is low and the quality of education is good. For more details, you can also read about MDS admission in Delhi.

And in the south, I suggest you take MDS admissions in Bangalore or anywhere in Karnataka.

Pro Tip: If you are able to pay the complete fees in the first year, then I can talk with the college about a fee reduction. You can expect a discount of anywhere between 2-3 lakhs in total fees.

Per Year Fees for MDS in Private Colleges

I can arrange installment facilities in a few dental colleges as you wish. Mostly all the dental colleges will ask to pay the tuition fees in an equal split, and in special cases, they will be ready to negotiate with it.

If you pay the complete fees in the first year, you can get a good discount on your fees at a few selected colleges.

Now, you might be thinking about whether you have to pay any donations to the college. No! You don’t have to pay more fees than the government’s fixed fees.

Practically, it is not possible to pinpoint a specific “Cheapest Private MDS college in India” since fee structures change according to the scenario each year. However, I can tell you about states where you can find MDS with low fees in India.
