We have lost days of preparation due to the uncertainty of NEET MDS dates. Every MDS aspirant is continuously checking #NBE website for official notification since 10-15 days! Performing NEETMDS now and waiting 4-5 months for counseling will not yield any results sense#postponeneetmdstilljuly

Why will NEET MDS aspirants wait an additional 3-4 months for counseling? Why we get 240 questions within 3 hours
and in pg 200 questions in 3.5 hours?
The seats for MDS compared to PG are also fewer, why not?@NbeIndia

At least show some respect for dental students.#NEETMDS cut off is not ZERO like NEET PG in previous year.
NEET MDS required a minimum cut-off mark of 168 to qualify for the counseling. Students only ask for deferment like NEET PG till July. Please clarify this #NBE— Malay Debbarma (@Malaydeslumber) January 17, 2024
Postpone NEET MDS until July 2024.#NEETMDS

I just called nbe but all they kept repeating was to check on them it would be unfair if neet neet mds will be in march as directed by the honorable SC because guidance of both the exams is happening at the same time then why not the exams.#POSTPONENEETMDS2024

If Neet mds is in March, there is real injustice against us. NEET PG exam postponed till July, they got the notification on January 9 and our exam is likely to be conducted in March, we have no notification. Please postpone until June.@MoHFW_INDIA @PMOIndia @OfficeOf_MM #NEETMDS2024 delay

Expressing his concerns, another aspirant wrote, “It is unfair to confuse students and hold the exam in March. If NEET PG can be conducted in July, the same should be applied to NEET MDS. Don't take the dental fraternity for granted.”
Another aspirant shared a post on This silence from authorities is deafening @NbeIndia #neetmds #neetmds2024 #Postponeneetmds2024toJULY #postponeneetmds2024tilljuly.”
Really disheartened to see the entire dental association being humiliated and no one coming forward to take a stand except for a few students. This silence from the authorities is deafening@NbeIndia #neetmds #neetmds2024 #postponemds2024untilJULY #postponedmds2024untiljuly

NEET-MDS 2024 is the eligibility cum ranking exam for admission to various MDS courses of the admission session 2024-25. NEET-MDS is conducted by NBEMS. Candidates may note that the role of NBEMS is limited to conducting NEET-MDS, declaring the result and handing over the result to the designated advisory body.
Disappointed with the NEET MDS 2024 exam date, aspirants along with students' union members have started campaigning on Twitter using the hashtag #postponemds2024untilJULY #postponedmds2024untiljuly #NEETMDS2024PROSPECT and #POSTPONENEETMDS2024.
