Different types of dental colleges in India
Based on the entity that owns the college, dental colleges in India can be broadly classified into two types – Government dental colleges and private dental colleges. Government dental colleges are owned and managed by relevant departments of the State or Central Government. On the other hand, private dental colleges are owned and managed by private educational and/or charitable trusts.
It is a well-known fact that Govt dental colleges provide subsidized education to students. These colleges charge relatively lower tuition fees. On the other hand, private colleges are known to charge relatively higher tuition fees. This is the main reason why candidates prefer Government dental colleges over private ones.
