The Dental Council of India (DCI) has issued a public circular directing all universities and dental colleges across the country to strictly ensure a minimum of 80 percent biometric attendance for all postgraduate dental students before permitting them to appear in examinations.
The directive, issued on January 19, 2026, follows a review by the Grievance Sub-Committee of the DCI during its meeting held on November 24, 2025. The committee examined multiple complaints received through emails regarding the non-attendance of PG students in dental colleges located in Rajasthan, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
