About the College

Malla Reddy Institute of Dental Sciences (MRIDS), Hyderabad, is a private dental college set up in 2011, located within the Malla Reddy Health City campus at Suraram, Hyderabad. It is a constituent college of Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth (Deemed to be University).

The college is recognised by the Dental Council of India and approved by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. Since it operates under deemed university status, BDS admission here doesn't go through Telangana state counselling - it goes through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), the same central body that handles admissions for deemed universities across India.

Seats are filled through All India Quota / Deemed University quota, along with Management and NRI quota, based on the current admission rules for the year. Being part of Malla Reddy Health City gives students access to a large hospital network for clinical training, alongside sister institutions like Malla Reddy Dental College for Women.

Note on recent status change: MRIDS (along with its sister college, Malla Reddy Dental College for Women) was newly granted Deemed-to-be-University status in 2025. If you come across older articles online mentioning KNRUHS or Telangana state counselling for this college, that reflects the pre-2025 position — current admissions run through MCC.

Why Choose Malla Reddy Institute of Dental Sciences?

Eligibility Criteria for BDS

• Passed Class 12 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as compulsory subjects
• General category candidates need at least 50% aggregate in PCB; reserved category candidates need 40%
• Must have qualified NEET-UG, conducted by NTA
• Should be at least 17 years old by December 31 of the admission year

Note: The minimum age rule has seen legal changes in recent years, so it's worth checking the latest NDC/DCI notification.

Admission Process

Since MRIDS is a deemed university, admission follows the MCC process, not state counselling.

Note: MCC counselling for deemed universities typically runs across Round 1, Round 2, a Mop-Up Round, and a Stray Vacancy Round - the first three are conducted online by MCC, while the Stray Vacancy round is handled directly by the university. Management Quota and NRI admissions, if applicable, follow a separate process set by the institution - confirm directly with the college.

Course Duration & Fee Structure

Fee structures do get revised year to year, so it's worth confirming the exact figure before counselling.
