  5. Hello Dr Varun! This is one of the NBDE aspirants from Rajasthan. I just got puzzled regarding books to be read for NBDE while surfing through a number of sites.
    Should my choice be Dental Decks ( flashcards) + ASDA reprints + First Aid or should it be other than this or less?

  6. I am amrita… I’m doing my undergraduate degree in dentistry. In which year of my course I should apply for nbde part 1.is it after completion of bds degree

  7. You can apply after completing your 4th year BDS for NBDE part 1 but for part 2 you need to complete your BDS course.

  10. my son ashwin ankoshkar wants to try for dds he is in his fourth year of bds can he write nbde next year during his internship

  12. Yes, he can write NBDE part I during his internship. But make sure that he is well prepared, there are multiple coaching centers here in India which give coaching for 4-6 months and also help in conducting mock tests to get him prepared for the examination pattern. As he needs to go to the USA to write the examination and the lack of percentages being shown it is important that he scores well to make him eligible for applying to various universities across the country.
