Multiple learning strategies are used. Interactive lectures are used to provide students

entrance to topic needing much effort by the student to understand subject matter. We have

used Problem based learning to integrate basic and clinical sciences, and give a learning

experience that is contextual, realistic, and relevant. Small group discussions encourage

students to social learning bring their concepts and learning to be discussed and schemas

corrected and refined. Working in labs provides experiential, hand on learning.

Time table / Structured Training Program

The colleges shall make their own structured training program, taking care of recommended

teaching hours in a subject as described by PM&DC.

Internal Assessment.

The weightage of internal assessment shall be 10 % in 1st professional BDS Examination.

Examination.

There will be two mid-term & term examinations followed by a pre-Annual and an annual

examination each year.

The structure of the paper of all the term examinations and pre-annual will be same as

that for annual examination though syllabus will be different.

The structure of Mid-term exam will be exactly half of the term exam. The syllabus

for mid-term & term examinations will be announced by the department at least

02 weeks prior to examination.

Pre-annual examination will be from whole syllabus.

The date sheet for mid-term, term and pre-annual examinations will be published by

Examination branch of college while the examinations will be conducted by respective

department.

The result will be submitted to examination branch for record.

The University shall take the 1st professional Examination as per PM&DC guidelines at the

end of the academic year. Annual Theory & Practical Examination shall be of 100 marks each

in; Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry and Oral Biology and Tooth Morphology. The pass

score shall be 50% in theory and practical separately.
