Unfortunately, you cannot pursue a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree without taking the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). NEET is mandatory for admission to all dental programs in the country. In the past, there may have been institutions with their own entrance exams, but that is no longer the case.
