Overview
About College of Dental Sciences, Davangere
College of Dental Sciences, Davangere is a dental college in Davangere, Karnataka, established in 1991. College of Dental Sciences, Davangere is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore. Its programmes are approved by the DCI. College of Dental Sciences, Davangere offers 10 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 9 at postgraduate level. These include Bachelor in Dental Surgery (BDS), Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) – Oral Medicine & Radiology, Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) – Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) – Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry and Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) – Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 147 seats. Official college pages identify this as College of Dental Sciences, Davangere, under Bapuji Educational Association, affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences and recognised by the Dental Council of India. The official site reports BDS and MDS courses, with MDS available in nine dental specialties, and states that PhD courses have commenced in Oral Medicine, Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics, Orthodontics and Periodontics. The college’s official pages conflict on establishment year (1991 versus 1995); the principal page and current homepage use 1991. Bapuji Hospital is named only as a nearby landmark (“beside Bapuji Hospital”), so it has not been attributed as the college’s parent hospital. The college website states DCI recognition, RGUHS affiliation and NAAC accreditation, but no NAAC certificate or grade was located. The numeric campus fact is the college's stated BDS annual intake, not a current regulator-sanctioned 2026-27 seat figure.
