MDS at SRK University is a 3-year postgraduate dental degree offered across 8 specializations at RKDF Dental College & Research Centre in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Running since 2014, the programme offers 34 seats university-wide for 2026-27, open to BDS graduates through NEET-MDS.

Eligibility
MDS at SRK University covers all 8 major dental specialization areas at RKDF Dental College, all running since 2014 — giving the postgraduate dental programme a decade of consistent institutional history. Specializations span restorative fields like Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics and Prosthodontics, surgical fields like Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, and diagnostic fields like Oral Pathology & Microbiology.
Seat distribution is fairly even across most specializations at 5 seats each, with Oral Pathology & Microbiology running the smallest cohort at 2 seats — reflecting its more specialized, laboratory-oriented scope compared to clinically broader specialties like Periodontology or Orthodontics.
Training combines specialty-specific clinical postings with laboratory and diagnostic work at RKDF Dental College’s attached hospital, giving MDS candidates continuity with the same patient base and faculty many trained under during BDS. For BDS graduates in Madhya Pradesh, this is currently the state’s most comprehensive single-institution dental postgraduate offering.

All 3-year programmes conclude with a thesis submission and specialization-specific clinical/practical examination.
