Yes, of course. NEET UG is compulsory for admission to all BDS courses in India (government and private). No alternate way or management admission is available without a valid NEET score. The rule was drawn up so that admission to all dental institutions will be transparent and merit based. Similarly, NEET MDS is mandatory for all postgraduate dental courses.
