Is BDS admission possible without NEET exam?

No, admission to BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) programs in most colleges in India is not possible without appearing for the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) exam. NEET is the mandatory entrance examination for undergraduate medical and dental courses in India. The Dental Council of India (DCI) has made it compulsory for all dental colleges to admit students based on their NEET scores. The NEET exam evaluates the knowledge and aptitude of candidates seeking admission to medical and dental colleges across the country. To pursue BDS you must qualify for the NEET exam and obtain a valid NEET score. Based on your NEET score, you can apply for counseling and admission to various dental colleges in India. It's important to note that admission criteria and regulations may vary among different states and colleges, so it's advisable to check the specific requirements of the dental colleges you are interested in. However, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, NEET is a prerequisite for BDS admissions in India.
