The wait is over! NEET MDS on April 19, NBEMS to start registration on February 18: Report

NEW DELHI: The wait is finally over for the MDS aspirants. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Master of Dental Surgery (NEET MDS 2025) exam date. The NBE will host the NEET MDS application form 2025 on the official website, natboard.edu.in, on February 18.

As per a newspaper advertisement, the NBEMS will hold the NEET MDS 2025 on April 19. Candidates will be able to apply for the entrance exam from February 18 to March 10.

The NBE is expected to publish the NEET MDS information bulletin 2025 soon on the official website, natboard.edu.in and nbe.edu.in. The announcement comes months after the aspirants have been demanding for a clarity on the exam and registration for the dental entrance exam.

Confusion prevailed among students, after the board published the NBEMS exam calendar 2025 on November 27, 2024, announcing that the NEET MDS exam will be conducted on January 31. However, the NEET MDS registration process was not started.

Last year, the board held the entrance exam on March 18 and the cut-off date for completion of the internship was fixed at March 31, which was later extended to June 30. There is a delay of a month in the conduct of the exam this year. The internship completion cut-off date for NEET MDS 2025 is yet to be announced.
