Hi

Yes, it is mandatory to appear in NEET and qualify it if you want to pursue BDS

This is because,

Qualifying Neet examination is compulsory for a dmission  in all the medical colleges be it private or government  including AIIMS and JIPMER abd even abroad for following courses

• MBBS

• BDS

• Ayush courses( Ayurveda i. e BAMS , Unani i.e B. U. M. S, Siddha i. e BSMS, and Homeopathy i.e BHMS ) and

• veterinary i. e BVSc. . ( neet is mandatory for only all india quota bvsc seats offered through AIPVT counselling, as some states also have their own entrance like RPVT in Rajasthan for state quota seats  ).

So,

If you want to pursue BDS , you should focus on your Neet preparation and qualify it.

You should focus on

• practising chapterwise questions

• then revising the chapters,

• solve at least previous 10 year neet question papers as concept behind the question often gets repeated in the examination so it will be of great help in your preparation  ,
