Admission to CKS Theja Institute of Dental Sciences and Research is entirely NEET-based; there is no separate entrance test. Undergraduate seats (BDS) are filled through NEET-UG. Candidates must qualify NEET and then take part in centralised counselling — direct admission is not permitted.
As a private college, seats span an All India / management quota and, where applicable, an NRI quota. Government/convener-quota seats are counselled by the Andhra Pradesh State NEET-UG Counselling, while management and NRI seats follow the private-quota rounds. Management and NRI quotas carry higher fees but the same NEET-qualification requirement — a valid NEET rank is mandatory for every seat.
To secure a seat, a NEET-qualified candidate registers for the relevant counselling, fills a preference list that includes CKS Theja Institute of Dental Sciences and Research, and is allotted a seat if their rank clears the closing rank for that quota and category in that round. Closing ranks move each year with the number of applicants and seats, so treat past cut-offs as guidance, not a guarantee.
CKS Theja Institute of Dental Sciences and Research has 100 BDS seats. These are filled through NEET-UG counselling — the 15% All India Quota and the Andhra Pradesh state quota, plus management/NRI quotas where applicable.
