Admission to Faculty of Dental Sciences 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 government college, seats are divided between the 15% All India Quota and the 85% state quota. The All India Quota is counselled online by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), while the state quota is counselled by the Uttar Pradesh State NEET-UG Counselling. Both run in rounds — Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up and Stray Vacancy — with seats allotted strictly on NEET rank, category and choice order.
To secure a seat, a NEET-qualified candidate registers for the relevant counselling, fills a preference list that includes Faculty of Dental Sciences, 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.
