Hi there

In response to your query to check the fee structure for the ongoing 2022 batch you can look upto the official website for the same, generally it could vary University to university but as it's an ongoing batch the data would be available for the university you would want to select.

Hope this answer helps; best wishes

Dear shafaque Fatima,

Yoh have a good score but this not enough for getting a seat in government bds college because cutoff is so high for general and Obc category as you have already known.It requires 550+ for general student to alot a seat for bds in government.

So,If you are Interested and you have enough budget then I will prefer you to go for Private bds college.

Either you can also try government B.A.M.S,B.U.M.S & B.H.M.S because with this you have higher chances in these courses to get a seat.

Other wise you will try one more chance,give your best and alot a BDS or MBBS Seat in next year.

Hi Vaishnavi,

BDS is not offered at AFMC College in Pune. Anyone interested in pursuing MBBS must pass the NEET test and have completed 10 + 2 with a PCB stream from a recognized board with at least 60% marks. The Army College of Dental Sciences in Telangana, on the other hand, offers a BDS curriculum at the undergraduate level that is approved by the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences in Warangal (Telangana). It is a non-minority, private, unaided institution.

Hope it helps!

Hello Aspirant

If you did not get a seat in any of the counseling rounds then you are eligible for the refund.

But, you will have to wait because as you know the counseling procedure includes a lot of students and thus the time. So, after all of the rounds are over and seats which are allotted to the candidates are confirmed, a list of the students who are eligible for refund will me made.

You will get your refund 15-30 days after the list procedure, in the same account through which the payment was made.

Hope this helps.
