Hi

No.

I am extremely sorry to tell you dear but you cannot take admission in dental College if you fail to qualify Neet examination

This is because,

Neet examination has been made mandatory to qualify to take admission in any dental college for your BDS

So, if you fail to qualify Neet examination you cannot get admission in any college be it government or private for your BDS , leave India you cannot get admission in even abroad if you fail to qualify Neet examination, as Neet is compulsory to qualify even for admission in abroad for medical or Dental College

So,

I suggest you to prepare well  for your Neet examination and don't worry we have Neet knockout program which will help you at every step of your preparation , the link for the same is given below
