Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Mangalore

MCODS Mangalore graduates commonly pursue MDS specialisation (including at MAHE's own campuses), private practice across Karnataka and Kerala, corporate dental chain roles, government dental officer positions, or licensing pathways abroad.

The mandatory 1-year rotating internship is completed within MCODS Mangalore's own dental hospital across all specialities — a Dental Council of India (now National Dental Commission) requirement before BDS graduates can register to practise.
