The Dental Council of India (DCI) has issued a crucial notice regarding the last date for joining and uploading student details for Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) admissions for the academic year 2024-25. This public circular was issued on December 5, 2024.
Key Points
- Last Date to Join BDS Course: December 16th, 2024 (12:00 Midnight)
- Who Needs to Comply: All dental colleges admitting students through NEET UG Special Round II for Special Stray Vacancy (AIQ/Deemed/Central Universities & State Quota seats)
- Action for Non-Compliance: Colleges failing to upload student details by the deadline may face legal action under the Dentists Act.
- Uploading Student Details:
- Needs to be done on the DCI website using existing login credentials.
- Colleges are encouraged to upload details gradually after each round of counselling, not waiting until the last minute.
- Only details of genuinely admitted students should be uploaded. Uploading details of students not admitted can lead to penalties.
How This Affects Students
