Raja Rajeshwari BDS fees in Bangalore (2026-27, official KEA)
BDS fee tiers at RajaRajeswari Dental College and Hospital under the official Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) fee structure for 2026-27. Every figure below is for one year — the order states the fees in rupees per one year, so nothing here should be multiplied out into a course total by the reader; BDS runs five years including the rotating internship, and the fee for later years is set by the order for each cycle, not by this one.
📌 In one line: the government quota costs ₹95,308 a year and every other route costs five to seven times that, so your NEET rank is worth far more here than any negotiation.
| Quota | Fee per year (KEA, 2026-27) | Reading note |
|---|---|---|
| Government quota (KEA merit, NEET) | ₹95,308 | This is the rate KEA fixes, not a price the college sets, so there is nothing here to negotiate and nobody who can get it for you. The seat is allotted on NEET rank alone. |
| Private quota | ₹5,11,950 | The next tier up, still filled through KEA counselling on NEET merit. It is a fee tier, not a separate “direct” entry route. |
| Management quota | ₹6,61,950 | Same figure as the NRI tier in the 2026-27 order for this college. Still requires a qualified NEET-UG score. |
| NRI quota | ₹6,61,950 | KEA sets NRI at the same ₹6,61,950 as management here. Equal management and NRI tiers are the normal pattern in this order rather than an oddity, so an NRI seat is not automatically the dearer one — check the tier you actually qualify for. |
Official source: Karnataka Examinations Authority, College-wise Fee Structure 2026-27 (BDS), notified by Government Order MED 207 RGU 2026 dated 14 August 2026. The college is listed there under KEA code D114.
Includes: the KEA-regulated course fee for the quota shown, for one academic year. Excludes: hostel and mess, which are billed separately, and any further heads the college publishes in its own fee circular — university registration, examination, caution deposit and similar. The KEA order regulates the course fee; it does not cap what a college charges for accommodation.
💡 Evidence note: these are the 2026-27 figures. Fee orders are reissued every admission cycle, so check the academic year printed on any fee figure you are shown — including ours — before you pay, and read it against the college's own circular for the heads KEA does not regulate.
BDS eligibility
- BDS: Pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology and a qualified NEET-UG score. Admission is through counselling — Karnataka state quota via KEA, 15% All India Quota via MCC, plus management/NRI seats.
- 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 RajaRajeswari Dental
Official fee tiers for RajaRajeswari Dental are listed in the fee table above. The government / KEA-merit seat is always the most affordable route at RajaRajeswari Dental 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) ~1,08,546 (NEET-UG All-India rank); 84 seats allotted in Round 1. Reserved-category, management & NRI seats close at higher (numerically larger) ranks. 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 RajaRajeswari Dental, Bangalore?
RajaRajeswari Dental 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 RajaRajeswari Dental, 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 RajaRajeswari Dental 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.
