Honest Review of BDS in Chennai
Likes
- The faculties are good and the teaching experience is wonderful . Improved hostel infrastructure and decent lecture halls
Dislikes
- The overall infrastructure is really poor . Lack of good canteen . Lack of decent washrooms . Very poor specimens in anatomy department
Remarks :
It was quite easy to get admission and the process was simple too. You can apply via Medical Counselling to our college. You've to reach the college campus to finish your admission process. Could be a hastle for those in other states. Cut-off matters for admission. They really do make a note of it
Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose the course on the basis of handwork and aesthetic purposes. But I mainly chose the degree due to its flexibility and the ability to focus on other hobbies too. The curriculum mainly revolves around communication and handwork. It helps one to gain the courage to approach people but also teaches patience to deal with hardships. Improvements : Tests can be made more of mcq forms and teaching can be more improved . It still is like a conservative teaching. Example : Involve more case study based questions. Frequency of exams is very decent and it doesn't cause much of a stress . But the pattern of exam is not good
Internships Opportunities :
Since this is a BDS course, there are no such companies or campus interviews. It is all about how the individual is going to take his/her life decision and move ahead. Some may apply for govt jobs. while some may set up a clinic or some may join as an assistant to a senior doctor. Our college doesn't offer any intership fees.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The tuition fee as compared to other colleges is the same, but I feel it is not utilized to its full potential. My complete cost per year would be at least 6 lakhs including other expenses. Availability of govt quota scholarships. 7.5 percent scholarships. Female student scholarship, etc. I have not taken any campus employment.
Campus Life :
Our college barely has any festivals within our college. But we attend so many intercollege competitions. Eg . MIDAS The library is really good. Its availability and open hours are a real help for any student who wants to learn well. There are few clubs for students.
Hostel Facilities :
Renovated hostel rooms. Neat and clean rooms. Certain rooms are being renovated. When it comes to mess food, it's an average. Sometimes it isn't tolerable. Easy registration process for hostels and a negative is that you can't get access to a good network. So it affects our ability to access information during the study.
Faculty :
Faculties are comparatively lower than overall students. Staff interact very well. They not only teach you the subject but also help you get ahead in terms of life. Teachers are well qualified. Most are doctors and many have finished Phd. Although it is hard to approach certain staff, once you get to know them it becomes much easier and better to interact.
