About

SMBT Institute of Dental Sciences & Research, located in Dhamangaon, Nashik, is a well-regarded private dental college established in 2001. Affiliated with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), Nashik, and recognised by the Dental Council of India (DCI), the institute holds an 'A' grade accreditation from NAAC. For the 2025 session, it has secured a rank of 25th among private dental colleges across India by the Indian Institutional Ranking Framework (IIRF), making it a significant choice for aspiring dentists in the region. When it comes to academics, the college primarily offers the undergraduate Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program and postgraduate Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) degrees across several specialisations. Admission to the flagship BDS course is strictly based on the candidate's NEET UG score, with seat allocation managed through state-level counselling. For the 2025 academic year, the annual tuition fee for the BDS program is approximately INR 4.5 lakhs. This fee structure is exclusive of other charges like hostel and mess facilities. Talking about career prospects, the dental field operates differently from typical placement drives. After completing the four-year BDS course, students undergo a mandatory one-year paid rotating internship. For the batch graduating in 2026, the expected monthly internship stipend is projected to be around INR 14,000. While most BDS graduates either opt for higher studies (MDS) or start their own clinical practice, postgraduate students often receive offers from corporate dental chains and hospitals. The median salary package for MDS graduates in 2025 was recorded at around INR 9 LPA.
