Overview
About Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences
Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences is a dental college in Puducherry, Puducherry, established in 2006. It is affiliated to Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University). Its programmes are approved by the DCI. Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences offers 10 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 9 at postgraduate level. These include Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) – Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics, Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) – Orthodontics, Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) – Prosthodontics and Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) – Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 127 seats. Official sources identify the institution as Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, Pondicherry, an on-campus constituent college of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (deemed university), established in 2006. The regulator list distinguishes it from the similarly named Kerala college. The official site describes BDS and multiple MDS programmes, DCI approval, advanced dental clinics, CBCT/OPG/RVG imaging, a 3-D printing lab and dental-materials laboratories, but does not provide a supported numerical laboratory count, faculty total, hospital bed count, dental OPD/day figure, or named attached dental hospital in the reviewed pages. The principal is Prof. Dr. Aruna Sharma/Dr. Aruna: BDS, MDS (Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry), MBA (HR Management) and M.Sc. (Counseling and Psychotherapy). The 80% attendance rule is explicitly stated for BDS and postgraduate students. The cited MCC PDF is historical: it is titled “TENTATIVE SEAT MATRIX FOR ROUND 1 DEEMED UNIVERSITIES (BDS) UG 2021”; its 100-seat entry is not carried forward as a 2025-26 or 2026-27 intake. The current official MCC pages opened here expose 2025 UG counselling materials but do not provide a verified 2026-27 college-specific seat figure. The DCI/NDC college-search page lists the institution as established 2006-07 and private, but the extracted current entry does not provide a 2025-26 permitted-seat figure or college code.
