of course in pre-u studies if study degree...

The ipts will "gladly facilitate" your dream with a foundation in science.

Its mainly because of fee structures. (I came from a mediocre family..I couldn't afford expensive universities..)

PIDC - 247k (included all the basic fees for 5 years and first 2 years accommodations in india but not 3 years later in penang. Just that the Living expenses, dental materials are excluded.)

AIMST - 250k ( excluded basic fees, accommodations, living expenses, dental materials)

Manipal - 260k ( excluded basic fees, accommodations, living expenses, dental materials)

SeGi - 306k (Full years local in SEGI, Included basic fees, excluded accommodations, living expenses, dental materials and IELTS Test fee) SEGI requires language test with band score 6.5 and above.

IMU - 475k (Full years local in IMU, excluded Basic fees, accommodations, living expenses, dental materials and IELTS Test fee) IMU requires a language test with band score 7.0 and above. *the annual tuition fee subject to change in every year* (u expect to pay more in every year..so, by the time u graduated, the tuition fee will be more than 475k.)

The fee structures stated above is updated to the latest for 2012 intakes. I didn't include mahsa becuz i cant get the information regarding that uni, im sorry. so as u can see, PIDC cheapest, so that's why. This is just my humble opinion though. To me, no matter which college you graduated from, it doesn't change the fact that your going to be a dentist when you graduated. So, what for to op for schools which is so expensive when u can get the same degree from a cheaper school? This depends on you, certain ppl thinks qualities of education comes with higher price. But Im the kind of independent student who will survive through harsh situations with poor facilities..as long as i can graduate to become a dentist.

For more info regarding how good and helpful are the lecturers in each uni, i can't tell becuz i have never studied in any uni above. All i can say is each school has their pros and cons. Cheap schools have poor facilities, but doesn't mean poor quality in education. And Expensive schools not necessarily have better quality in education, but good facilities are definite. Good luck.

I believe PIDC is really value for money...... and these are genuine educators and genuine business concerns.

Non-crony educational institutions is the way to go, for local ipts.

for your information, aimst dental degree had been recognised by mdc since last year...pidc not so good since it provides twinning to india, n some of my frens who study thr oso complain that the environment in india is quite dirty..
For Imu, it is definitely overprice if u wan to study locally, go thr only if u wish to take up it's twinning programme..it does not have a proper campus environment like aimst university...

if u look into money wise n quality wise, aimst university should be ur 1st priority...thx..

heyy hanying:)
i already registered to segi dentistry,basically to reserve a seat:D

Hey guys... I guess this'll be my first time posting here.. noticed the existence of this thread for a while now..

Umm.. u see.. I was a Form 5 student last year.. took my SPM..

Obviously, I was in science stream, and took English for Science and Technology and ICT as extra subs..

Umm.. I'm very scared right now, being a dentist has been one of my very few ambitions and so far I think the career that I'm most interested in would be dentistry.. my SPM results are coming out.. in 10 days' time..

If I'm not wrong most private unis in Malaysia offering dental courses (I know SEGi is one of them, some other unis didn't mention) require our SPM to have at least B in all 5 subjects (Math, Add. Math, Biology, Chem, Physics) even if we do freaking well in our Pre-U studies, they would still take a look at our SPM results...

So what would happen if I got less than a B in one of those subs? For example if I got a C for my Add math.. does this mean that I will not have anymore chances to study dentistry locally? Can anyone please clarify for me? D:

Yes, if your SPM results didn't meet satisfactory requirement, technically u're not eligible to apply for dental course. I got a batch mate who did well in his a levels, but in his SPM his biology got a C though. Initially he was aiming to be doctor, so when he got his a level result he was so happy. But recently i heard from him the colleges refuse to accept him for the SPM result. But in the end after some long negotiation, the college did give him a conditional offer. Good luck.

Well, it's bio.. I guess it's the most important sub, but what about others like add math? If I got a C, will I become ineligible?

do u visit the segi campus?how's the environment?segi do provide the accomodation?any +ve or -ve feedback?
if register need pay RM 500 right?
u hv registered other uni like mahsa?

conditional on what?......

ya..i went there for several times n i met the dentistry dean too
the facility is quite satisfying la..u should go n have a look
if i'm not mistaken,there is hostel for students ..hmmm
negative or positive feedback??hmmmm there is always good and bad in a any courses..as long as we perform the best we can,then shouldnt be any problem..
ya..i paid 500 for the registration..
just for ur information,seats for dentistry are very limited...)
i went to mahsa b4,basically there is no campus life..n the environment there wasn't so good..hmmmm

i might be apply both segi and mahsa since now i m waiting for offer letter from mahsa...and i also pay abt 2,000 for registration fee...now i worry abt which uni will be recognised by mdc...
i have visit mahsa juc campus b4 to register pharm course but after thinking twice i decided to study dentistry although my a level result is bad...
do u know how many seats do segi provided?
u confirmed to study at segi?
is it dentistry for segi and mahsa at damansara area?

??

wow..why did u pay so much for the registration? 2,ooo? segi or mahsa..?
hmmm about the mdc stuff,there is a list

http://mdc.moh.gov.my/uploads/Section%2012(1).pdf



note that imu mahsa segi are not inside the list because the first batch students haven't graduated..once the uni first batch has came out,the uni will get accreditation from MDC..so i guess u no need to worry so much bout this..
seats for dentistry usually won't exceed tiill 100 ..hmmm.
ya..segi damamsara main campus and for mahsa it's at damamsara too..
u sud visit the campus at damansara..not JUC..since dentistry course is conducted at damamsara campus..not JUC campus..hmmm
i visited the damamsara campus n i found out the environment there is very terrible..hmmm

they told him that he has to get some good grades during the exams, if not he's getting "kicked" off the course. scary isn't it?

hi everyone,

im suggesting that we put info on local colleges offering dentistry in the first post (on requirements, fee structure, student review, etc). That will be very helpful for info seekers, and basically for everyone to refer at. Or maybe someone can start a new thread for this purpose?

Dear Student,

Thank you for your email.

We regret to inform that you do not possess the minimum grade in SPM and therefore you are required to re-sit for the Chemistry paper. The entry requirement may change from time to time as per Ministry of Higher Education’s requirement.

Even though your pre-u results are good, we will still need to consider your SPM.


Thanks & Regards,
Sumathi,
Melaka Manipal Medical College
