Certificate in Dental Science (Dental Hygiene) belongs to the technical health-education stream at Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital. It is separate from the institution's Kathmandu University-affiliated Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program.

The distinction is important for applicants because the two programs belong to different academic levels and affiliating systems. Dental Hygiene is offered as a CTEVT certificate program, whereas BDS is a Kathmandu University bachelor's degree in dental surgery.

Academic Affiliation

The Certificate in Dental Science (Dental Hygiene) program at Nobel Medical College is affiliated with CTEVT.

This means the course should be considered within the CTEVT technical and vocational education framework rather than the Kathmandu University framework that applies to NMCTH's MBBS, BDS, nursing, physiotherapy, and other KU-affiliated degree programs.

Students applying for this course therefore follow the academic requirements applicable to the CTEVT program.

Dental Hygiene within the NMCTH Academic Setting

Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital offers education across several areas of medicine and health sciences. Dental education is part of this wider academic environment, with the institution also offering the Bachelor of Dental Surgery program under Kathmandu University.

The Certificate in Dental Science (Dental Hygiene) provides a certificate-level route within the institution's dental and health education portfolio.

Students study within a college and teaching-hospital environment where dental and medical education form part of the broader institutional setting.

Course Level

It should not be confused with:

  • Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS)

  • A bachelor's degree in dental science

  • A postgraduate dental qualification

The program belongs to the technical health-education level under CTEVT.

This distinction is relevant when students compare academic pathways. A certificate qualification and a bachelor's degree have different academic structures, admission requirements, course objectives, and progression routes.
