About

Established in the year 2000, the Institute of Dental Studies and Technologies (IDST) in Ghaziabad is a well-regarded private dental college affiliated with Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut. It is approved by the Dental Council of India (DCI) and holds an 'A' grade accreditation from NAAC, which speaks to its quality of education. In the NIRF 2023 rankings, IDST secured the 23rd position among dental colleges across India, making it a strong contender for aspiring dentists. The institute primarily offers two main courses: the undergraduate Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and the postgraduate Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in various specializations like Orthodontics and Prosthodontics. Getting into these programs is competitive, with admissions for BDS based on NEET-UG scores and for MDS on NEET-PG scores, followed by centralised counselling. For students planning for the 2025 academic session, the annual tuition fee for the BDS program is approximately ₹3.65 lakhs, excluding other charges like hostel and security fees. After completing the four-year academic term, BDS students undergo a mandatory one-year paid rotating internship, which provides crucial hands-on clinical experience. While specific placement data for 2025 is not yet available, looking at recent trends gives a fair idea of career outcomes. Based on the 2023 NIRF report, the median salary for BDS graduates was around ₹4.80 LPA. Graduates typically go on to join private clinics, corporate dental chains, or government hospitals, while many also opt for higher studies or start their own private practices.
