NEET is the entrance examination for admission to Medical, Dental, Ayush and Veterinary courses across India for admisison in Government Medical Colleges, Private Medical Colleges and Deemed/Central Universities through All India Counselling and State Counselling. Private Dental Colleges do not participate in All India Counselling and the seats are filled through State Counselling alone. The 85% State Quota and Private Colleges are filled by the respective State Authorities. And there are 3 Categories in Private Dental Colleges. Category A is the Government Quota Seats. And only candidates of the home State are eligible to apply for these seats. B Category seats are also called Management Quota Seats and they are filled through State Counselling and the remaining seats are filled through direct Admissions by contacting the College directly provided the Candidate has registered for the respective State Counselling and has not been able to secure a seat in the Counselling. Here the fees is usually nothing less than 40 lakhs. The last Category is NRI seats Category and you cannot apply for that. For admission to any of these Categories, you have to qualify in NEET. So if you score less than the cut offs, you cant take admission even in Private Dental Colleges.
