On behalf of the our C.K.S. Theja Institute of Dental sciences & Research, it gives me immense pleasure in welcoming the fresh batch of students joined in the Bachelor of Dental Surgery for the academic session 2020-21. They deserve congratulations for having succeeded in getting admission to the professional course. This is a very crucial period for all the students because they are entering the portals of the higher education. The professional course like Dentistry, consists of very difficult subjects, the syllabi are very heavy and the duration of the course is lengthy. Therefore, the students should learn and adapt to the new methods of teaching and training in professional colleges.

I recommend the students that they should visit library and museums at regular intervals. They should also adopt self-learning techniques. There are a number of books available in our library on the subjects like Communication Skills, How to read better? etc. Every dental student must acquire enough knowledge and skills to operate a computer.

The students should behave in a dignified manner both inside and outside the college premises because they have entered a noble profession and doctors always enjoy higher position in the society

Regular reading habits, sincere and honest effort for learning will help the student to achieve the objective of becoming a good dentist.

I wish all the best and very bright future to all the students.
