Greetings everyone! Welcome back to another blog post about MDS admission and the MDS fee structure for deemed universities in India.
I am Vishnu Nambiar, a dental blogger and career counsellor with more than 12 years of experience in the career guidance industry.
In this post, I will be giving you a complete idea about the MDS fee structure in deemed universities. Apart from that, I will also explain the admission procedures, documentation, and more.
Recently, the deemed universities have gained momentum amid the doctors who plan for postgraduation after BDS. The deemed dental colleges are affiliated with the respective deemed universities. Confused? Allow me to give you a small overview of what these are deemed universities.
In our country, a deemed or deemed-to-be university is an accreditation given to higher educational institutions by the Ministry of Education. The University Grants Commission of India recognizes them. And are fully autonomous. They run their courses, curriculum, and admissions and even conduct their exams independently. Multiple courses and colleges are affiliated with them, including their own medical and dental colleges.

MDS Fee Structure of Deemed Universities
As I have mentioned previously, the demand for deemed universities is rising every day between MDS aspirants. This emerging popularity is attributed to the fact that most of these institutes are well-furnished with both basic and advanced technologies, instil modern curricula, have good research facilities, and have experienced faculties.
So, coming to the fees, all dental institutes display a wide range of fees based on the speciality and the institutional management.
Also, I have received a lot of queries concerning the fee structure for MDS courses in these dental institutes. I do get that, an idea of the fee structure helps the aspiring MDS candidates to plan the budget for the three-year course. So, I have added the details of the fee structure of MDS in deemed universities, which is as follows:

The fee structure mentioned here doesn’t include the accommodation charges and any miscellaneous fees of the colleges. Hence, while you consider the annual fees, you can assume a sum of 1 Lakh to 1.5 Lakh for the hostel and food.
Miscellaneous fees might or might not be present in every college. However, since the MDS curriculum is designed with a lot of practical applications, considering an additional 70 thousand to 1 lakh yearly will be helpful while you plan the budget for MDS.
