New Delhi- Through a public notice, the Dental Council of India (DCI) has announced that the counselling session will be held separately for NEET MDS 2024 before NEET PG Medical Counselling.

The notice states, "It is hereby informed to all MDS aspirants that the Govt. of India may conduct the counselling session for NEET-MDS 2024 separately and before NEET PG Medical Counselling”.

Although the NEET MDS 2024 examination is scheduled to be conducted on March 18, 2024 by the National Board of Examinations (NBE), the NEET MDS aspirants have been demanding the postponement of the exam to July. Taking to social media, they have highlighted that even if the exam is conducted in March, the counselling would not commence soon.

According to the MDS aspirants, the counselling process for the NEET PG examination and NEET MDS are always conducted together. Therefore, with the NEET PG getting postponed to July, it is unlikely that NEET MDS counselling would be held anytime soon. Terming it to be an "injustice", the aspirants have been demanding that the NEET MDS exam also get postponed till July.

Recently, taking up the concerns of around 8,000 BDS interns regarding the eligibility criteria, and the lack of preparation time, the doctors under the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) approached the Union Health Ministry urging to postpone the exam and grant an extension of the internship completion deadline.

As per the NBE notice, NEET-MDS 2024 will be conducted in a single day & single session through a computer-based platform at various examination centres across the country. Later, the result of NEET-MDS 2024 will be declared on 18th April 2024.
