Hello Bhanu,

No, you cannot get admission to BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) without appearing for the NEET exam . As per the current guidelines of the Medical Council of India (MCI) and Dental Council of India (DCI) , NEET is mandatory for admission to BDS courses in all government and private dental colleges across India. This rule applies to both All India Quota and State Quota seats.

Previously, some states and private colleges allowed admission to BDS without NEET, but now all dental colleges require NEET scores to admit students to BDS. You must take the NEET exam and secure a valid score to be eligible for admission to any BDS course.

If you're interested in pursuing BDS , your first step will be to appear for NEET and then participate in the counseling process.

With a score of 333 and Uttar Pradesh domicile, your chances of getting a seat in a government college depend on factors such as the cutoff for the year, category, and specific course. Since you're from the SC category, you may have a better chance of securing a seat in government colleges with reserved quotas, but it will depend on the rank and cutoff for each course.
