Hi,

Its only a part of the instructions. There is a list of instruments attached too.
Also, there are rooms assigned for each of the exams.

No timings are given though, for example, reporting time for each day. Think, they will send out another one with the specifics. I am not sure about it.

See you all there :)
 
yup see u there rain bhai !
 
Very weird. From the post of Mit - The deadline to send fee is 12-Oct and most of the people have not yet received the packet? :confused:

I believe the details will be sent out on Monday, after they have the entire list of candidates willing to appear for the interview. They have to give time slots to all of us.

i did very bad in written exam.
and hurt the premolar in my practical exam..
and did so so in personal interview..

good luck to you,,jay..

Well, written exam was more than basic stuffs, really have to study well. lot of opath, perio and prostho. Practical - did better in practice than in real, i dont know what happenend there, wasn't good at all. Interview was okay compared to other exams.
They wanna choose the best ones I guess regarding knowledge, skills and aptitude.... Lets wait and see ....goodluck to all my frens
 
well i took care not to nick the adjacent tooth. my written went ok i think considering the fact i didnt even prepared for part 2 ( though Dr. Kirkland's remarks of the "very basic test" and "we don expect you to answer all questions right" ). Nice to meet so mant SDNrs there.
keeping my fingers crossed.
