No. 1: MAULANA AZAD INSTITUTE OF DENTAL SCIENCES
5 REASONS WHY IT IS THE BEST Whether it is public health dentistry, oral radiology, oral microbiology or preventive dentistry, the Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences (MAIDS)—located in the heart of Central Delhi—has dedicated faculty across all major and emerging fields of dentistry.
Declared a 'Centre of Excellence' by the Delhi government, MAIDS boasts best-in-class infrastructure. From dental chairs to digital units, every facility is state-of-the-art and fully operational. Its advanced tissue bank ranks among the best in India, producing graft materials to global standards.
With just 50 BDS seats, the institute attracts top-ranking students through both national and state quotas. A strong culture of discipline, clinical precision and academic excellence defines the student community.
MAIDS is also a hub for innovation. It is the only dental college in North India to host a DST- and ICMR-funded research and dental technology innovation hub, offering students hands-on access to cutting-edge projects with full institutional support.
The institute's reach extends beyond its campus. Through six mobile dental vans under the National Health Mission, students provide care in rural and underserved areas, gaining invaluable real-world experience.
