Agartala Govt Dental College gets Centre's approval for 3rd-Year BDS Course Renewal
Agartala- In a major development for dental education in Tripura, the Central government has given permission for renewal of third year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) course at Agartala Government Dental College and IGM Hospital for the academic session 2025-26. This development is a positive step for the state's dental education infrastructure, strengthening the commitment to quality standards.
The Tripura government has been officially informed of this decision through an order signed by the Under Secretary of the Government of India. As per the directive, renewal has been approved against the original admission capacity of 50 BDS seats. However, this is subject to compliance with the conditions mentioned in the undertaking submitted by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Tripura.
The official communication has further clarified that admission of students for the 2026-27 academic session will be permitted only if the Central Government grants permission or recognition for renewal of the BDS degree. Any deviation from this guideline will be treated as irregular and action may be taken under the provisions of the Dentists Act, 1948 and the relevant regulations.
