The NEET-MDS results came like lightning this year, a pure surprise! ⚡
Usually, it takes a month or two for the authorities to declare the results.
But in this session, the results were declared in 9 days. The exam was conducted on the 1st of March 2023 and the results were declared on the 10th of March 2023.
Now that we can’t make any difference to what happened, it’s time to buckle up and time to be ready for the counseling to secure an MDS seat.
I am Vishnu Nambiar, a dental blogger and career counselor! 😀
I have been guiding students for more than a decade to secure MDS seats in different top dental colleges in India, and the most asked questions by students and parents are –
- How much it will be for MDS through management quota?
- What will be the MDS fee structure in private colleges?
In this article, I will guide and explain to you thoroughly the MDS course fee structure in private dental colleges for each department in different states.
I will also try to share with you the low fees for dental colleges for MDS.

- How do I choose and recommend colleges?
- How I can help you in taking MDS admission?
- What are the benefits I can provide you!
It is not practically possible to explain the fee structure of each college, so I will give you a general idea about the same.

MDS Fee Structure in Private Colleges in India
You might be aware that the fee structure for each department varies.
General Idea About MDS Fees in Private Colleges
Before I explain to you the fees of different branches of MDS, let me give you a basic idea. The fee structure for MDS in the colleges in South India will be higher compared to other parts of the country.
Now you might be thinking that it is only because of the quality of education provided by the colleges. Many of the top dental colleges are indeed located in the South, but that doesn’t mean the colleges in the North are not up to the mark.
If you have scored very low score or just secured the border qualification marks in the NEET-MDS exam, then I would suggest you to go colleges in the North.
The reason? An MDS seat which costs you around Rs.40-45 lakhs in Karnataka might cost you around Rs.20-30 Lakhs, providing the same standard of education and quality of the college.
If you want in-depth information, you can go through my detailed article about:

| Branch | Total Fee Structure Range including Hostel & Food |

| Oral Pathology | Starts from Rs.6 lakhs to Rs.15 Lakhs |
| Community | Starts from Rs.12 lakhs to Rs.18 Lakhs |
The above-mentioned fees include tuition fees, hostel, food, and material charges.
Yes, and I can guarantee you that these colleges won’t be cheap and low-quality colleges. These colleges will have the best facilities, patient exposure, and technologies.
Extra Fees You Must Expect – Examination & Material Fees
Examination Fees
Apart from the tuition fees and hostel fees, you must also expect examination fees. You might be thinking it will be around Rs.5,000 to Rs.10,000.
This depends on each university and college! I know colleges whose examination fees are around Rs.1 lakh. You must expect a minimum of Rs.25,000 as examination fees.
Material Fees
In the above table, almost 90% of the fees are including your material fees. But few colleges charge a huge material fee. You can expect the charges to be around Rs.80,000 to Rs.1.25 lakhs per year, depending on each college.
How I Filter and Recommend Colleges?
As I told you, I have been guiding students for the past 10 years, I filter colleges depending on different criteria.
The basic filtration is that the college must be affiliated with a reputed university and recognized by the Dental Council of India.
#1 Budget & Location: You Might be Surprised!
Yes, you might be surprised! There is no meaning in searching for a college that doesn’t fit my bank balance right? So I filter the colleges for students depending on their budget and location preference.
Some students have very low fee affordability and want the best colleges in Karnataka which costs more than 40 Lakhs. That is when I try to make them understand it is never possible and give them options depending on their budget.
# 2 Branch: Each college is known for a branch
There are more than 300 dental colleges in India and all 9 branches won’t be the best in all the colleges. For example, college A might be best for Endodontics, and the Orthodontics department in the same college can be worse.
As per your branch preference, I will shortlist the colleges.
# Patient Exposure and Tech
The college must have a decent patient flow! Some colleges boast of having 800+ patients in a day – Those are marketing gimmicks in 99% of the cases.
The number of patients doesn’t matter – Student to patient ratio matters. Not UG students, PG students.
# Head of the Department – HOD
The college is ranked No.1, with thousands of patients each day, and having the latest technology – but the HOD is not interested in teaching or is non-supportive.
All hard work is in vain right?

I have visited hundreds of dental colleges in India and know many students studying in different states of the country. I am in constant touch and have the latest updates about each college.

Note: I never recommend colleges that I haven’t visited or don’t know about. 😛
