Hello, and welcome to CareerMudhra. My name is Dr. Aditya Maitra, and I am the Quality & Research Expert at CareerMudhra. In this post, I will provide you with a complete guide to BDS admission in Andhra Pradesh. You will learn about the admission procedure, Andhra Pradesh NEET-UG Counselling process, and other key details. I will also share the list of 15 DCI-approved private BDS colleges in Andhra Pradesh, along with their fee structure.
First is First: To get BDS admission in Andhra Pradesh, a student must qualify NEET-UG 2025 with the required cut-off marks set by the NTA based on their category. After qualifying, the student must register and participate in counselling conducted either by the MCC (All India Counselling) or by Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS), which manages the state counselling process. Andhra Pradesh is not fully open for BDS admission, meaning only management and NRI quota seats in private dental colleges are open to students from other states. The state offers All India Quota (AIQ) seats managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which are open to students from across the country, including non-residents of Andhra Pradesh. However, the 85% state quota seats in government and private dental colleges are reserved strictly for Andhra Pradesh local candidates. Non-AP students can apply only for BDS programs under the management and NRI quota in private dental colleges through the state counselling conducted by NTRUHS.
