St. Joseph's College of Nursing Dharmagiri

About

Established in 1997, MN DAV Dental College and Hospital in Solan is a well-known private institution for students aspiring to a career in dentistry. Affiliated with Himachal Pradesh University (HPU), Shimla, the college is recognized by the Dental Council of India (DCI), ensuring that its curriculum and infrastructure meet national standards. For years, it has been a popular choice for dental education in the region, focusing on both theoretical knowledge and practical clinical skills. The college primarily offers the five-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program, which includes a one-year compulsory rotating internship. For those seeking specialization, it also provides a Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in several disciplines. Admission to the BDS course is strictly based on the NEET UG score, with seat allocation managed through counselling conducted by HPU. For the 2025 academic session, the annual tuition fees for the BDS program under the management quota are expected to be approximately ₹3.80 lakhs, though this can vary. When it comes to career prospects, the focus is less on traditional campus placements and more on building a professional foundation. Students of the 2026 graduating batch will complete their mandatory paid internship within the college's hospital, which serves a large volume of patients and provides extensive hands-on experience. After graduating, most alumni either pursue higher studies for an MDS degree, start their own private practice, or seek positions in established private and government hospitals across the country.
