What is the selection process for BDS and what is the minimum CBSE 12th score required?

<p>The selection process for BDS is based on the performance in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), which is a common entrance exam for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate medical and dental courses in India. Candidates who qualify the NEET exam and meet the cutoff for their category and college of choice can participate in the counselling process conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats or the respective state authorities for 85% state quota seats. The seat allocation is done according to the merit rank, preferences, and availability of seats. The minimum CBSE 12th score required for BDS admission is 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) stream, with English as a subject4. However, this is only the eligibility criteria and does not guarantee admission. Candidates have to score high in the NEET exam to secure a seat in the BDS course. The qualifying cutoff for NEET 2023 is 50 percentile for general category candidates. The expected cutoff marks for BDS admission in government and private dental colleges vary depending on the rank and score of the candidates in the NEET exam and the availability of seats in the dental colleges.</p>
