Not Available. You can not take admission in BDS unless you are NEET qualified. NEET has ben made mandatory from the year 2016 onwards although states were allowed that year to hold their own entrances using an ordinance. Even if you want to study BDS in foreign then too you have to qualify NEET.

Hello prathamesh,
You cannot take admission in BDS unless you are NEET qualified. NEET has been made mandatory from the year 2016 onwards although states were allowed that year to hold their own entrances using an ordinance.
Dental Council of India and Medical Council will never acknowledge you.

Even if you want to study BDS in a foreign country, you still have to pass NEET. So basically NEET is qualification exam for India's aspiring healthcare professionals. There's no way without NEET.
To get tge medical courses without neet you may visit the link given below :
