Hello aspirant,
Hope you are doing well. Yes, you can take the NEET exam while pursuing BDS.
You can fill the CODE-2 for the examination code in the application form. Candidates who have qualified Class 12 in the year 2020 or before.
The eligibility criteria for age for NEET is as follows;
NOTE: The upper age limit was challanged and matters are pending adjudication before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and the authorities shall abide by any order that
may be passed for NEET-UG-2021.
Thus, the candidates above 25 years are provisionally permitted to appear and their candidature is subject to the outcome of pending Petitions before the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
Hope this helps!!
All the best!!
