Seema Dental College &Hospital ,Rishikesh

About

Seema Dental College & Hospital, located in the serene environment of Rishikesh, is a private institution established in 2002. It is affiliated with the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), Dehradun, and holds recognition from the Dental Council of India (DCI). While it may not feature in national-level NIRF rankings, its DCI approval ensures that its curriculum and infrastructure meet the required standards for dental education in the country. The college primarily offers the undergraduate Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program and postgraduate Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) courses across several specializations. For students aiming for the 2025 academic session, admission to the BDS course is strictly based on the NEET UG score, followed by the state-level counselling conducted by HNBUMU. Similarly, MDS admissions are determined by NEET MDS ranks. The annual tuition fee for the BDS program is approximately INR 3.25 lakhs for students admitted through the state quota. Unlike engineering colleges, dental institutions focus on clinical practice and internships rather than traditional campus placements. After completing the four-year BDS course, students undertake a mandatory one-year paid rotating internship at the college's hospital, which is crucial for practical exposure. Based on trends from previous years, graduates in 2025 and 2026 are expected to either pursue higher studies for an MDS degree, join established hospitals, or venture into private practice, which remain the most common career paths for dental graduates.
