Confronting challenges in post graduate admissions in our profession

Dear Friends, M of us have taken up academics as our profession and are keenly observing the developments in our field from close quarters over several years. Some of us are holding key administrative positions in the hierarchy of the Dental colleges while the others are involved in the departmental working and developments. Each one of us will agree that indeed the Dental profession as a whole is going through rough weathers and turbulent times in the present scenario, considering the admission status of the post graduate courses in various of the states and many institutes. The problem seems to be of offerings being plenty without appropriate opportunities and do not seem to be any speciality specific. It is almost a situation wherein the post graduate seats in each and every speciality seem to be available even at the last rounds of the counselling.
