Hello Aspirant,

The curriculum for NEET 2023 is expected to remain the same as NEET 2022 as there hasn't been any such notice about it from NTA yet.

Many aspirants aren't aware of the BDS syllabus and how vast it is. Once you enter the course,you will realise it is just as demanding as MBBS. The subjects are new to you, you are trying to adjust to a new environment and lifestyle and having to spend endless hours understanding and memorising alot of topics that are quiet new and sometimes tricky to understand.

You can surely put in the hardwork and do both the BDS course and give NEET next year, but there are high chances of severe mental burnout for both the course syllabus and the NEET exam preparation are quiet demanding of both time and energy, which can cause frustration and depression.

Also, many Dental colleges, if not all, demand fees for all years ,even if you want to drop out after the first year demanding to pursue other subjects. So please make sure you make the necessary enquiry with the concerned authority or college about these things before making the final decision.

I would advise you to take a gap year if you want to repeat and give your complete effort to NEET 2023. Don't be waivered by what the people around you are doing. Discuss it, think over it and concentrate on your future. After all, only you know the amount of efforts you put into it.

I hope I was able to answer your query.

Feel free to ask any more questions you have.

All the best for your results!

NEET portions comprise 97 chapters from grade 11 and 12 physics, biology and chemistry and is a pen and paper exam. The NEET 2023 pattern and curriculum is expected to be the same as 2022 but there is no confirmation yet from the NTA as it has just concluded the 2022 exam. Preparing for NEET along with BDS can be tricky considering the vast portions in NEET preparation and BDS degree but very much possible with proper hard work and time management.
