Why choose Srinivas, Mangalore?

Srinivas 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 Mangalore adds the advantage of a 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 Srinivas, 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 Srinivas 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.
