MDS Fees in Private Colleges
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 2024 for me. First of all, I will mention the approximate fee structure for each department, 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 2024 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, 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 too.
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 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 fees more than the government’s fixed fees.
