National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Medical for Master of Dental Surgery (NEET MDS) is the entrance examination for seeking admission to MDS course in India. It is taken by NBE conducting NBE at different medical colleges, private institutes, and universities of the country to get admission in the postgraduate programs related to dentistry.
NEET MDS is a computer adaptive test consisting normally of 240 multiple choice questions which are divided into four parts such as General Dentistry, General Human Anatomy, Dental Anatomy and Dental Materials, and General Pathology and Microbiology. A total time for the exam of 3 hours is being stipulated. To appear for the NEET MDS level, candidates have to score at least 50 percentile for appearing.
NEET - MDS 2024 examination dates have not been notified by the Examiner authorities till now. Typically, NEET MDS is transacted at a yearly level. NEET MDS 2023 Result is expected to come out in the last week of March 2023 which is the trend in its past results. Hence, the compilation of the list of those candidates who clear the cut off marks will be done for the counseling process. The counseling process will in turn successfully manage to facilitate admission of around 5500 MD candidates across the country. Any dental graduate who has made it to the final round of NEET MDS aspirations will eventually get admission in their likable dental college as well as their preferred dental specialization for postgraduate dental studies.
