Infrastructure:

The dental college lies in a remote corner of the giant Victoria Hospital premises. It covers a small area but is sufficient enough to deal with both students and the millions of patients flowing in everyday. Air-conditioned classrooms (unprecedented, but true), a new library stuffed with ample books, modernistic laboratories and well-equipped clinical rooms take good care of the academic facilities necessary. However, students feel the need for some recreational or sports facilities which is not met with appropriately by the one-and-only badminton court lying in shambles.

Hostels  : are shared with Bangalore Medical College students. Guys are said to be lucky in this case as they fortunately have everything under their control right from cleanliness to discipline to food with little interference from the college administration. The girls’ hostel on the other hand is managed by the college authorities and stays in a state of disarray. “It’s disgusting! Rats are seen running around and often into our rooms as well!” says an occupant of the girls’ hostel.

Fees: Rs. 7,000/-
