Inspired By Excellence & Innovation
20+ Years of Service, Excellence & Creating Smiles
Kalinga Institute of Dental Sciences (KIDS) stands as one of Odisha’s and India’s leading dental institutions,
committed to shaping competent oral health professionals through rigorous academic training, hands-on clinical
exposure, and cutting-edge research.
Academically, the college began with an intake of 50 undergraduate (BDS) students, which was later increased
to 100 by the Dental Council of India (DCI) from 2011 onwards. KIDS was affiliated to Utkal University for
two years (2007–2008) before becoming part of KIIT Deemed to be University in 2009 — a milestone that
further strengthened its academic foundation. The institution is recognised by the National Dental Commission
and the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India.
Building on this strong foundation, KIDS received DCI approval to commence its postgraduate (MDS)
programme in 2014, initially across eight specialties and expanding to all nine specialties by 2017. In 2020, the
Academic Council of KIIT Deemed to be University further approved the launch of PhD programmes across all
nine branches of Dentistry, cementing KIDS as a prime centre for dental education and research.
At the heart of this institution is a team of highly competent, committed, and experienced faculty and
administrators, who have cultivated a learning environment that is intellectually stimulating, clinically rigorous,
and deeply impactful for every student who walks through its doors.
Vision
KIDS envisions itself as a premier academic dental healthcare centre — a transformative resource for the people of Odisha, India, and beyond, driving excellence in education, compassionate patient care, and pioneering research:

Management Cells

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows
Mentoring Students at Kalinga Institute of Dental Sciences (KIDS) contributes significantly to the academic, Clinical and emotional wellbeing of our students. A student, attached to a faculty mentor for five years, develops a special bond with the faculty, resulting in greater exchange of ideas and improved career guidance. To make the mentoring rigorous and value adding, faculty members keep a detailed record of their mentee and track his/her performance and attendance regularly. A monthly mentoring report is created by the faculty and overall mentoring effectiveness is monitored regularly by the college management.
ANTI RAGGING COMMITTEE
As per DCI regulations on curbing the menace of ragging, it is the responsibility of KIDS to ensure that no incidence of Ragging takes place. As per the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s direction, KIDS has its own Anti-Ragging committee and Anti-Ragging squad which works to maintain a Ragging-free campus. There is also a Monitoring cell on Ragging at the University level.
