To get BDS admission in Karnataka, 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 the KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority), and attend all rounds of counselling. Karnataka is an open state for BDS admission, which means students from other states are also eligible to apply bds admission in Karnataka. 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 Karnataka. Additionally, students from other states can apply for BDS programs in Karnataka’s private and deemed universities under the AIQ, management, or NRI quotas.
