College Overview — Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences & Hospital at a glance
| Institute Name | Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences & Hospital |
|---|---|
| Also Known As | BIDS, Bengaluru |
| Institute Type | Private minority (linguistic and religious) dental college — not a government college, so only the KEA merit seats here carry the government-quota fee. Affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Bengaluru; recognised by the Dental Council of India. NAAC grade: not listed. |
| Established | 1991, by the Vignan Educational Foundation |
| Location | Hosur Main Road, Lakkasandra, adjacent to the NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bengaluru, Karnataka – 560027 |
| Degree Offered | BDS — four years of academic study plus a one-year compulsory rotating internship, as the college’s own undergraduate admissions page describes it. MDS is offered across nine specialities. |
| BDS Intake | 60 seats per year. The college’s undergraduate admissions page states “Total intake of under graduate students : 60 per year” — read that as the seats available each admission cycle, not the total student body. |
| Exams Accepted | NEET-UG, and nothing else — there is no BDS admission without it. Seats are then filled through KEA (Karnataka state quota), MCC (15% All-India Quota) and the management / NRI quota. |
| Institute Code | D118 — the Karnataka Examinations Authority’s code for this college. You type it into KEA’s UGNEET option entry to put this college on your preference list, and you look for it in KEA’s seat-allotment and fee lists, where colleges appear by code rather than by the name people use for them. |

BDS fees at Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences, Bangalore (2025-26, official KEA)
BDS fee tiers at Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences & Hospital per the official Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) 2025-26 fee structure (per year, incl. RGUHS registration):
📌 In one line: the KEA government / merit seat is ₹95,308 a year — the same figure every private dental college in Karnataka charges on that tier — while every other tier here costs several times more. Your NEET rank, not the college, decides which of these you pay.
| Quota | Annual fee (2025-26) | Route |
|---|---|---|
| Government / KEA-merit (NEET) | ₹95,308 | KEA state-quota seat |
| Private / Management (P) | ₹4,46,950 | KEA management quota / COMEDK |
| Other / COMEDK (Q) | ₹4,86,950 | COMEDK / other-state quota |
| NRI (N) | ₹4,86,950 | NRI quota |
What the figure covers — and what it does not. Each amount above is the KEA-regulated course fee for the seat tier named, charged per year. Excluded: hostel and mess, and the one-time or refundable heads — caution deposit, university examination fees — that appear on the college’s own demand note; a college’s published structure may also carry heads KEA does not regulate. Do not multiply these to reach a course total. The fee is re-notified each admission year, so a five-year figure worked out from one year’s tuition is a projection of your own making, not a published fee.
💡 The Government/KEA-merit seat is the cheapest route (₹95,308/yr, uniform across Karnataka private dental colleges); management/COMEDK & NRI tiers cost more. Source: KEA provisional BDS fee structure 2025-26. Confirm the current figure at counselling.
BDS eligibility
- BDS: Pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology (PCB) and a qualified NEET-UG score. Admission in Karnataka is via counselling — KEA (state quota), MCC (15% All India Quota) and management/NRI quota. KEA college code: D118.
- Admission requires a qualified NEET-UG score — there is no BDS admission without NEET.
- Indian nationals; age & category norms as per DCI / RGUHS / Karnataka rules.
How to get BDS admission
Qualify NEET-UG, then participate in counselling: Karnataka KEA (state-quota merit seats), MCC (15% All-India Quota) and the college's management / NRI quota. Government and KEA-merit seats are filled purely on NEET rank — no management quota fees. Management & NRI seats are also NEET-qualified — beware agents promising "guaranteed" seats for cash.
Career & scope after BDS
BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is a 5-year programme (4 years + 1-year rotating internship) leading to registration as a dental surgeon. Graduates work in dental clinics & hospitals, set up private practice, pursue MDS specialisations (orthodontics, endodontics, oral & maxillofacial surgery, etc.), or roles in public health, academia and dental research; many also pursue licensure abroad.
Frequently asked questions
Fees, scholarships & funding BDS at Bangalore
Official fee tiers for Bangalore are listed in the fee table above. The government / KEA-merit seat is always the most affordable route at Bangalore and is allotted purely on merit — so a strong rank is the single best way to cut your cost. For management or NRI seats, plan funding early: education loans are available from SBI (Scholar Loan), HDFC Credila, Axis and most banks via the Vidya Lakshmi portal, often covering tuition plus hostel. Reserved-category students (SC/ST/OBC/Category-1) can claim Karnataka fee-reimbursement and post-matric scholarships through the Social Welfare / Backward Classes departments, and EWS and central-sector scholarships further reduce the net cost. Budget separately for hostel, mess and one-time charges in Bangalore, which are billed over and above the tuition shown above.

Admission is through NEET-UG followed by KEA (state quota), MCC (15% AIQ) and management/NRI quotas. 📊 2025 KEA Round-1 BDS closing rank: General (GM) ~96,736 (NEET-UG All-India rank); 43 seats allotted in Round 1. Reserved-category, management & NRI seats close at higher (numerically larger) ranks, and later/mop-up rounds go higher still. A round-by-round upgrade plan matters — many applicants lose a better seat by mis-ordering choices, so shortlist with the actual cut-off trend in mind.
Why choose Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences, Bangalore?
Bangalore gives students hands-on clinical/practical exposure through its attached teaching facilities and a structured internship, which is what employers and PG-entrance examiners value most. Studying in Bangalore adds the advantage of an established healthcare-education ecosystem, peer hospitals for postings, coaching for licensure/PG entrances, and good transport connectivity for students from across Karnataka and other states. When you shortlist Bangalore, weigh the fee tier you qualify for, the campus and hospital infrastructure, faculty strength and the internship stipend — not just the brand name.
After BDS: internship, registration & higher studies
The programme includes a compulsory rotating internship, after which graduates register with the Dental Council of India (DCI) and the state dental council to practise. From there the common paths are MDS specialisations (orthodontics, endodontics, oral & maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics, periodontics and more), or going straight into work — typical roles include clinical dentistry in hospitals and private practice, MDS specialisation, public-health dentistry, academia, and licensure abroad. Many Bangalore graduates also prepare during internship for PG-entrance exams or overseas licensure, so it pays to plan that timeline from the first year rather than the last.
