The selection criteria for admission to the MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) degree at the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) in Pune involves a combination of factors, primarily centered around the NEET MDS scores.
A crucial component of the selection process is the candidate's performance in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for MDS (NEET MDS). This exam serves as the primary gateway for postgraduate dental admissions in India
Candidates must hold a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree from a recognized university. They must also be registered with the State Dental Council and have completed their compulsory rotatory internship.
In addition to the NEET MDS scores, AFMC may conduct its own screening process. This could involve interviews and medical examinations. It is very important to check the official AFMC website for any other specific test that could be conducted. The final selection is based on a merit list that considers the candidate's performance in the NEET MDS and, potentially, the AFMC screening process.
Eligibility criteria and selection procedures can be subject to change, so always refer to the official sources for the most accurate information.
I hope this helps.
