Hi

Yes , even if you're doing BDS and you are in 1st year right now, you can appear in NEET 2022 examination and if you manage to get MBBS seat you can leave your BDS and get admission in MBBS

This is because,

There is no rule which says that if you are doing BDS or any graduation you become ineligible for Neet examination, as to be eligible for neet what all one needs is :

*to must have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got at least 50 % in aggregate of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology in 12th examination if belongs to general category , or at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /stcategory , or at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of general pwd candidates to be eligible.

So if one fulfill above criteria then is definitely eligible for Neet 2022 examination ,
so don't worry even if you are doing BDS right now you will be definitely eligible for Neet 2022 and can get admission in MBBS but yes,
you will have to pay penalty for leaving your BDS seat in between, for example in Maharashtra if you leave your MBBS or BDS course in between you have to pay a  penalty of 10 lakh rupees.
