What Students Say
Likes
- I loved the patient flow and patient interaction techniques employed with first year students. There are more patients in the hospitals then the students can handle, ensuring sufficient patient exposure to students.
- The students are involved in the clinical areas of the hospital from the first week itself, in the form of early induction programmes. This way students can understand patients and clinical practise from first year itself.
- Students usually have problem connecting the clinical and non clinical aspect of dentistry between the first two years and beyond. To battle that, ITS integrates students with clinical postings in the hospital from 1st year itself.
Dislikes
- The male to female ratio is low. But this is the story of every dental college in India whatsoever. In my batch, there are only 18 boys out of the total 100 students.
Course Curriculum Overview
Despite being a private college, ITS dental college follows the same academic calender and curriculum that a government college follows. This is because ITS dental college comes under the affiliation of a government owned state university, Atal Bihari Vajpayee medical university in Lucknow. There are three different kinds of examinations. The first term exams are in December with 35% syllabus. The second term exams are in March with 70% syllabus and the final professional examinations are in July with 100% syllabus.
Internships Opportunities
Hospitals like Max, Apollo, Fortis and Clove Dental Clinic provide direct placements from campus. The students can intern at the attatched Surya Hospital at ITS dental college. During internship the students are given a stipend amount for the patient work they do. To fulfill the working hours and clinical experience necessary for any foreign exam like USMLE, PLAB and ORE, the college gives the students a minimum QUOTA of the patients they are supposed to treat in a month.
Placement Experience
Dentistry is not a semester based placement programme. After BDS, students can be employed in the private dental clinic of ITS itself, or they can secure jobs from big hospital names like Fortis, Clove Dental Clinics, Max and Apollo. • The average package of students per month has been 3 lakh rupees. My plans after the degree are to get a campus placement, and practise for some time. During this time i would be earning good money and focusing on my NEET MDS preparation at the same time.

The first night is a celebrity night with previous performances from mohit chauhan, baadshah, papon and shaan. The other days include various extra curricular activities like dance, modelling, Sports and games. Many dental and medical colleges from all over India, take part in this festival. • EUPHORIA: this is a three day intra college festival, where the first, second, third and fourth year students compete in a series of events like sports, games, dance, and fashion show. • Apart from this, the college celebrates hostel day, pg day, and also birthdays of students, so that they feel like hostel is a home, away from home.
Hostel Facilities
• The hostel has both AC and Non AC rooms available. The rooms have a single seater, double seater and a triple seater option. • The food is good and tasty. The food is always served hot and the menu changes every month. The timings are a little thin for students to finish eating quickly, but apart from that the food quality is good. • The rooms are available easily whatsoever, but the choices of the alloted room and choice of roomates is considered first come first serve basis.
Faculty
The faculty is amazing. Every professor is passed out or ex faculty of prestigious institutes like MAMC and KGMU. The director principal of the college, Dr. Devi Charan Shetty, is the best professor there is. His way of speaking and teaching makes an impact on his students. He is the HOD of Oral Pathology Department. The dean of UG students, Dr. Piyush Kumar, who is also the head of Orthodontics is also a great professor. He helps students in such a way, that they always feel at home and at ease. He helps the students academically and professionally. There are 3 different kinds of exams. The 1st term exams in December (35% syllabus), the 2nd term exams in March (70% syllabus) and then finally the Professional Exams in July (100% syllabus).
