mydentistSUCCESS STORIES
Dr. Aditya Singh Rana
Dreams don’t work unless you do From an October 2024 graduate to clearing the ORE in November 2025, all in under a year 🇬🇧 Grateful for the strong foundation built at @dypatildental for their constant support and guidance, helping me become the first candidate to clear the ORE from the DY Patil course and one of the youngest to achieve this milestone, this achievement would not have been possible without the team at DY Patil.
Dr. Kamlesh Gurnaney
Hello, I’m Dr. Kamlesh S Gurnaney. I recently cleared the UK Overseas Registration Examination. I completed my ORE training at D Y Patil School of Dentistry, where I received excellent support throughout both Part 1 and Part 2. The faculty provided structured guidance, regular feedback, and mock exams that really helped me improve in ORE part 1 as well as for all four subjects of part 2. The exclusive ORE lab and unlimited practice sessions gave me the confidence and clinical readiness needed to face the exam in the UK. I’m truly grateful for the mentorship and support I received here at D Y Patil, Navi Mumbai
