Overview
About A.B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences (ABSMIDS)
A B Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences is a dental college in Mangaluru, Karnataka, established in 1985. It is affiliated to Nitte (Deemed to be University). Its programmes are approved by the DCI. A B Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences offers 2 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 8 at postgraduate level. They are BDS and MDS. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 149 seats. Official site presents current ABSMIDS Admissions 2026-27. The college is also styled A B Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences / A.B. Shetty Dental College Hospital and is located at the NITTE Medical Sciences Complex, Deralakatte, Mangaluru. The official site states DCI recognition, a 425-chair dental teaching hospital, 21 rural dental health centres, and facilities including CBCT, CAD/CAM, operating microscopes and intra-oral scanners. It separately identifies Justice K S Hegde Charitable Hospital as a NABH-accredited 1,000-bed multispecialty hospital; that hospital is not attributed as the dental college's own hospital. The college operates under and is a constituent unit of Nitte (Deemed to be University). The college website states 425 chairs in its dental teaching hospital, but does not publish a dental OPD-per-day figure in the reviewed pages. The current 2026-27 admissions page lists BDS intake of 100 and MDS specialisation intakes, but programme-level permission letters and references for 2026-27 were not identifiable in the reviewed regulator pages. The attached dental hospital is referred to on the college site as A B Shetty Dental College Hospital; the Justice K S Hegde Charitable Hospital is a separate multispecialty hospital on the campus and is not merged into the dental-college facts.
