About the College

Sharad Pawar Dental College and Hospital (SPDCH), Wardha, was established in 1990-91 and is a constituent college of Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research (DMIHER), Deemed to be University, located in Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha district, Maharashtra, about 80 km from Nagpur.

The college is recognised by the Dental Council of India and has ranked well in NIRF's dental category in recent years (12th in 2022, 19th in 2021, 17th in 2023). It runs with 350+ dental chairs and holds the largest Maxillofacial Surgery setup in Central India, which is a meaningful differentiator if oral surgery interests you.

Since SPDCH is a deemed university college, BDS admission goes through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), not Maharashtra state counselling. Seats are offered under All India Quota / Deemed University quota, along with Management and NRI quota.

Cutoff (Closing All India Rank) & Fees

Category: UR. Closing ranks shift every year depending on how many students apply and how the rounds play out - use as a reference point, not a fixed number.

Note: Some sources cite figures closer to ₹4,75,000 - confirm the exact current-year fee directly with the college. The UR rank tightened steadily and sharply here, moving from around 8.3 lakh in Round 1 to about 3.6 lakh by Round 4 - a strong sign that demand builds meaningfully as counselling progresses. Check the latest MCC bulletin before you lock your choices.
