Maharashtra NEET UG 2020 Counselling: The Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (Maha CET) cell has released a revised schedule for the ongoing mop-up rounds for admissions to undergraduate BDS course seats across the state. The schedule has been released for the Maharashtra NEET Counselling fifth and sixth mop-up rounds. Though the admissions to MBBS courses ended on January 15, the dental council realized that a large number of seats are vacant in central institutes across the country and they need to be filled. Hence, the admission deadline for BDS courses offered at Government/ Corporation Dental College has been extended by two weeks.
"This year due to the delay in admissions, the Dental Council of India announced that BDS admissions will continue till January 31, therefore we have added more mop-up rounds. Never before have we conducted these many rounds of admission," said an official from the CET cell. He added that a final list of vacant seats across state institutes will be released soon for the benefit of students.

As per the information shared by the Maha CET cell, 35 per cent of seats are lying vacant across the government and private dental colleges this year even after five rounds of admissions. The situation reported in states like Karnataka, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh is much worse this year with as many as 50 per cent staying vacant by January 15.
Experts on numerous occasions have pointed to a large number of unemployment prevailing in this sector for BDS graduates as well as the high financial back-up in order to set up a private practice as the main reasons for the decline in demand for the course.

No, there's no backdoor here. Candidates willing to get admitted to undergraduate dental courses need to qualify the NEET exam, which is the national entrance test for BDS admission. Whether you're applying to a government or a top private college, NEET is non-negotiable.

Not always, and this is something most students don't realise. NEET is not mandatory for GNM admission, since it's a Diploma course handled through state nursing council exams or merit-based selection.
