Coorg Institute of Dental Sciences

Admission: The teachers were pretty good. They focused on teaching and the lessons were relevant. Some extra courses weren't up to par, but overall, the college was good for studying. They offer research chances for undergrads. It's part of RGUHS University, so the courses are similar across Karnataka. You gotta get at least 50% to pass.

Placement: In my batch, we had around 40 students. The tuition fees ranged from 86,000 to 4 lakhs per year. After completing my BDS course, I had to do a compulsory rotary internship at our college. But after that, I had to find a job on my own because there were no placements for BDS students.

Campus: The food at the hostel wasn't too bad, but it cost a lot. In the first year, it was 45k a year, then it went up to 60k, 78k, and now it's 94k. They said it's due to higher raw material prices. The hostel rooms are shared, usually with 2-3 people. It's pretty decent. The library, labs, and classrooms are all good. Plus, we get a month each year just for sports, which is cool.
