About KGMU Faculty of Dental Sciences
King George's Medical University traces its origins to 1911 as King George's Medical College, one of India's oldest medical institutions, located in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Its Faculty of Dental Sciences operates within this much larger, multi-disciplinary government university framework, offering BDS and MDS programmes across major dental specialities.
Being embedded within a full medical university gives KGMU dental students access to a broader hospital ecosystem and cross-specialty clinical exposure — for example in oral-maxillofacial trauma cases — that is harder to replicate at standalone dental colleges.
Campus & Clinical Facilities
KGMU's Lucknow campus is one of India's largest government medical university campuses, with dedicated dental hospital facilities alongside the university's broader network of specialty hospitals. This scale gives dental students substantial patient volume and case diversity, including complex referred cases from across Uttar Pradesh.
