Life @ Santosh

You just have to qualify for NEET to enroll in any medical and dental course. You get admission on the basis of all India counseling through the management quota. Students can find the application form just after the NEET exam results when counseling starts at the MCC. You have to go for the management quota and fill in Santosh deemed to be University as your first choice in counseling form. There is no need to worry about category reservation. Anyone who is willing to get admission can get very easily. You don't need to score very well in the exams if you are willing to get to this college. Minimum marks required can be about 200 approx. Currently, the fees for the MBBS course are 24 lakhs per year and for BDS Course is 2.5 lakhs per year. You can also avail of the student discount of up to 20% if you submit your fees early. There is also a scholarship program for some students. There are 150 seats for the MBBS course and 100 seats for bds course. If you are unable to get the college during the 1st and 2nd rounds then go for mop-up.

I personally chose this course because I was unable to get the MBBS course in any government college and it was not in my budget to pay 24 lakhs per year for the MBBS course in this college so I had to go for BDS. There are 4 faculty for every department. There are a total of 8 departments in the BDS course. Faculties are very cooperative and helpful and they are very knowledgeable too. The mode of teaching is both offline and online depending upon the situation. We are taught by using a projector and PowerPoint presentation. The schedule is very hectic and classes happen daily from 8 am to 4 pm, only on Saturday it is half-day, classes take place till 1 pm. We get a 1-hour break from 1-2 pm. Two internals takes place at an interval of 3 months and then pre-professional exams and finally, professional exams happen. It's easy to clear all the exams if you have studied well throughout the whole year. Teachers also help sometimes during exams. Those students who are top in the exams even get scholarships.

The internship is provided by the college itself. Students get experience in all the dental departments. The patient crowd is very good. For every intern, there is a limit on the minimum patient that they have to do. Students can get good experience and exposure while treating patients in this college and hospital.

There is no hike in fees structure generally. They charge 24 lakhs per year for the MBBS course and 2.5 lakhs for the BDScourse. Students can get a discount on their fees if they submit early. There is also a scholarship program for those students who top their exams. Interns get their stipend of about 4000/- per month for the BDS course. After internship students either opt for MDS in any department or open their own clinic.

There happens an annual fest every year named Aura. Sports which are to be played on the campus are mainly table tennis and badminton. Extracurricular activities happen every week like various days are celebrated.
