Established in 2013, GSL Dental College & Hospital (GSLDC) in Rajahmundhry is a private institution affiliated with Dr. Y.S.R. University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada. It holds the essential approval from the Dental Council of India (DCI), which is a key checkmark for any aspiring dental student in the country. The college is focused on dental education, offering the undergraduate Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program and the postgraduate Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) across several specialities. For students looking at the 2025 and 2026 academic sessions, admissions will be strictly based on merit. A good rank in the NEET-UG exam is required for the BDS course, while NEET-MDS scores are necessary for postgraduate seats. Seat allocation is managed through state-level counselling. The annual tuition fee for the BDS program under the management quota is approximately INR 4.5 lakhs. Unlike engineering colleges, dental institutes don't have a traditional campus placement system. The career path here is quite different. After the four-year BDS degree, students must complete a mandatory one-year paid rotatory internship at the GSL General Hospital, which provides crucial hands-on clinical experience. After graduation, many students prepare for NEET-MDS for higher specialisation, while others venture into private practice by setting up their own clinics or join established dental hospitals and chains.
