DCI Notice to Prevent BDS, MDS Admission Irregularities, notifies penalty for dental colleges

Through a recent notice, the Dental Council of India (DCI) has urged the MCC, all counselling authorities, Universities and DMEs to take necessary steps to implement the recommendations of the Detailed project Report (DPR) and to prepare counselling schedule accordingly so that the counselling process should be completed one week before the last date of admission. As well as an action taken report in this regard may also be sent to this Council for submission before the Hon'ble High Court on the next date of hearing of the instant court case, the DCI said.

There have been numerous reports of irregularities committed by some dental colleges of India every year in admitting students to Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) courses. These irregularities often involve admitting students after the cutoff date and failing to submit necessary details and documents to the Dental Council of India (DCI) and the affiliating universities.
