BVDU Pune MDS FAQs
Ques. Is the ₹31,03,000 BVDU MDS fee fixed for all three years or can it increase?
Ans. The stated total of ₹31,03,000 is based on the current first-year tuition of ₹9,98,000. BVDU policy permits a revision of up to 5 percent on the tuition component each year, which means the second and third year tuition figures can be higher than ₹9,98,000. The admission fee, examination charges, and caution deposit are fixed. Students should budget for the possibility that the final three-year outflow exceeds ₹31,03,000 if the annual revision is applied.
Ques. Can I get BVDU Pune MDS admission directly without MCC counselling?
Ans. No. All MDS seats at BVDU Dental College and Hospital are filled through MCC Dental PG centralised counselling at mcc.nic.in. There is no management quota or direct institutional route outside MCC. Candidates must register on the MCC portal, participate in counselling rounds, and receive a seat allotment letter before reporting to the college for enrolment.
Ques. Which BVDU MDS specialisation gives better career prospects?
Ans. BVDU Dental College and Hospital is a high-volume tertiary dental centre, so clinical exposure is strong across all seven specialisations. Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery typically see the highest private practice demand. Most MDS graduates from BVDU Pune set up independent dental practices or join hospital dental departments, corporate chains, and dental institutions rather than seeking formal campus placements.
Ques. Does BVDU Pune accept NEET-MDS scores from previous years for MDS 2026 admission?
Ans. No. Only a valid NEET-MDS 2026 score is accepted for the 2026-27 MDS batch at BVDU Pune. NEET-MDS scores are year-specific and not carried forward. Candidates who appeared in earlier cycles must reappear in NEET-MDS 2026 to be eligible for the current admissions round.
Ques. Is the ₹25,000 caution deposit at BVDU Pune actually refunded after MDS?
Ans. Yes, the caution deposit of ₹25,000 is refundable on successful completion of the MDS programme and clearance of all library, laboratory, and hostel dues. The refund is processed through the BVDU finance office after submission of the no-dues certificate at the time of degree collection. Candidates who withdraw before completing the programme or have outstanding dues may face deductions from the deposit amount.
