Overview
About Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal
Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal is a dental college in Manipal, Karnataka, established in 1965. It is affiliated to Manipal Academy of Higher Education. Its programmes are approved by the DCI. Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal offers 7 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 1 at postgraduate level. These include BDS, MDS, Integrated Dental Photography, Aesthetic Dentistry and Oral Implantology, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 100 seats. MCODS Manipal is a constituent unit of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), an Institution of Eminence deemed-to-be university. The 2026-27 official BDS admission document confirms admission through DGHS/MCC Common Counselling using NEET 2026. The official 2026-27 MDS document confirms NEET 2026/MCC allotment documentation and lists nine MDS specialties, but does not publish regulator-sanctioned 2026-27 intake figures. MCODS's FAQ describes annual examinations and three internal examinations per year. The FAQ states that MCODS is attached to Kasturba Hospital, Manipal; the hospital page identifies Kasturba Hospital as a 2,032-bed NABH-accredited teaching hospital associated with KMC/MAHE. Historical university affiliations were Mysore University (1965-1980) and Mangalore University (1980-1993); current constituent status is MAHE. It was formerly College of Dental Surgery and became a constituent of MAHE in 1993. The official 2026-27 BDS and MDS admission documents were published, but the retrieved material does not provide a regulator letter reference or exact sanctioned intake by programme. The college reports 340+ dental chairs; no exact dental OPD-per-day figure was published in the retrieved official pages. The 100 BDS and 35 MDS figures are college-reported annual intakes, not regulator-sanctioned intake.
