Hello student,

The fees for a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) course under the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category vary depending on whether you’re attending a government or private dental college. Here’s an outline of the typical structure:

1. Government Dental Colleges : Generally, EWS students are eligible for subsidized tuition fees. Tuition may range from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 60,000 per year, though some government institutions offer lower fees based on state policies.
   
   

2. Private Dental Colleges : Even with the EWS reservation, fees are generally higher in private colleges. Annual tuition can range from Rs. 2 to 5 lakh, depending on the college and state. However, some private institutions may offer fee waivers or financial aid under the EWS quota.
   
   

3. Hostel Fees : For government colleges, hostel fees are typically between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 40,000 per year, whereas private colleges may charge between Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1 lakh annually, depending on the facilities provided. Some colleges might provide additional concessions for EWS students in hostel fees.

It’s best to confirm the exact fees with the specific college you’re interested in, as fee structures can differ significantly across institutions.
