Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well. Yes, you can take the NEET exam while pursuing BDS.
You can fill the CODE-2 for the examination code in the application form. Candidates who have qualified Class 12 in the year 2020 or before.

The eligibility criteria for age for NEET is as follows;

  • Candidate has completed age of 17 years at the time of admission or will complete that age on or before 31 December of the year of his/her admission to the first year Undergraduate Medical Courses.
  • The upper age limit for NEET (UG) is 25 years as on the date of examination with relaxation of 5 years for the candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC-NCL category and PwD Candidates.

NOTE: The upper age limit was challanged and matters are pending adjudication before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and the authorities shall abide by any order that
may be passed for NEET-UG-2021.
Thus, the candidates above 25 years are provisionally permitted to appear and their candidature is subject to the outcome of pending Petitions before the Hon'ble Supreme Court.


Hope this helps!!
All the best!!
