Top 10 Dental Colleges In India 2018

For many people, dentistry is next to medical. But that is far from being true. Dental science in itself is a wholesome and complete course that serves its purpose to mankind. The immense potential that this field of study carries within itself is something that is praiseworthy.

That is precisely why every year there is a dearth of tens of thousands of people in this profession. To make up for the same, a number of dental colleges and other institutions are being set-up across the country.

However, not all such colleges are up to the mark when it comes to imparting quality dental education. That is why it is very difficult to make a choice about which dental college you (or someone close to you, for that matter) should enroll in. To do away with this problem, here is a list of the top 10 dental colleges of the country.

Due to the magnanimous volume in terms of the number of upcoming colleges, there is a lot of competition amongst the colleges to make it to this list. This makes the list very dynamic in nature. Hence, it is important to note that the list has been made in the context of 2018 and is subject to change in the coming years.

1. Maulana Azad Institute Of Dental Sciences, New Delhi

What began as a small department of dentistry under the Maulana Azad Medical College is today the top dental college of the country. Way back in the 1960s only a handful of senior dental servants served in this institute. Today it has a huge amalgamation of the best dental experts of the country committed to providing quality education to the next generation.

All through this long and beautiful journey, one thing that has remained constant is the fact that the institute has not faltered from its promise of providing quality dental care to every patient who visits the hospital.
