College ranking matters significantly when selecting an MDS course. A reputed college offers better faculty, superior clinical exposure, advanced lab facilities, and excellent placement opportunities.

Admission to the MDS course in India typically requires clearing the NEET MDS entrance exam. Without appearing for NEET MDS, getting admission into a recognised or top dental college is not possible.
In some rare cases, private colleges may offer seats through management quotas. But, even after that, qualifying NEET MDS with minimum marks is mandatory as per government regulations.
