Excellent faculties and placement opportunities

My experience with the Al Azhar Dental College is a mixed batch of feeling. I am pursuing my BDS from the thrissur campus. Academics wise and overall course structure wise it’s quite flexible and educating. But some faculty members are there just as a formality, though the rest of the faculty is quite dedicated. Campus life and the hostel life is also good, but the placements are not good.

Live shows, electronic music festival like Sunburn, movie promotions takes place in the college campus. Our Dental department also organises many field visits to offer free dental treatment. We also have our own sports team, which participates in intercollege sports events organised annually.

The entire course fee is more than 10 lacs which is not in the range of affordability for a middle class family. I took a student loan, since it was my dream to be a dental surgeon.

The campus life is awesome in the Al Azhar Campus. Many cultural and festive events are celebrated in the University campus which brings people from different departments and cultural backgrounds together.

Hostel life for girls is strict. You may feel you are in a convent school hostel. Mess food is also not of good quality. There is no student representatives or any authority to complain to. Hostel life may be fun if you are lucky enough to find good friends in the hostel.

Admission is on the basis of UG NEET scores. I picked this college because Al Azhar college is at a close distance from my house.

Some of the faculty is quite supportive, while others are there just because of their qualification. They are there to just wrap up the syllabus.
