Maitri College of Nursing

About

Located in Nadiad, Gujarat, the Faculty of Dental Science at Dharmsinh Desai University (DDU) is a well-regarded private institution for dental education. The college is recognized by the Dental Council of India (DCI) and holds a NAAC 'A' grade, reflecting its commitment to quality education. For the academic year 2025, it is projected to maintain its standing among the top dental colleges, similar to its 2024 NIRF ranking where it was positioned 35th in India. This makes it a significant choice for dental aspirants in the region. The institution primarily offers the undergraduate Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program and postgraduate Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) courses across various specializations. Admission to these programs is strictly merit-based, with prospective BDS students needing to qualify through the NEET UG exam, followed by state counselling. Similarly, MDS admissions are processed through NEET MDS scores. For the 2025 intake, the annual tuition fee for the BDS program is expected to be approximately ₹4.95 lakhs, a key factor for students to consider during their financial planning. Regarding career outcomes, dental colleges operate differently from typical placement-driven institutions. Most graduates either pursue higher studies like MDS or venture into establishing their own private practice. While the career data for the 2025 and 2026 batches is not yet available, the outcomes for the 2024 batch provide a solid benchmark. Graduates who chose to take up jobs immediately after their compulsory internship secured an average starting salary of around ₹4.2 LPA in hospitals and private clinics.
