Admission to MDS course in India is possible only after candidates pass NEET MDS exam. Without appearing for NEET MDS getting admission into a best dental college is not possible.
In some rare cases private colleges may offer seats through management quotas. But even after that passing NEET MDS with minimum marks is necessary.
