Hi

First of all,  through NEET one cannot get into MDS i. e Master of Dental Surgery as it is a master course but through neet admission in undergraduate medical courses like MBBS, BDS is provided. For MDS one needs to clear entrance examination like NEET MDS entrance examination, INI - CET conducted by Aiims etc.

Secondly,

Your profile suggests that you are in class 12th right now, so in order to pursue MDS, you need to do BDS first.

And it is mandatory to qualify neet to get into BDS.

So you need to appear in neet.

As per, Neet 2021 eligibility criteria to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th board examination 2021 or should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got:-

  • at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology  in 12th examination  if belongs to general category

  • at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to st/Obc/ Sc

  • at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of pwd candidates to be eligible.

Also,

* to be eligible for neet 2021 one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December 2021

* There is no upper age limit for Neet 2021

* There's no limit for the maximum number of attempts/times one can appear in NEET.

So, if you fulfill these, you can appear in neet and after qualifying it you can get into Bds and after bds you can get into mds through NEET MDS entrance examination, INI - CET conducted by Aiims etc.
