Hi aspirant,

1. In India, admission to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program is mostly dependent on the National Testing Agency's (NTA) National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET).
2. According to the current Dental Council of India (DCI) norms, qualifying for NEET is required for admission to BDS courses in both government and private dental institutes across the country.
3. While different colleges may have conducted their own entrance tests in the past, the NEET exam is currently the standardized and compulsory entrance examination for BDS admissions in India.
4. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always visit the official websites of the Dental Council of India and the dental colleges you're interested in.

All the best!
