Admission into MBBS, BDS through NEET 2021

If we talk about the most demanding and challenging undergraduate medical courses, MBBS and BDS are the top choices for almost all 12 PCB students. In India, if you aspire to take admission to any of these, you will have to appear for NEET, clear it with a good rank, and appear for the NEET counseling.  

While the total MBBS seats in India are limited, the number of students competing is quite high. Therefore, even if you manage to crack the NEET exam, you may not be able to get into your desired college as you may not meet the required cut-off. Students usually prefer the government colleges for MBBS and BDS admission through NEET. 

However, there is also an option to opt for other colleges and management seats. For instance, if you are a student of Andhra Pradesh, you need to register with apmedadm.apntruhs.in to be eligible for any of the government or private seats through state quota.
