Overview
About Vinayaka Mission's Sankarachariyar Dental College
Vinayaka Mission's Sankarachariyar Dental College is a dental college in Salem, Tamil Nadu, established in 1986. It is affiliated to Vinayaka Mission's Research Foundation (Deemed to be University). Its programmes are approved by the DCI. Vinayaka Mission's Sankarachariyar Dental College offers 12 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 9 at postgraduate level. These include BDS Bachelor of Dental Surgery, MDS (Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics), MDS (Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics), MDS (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery) and MDS (Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge), among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 100 seats. For 2026-27, the official prospectus states 100 BDS seats, annual examinations, MCC/DGHS centralized counselling, and recognition by the National Dental Commission (formerly DCI). The college is a constituent of Vinayaka Mission's Research Foundation (Deemed to be University), established in 1986 and located at Ariyanoor, Salem. The college website identifies Prof. Dr. J. Baby John, MDS, as Dean, while a separate VMRF grievance page identifies Dr. E. Rathnasabapathi as Principal; the current principal qualification is not established by the cited pages. The college website describes a Central Research Laboratory and lists eight publication entries, but the entries contain placeholder data and no reliable publication count, patents, funded-project count, or recognised-guide count was established. The cited About Us page does not state college code 402. The code is retained only because it is stated verbatim in the official VMRF BDS information PDF, which names this exact college and the deemed university. The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University page opened for the historical affiliated-institutions list identifies code 402 as Madras ENT Research Foundation, not this college; that older/unrelated entry is not used for the current affiliation.
