Penang International Dental College ( PIDC ) Sept Intake

[ShortEducated]

Any ReCom members out there ever heard of it or applied for their upcoming september intake for the course in Bachelor of dental surgery (BDS) ? I am somewhat in doubt of whether this college is of quality as it is new in Malaysia ( Just started early this year ) but the degree comes from a somewhat established deemed university in India. The course is layed out such that the students do 2 years of preclinical studies in India before returning to complete the remaining 3 years of their clinical studies in Kepala Batas, Penang.

Please advise me if this is a wise undertaking :? They can be found at http://www.pidc.edu.my

My friend is currently studying at their campus there in India, doing the twinning programme. She told me a few things. Apparently, they don't mix with the locals over there. She claims her hostel to be a mini Malaysia. And it seems the local Indians over there are quite slow. O_o

is it recognized?.... cause i check jpa and its not listed there.... so...

[cheanrocks]

Nope, it is not recognized yet I think. Because this college is quite new.

We can't get accreditation yet since our 1st batch hasn't graduated, but currently we're under supervision by the MDA council. Our certificate when we graduate though will be from Vinayaka Missions Uni. Which experience you want to talk about? Being in Salem,India or back to Butterworth. Msia?
