How do I get into Sharda University for a BDS? What is the detailed fee structure?

GS

Gourav Saha

22 May 21

Getting into Sharda University is not that difficult. An acquaintance of mine had to go through only an interview a few years back when he applied. Now, one has to appear for NEET. On the basis of that result, you go through the counseling process, and then your admission is finalized. The fee structure is approximately 4.5 lacs per annum and it’s a 4-year course.

Studying for NEET requires an extreme amount of effort. Trying for a better college than this would be good for you. A good government institution would help in saving you that money as Sharda University is on the expensive side.

If you have been studying for your college internals all year, you can pass the first-year BDS exam under RGUHS in just 20 days. If not, studying the past 10 years' worth of RGUHS Question papers from a Question bank will be helpful for you right now. Divide your topics in all first-year subjects into the following categories before moving forward:

Once you have completed this table, you will be aware of your strengths and weaknesses. Now, look at the exam questions from the previous ten years to gauge your topical preparedness. 

To increase your chances of success, create a timetable based on your strengths and weaknesses and try to adhere to 70% of it.

One of my friends studies there and he once told me that his dream comes true after getting admission to this institute. He mentioned that there are many things, which are actually looking forward by every student. 

  • This institute provides the best clinical posting, Academics, and extracurricular opportunities such as sports and cultural events. 
  • The college administration itself organizes some CDE programs and seminars for the betterment of the students. 
  • In your third year, you will get the opportunity to work with AIIMS Rishikesh for your studies in General Medicine and General Surgery. 
  • My friend has just completed his work experiences in AIIMS, which is really a life-changing knowledge for him considering his future career perspectives. 
  • However, the Dental Schools' lack of exposure is a Myth, but this institute works hard to provide its students world-class services and medical equipment.

This institute is on the River Ganges banks, which is very relaxing, and the college environment is very soothing and breathtakingly beautiful. My friend has just finished his 3 years in this college, and he mentioned that this institute provides a homely feeling. Teachers are amiable, kind, and helpful. Thus, if you want to take admission to this institute, go for it.

17 Jan 22

As per the Dental Council of India (DCI), this year (2022) the session will start from January to September. The session will be short (9 months), so according to that your exam should be in the month of February or March. 

Furthermore if they delay your session it will keep on getting shorter. The second is quite hectic when it comes to preclinical work.

So it is suggested that you write a letter or email your university requesting them to start your exam to prevent further delay in your next session.
