The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) released the FDST BDS result on July 2, 2026. This announcement brings relief to foreign-trained dental graduates waiting to practice in India. Graduates can now access the PDF pass list on the official notice board. This result is a vital step for dentists seeking Indian council registration.
To succeed, candidates needed 50 percent in both theory papers and the viva-voce section. The viva-voce required exactly 25 out of 50 marks to pass. NBEMS maintains a strict policy and does not allow any grace marks. No re-evaluation or re-checking is permissible for this examination. Students should cross-verify their status through the candidate login portal for clarity.

Passing the screening test allows candidates to begin registration with the Dental Council of India (DCI). Contact your respective State Dental Council to start your provisional or permanent registration. This legal step is mandatory for starting professional clinical practice in the country. Obtain an authenticated result copy before submitting your files for final council approval.
Applicants need several documents to complete their state registration successfully. Carry your original degree, valid identification, and the printed NBEMS result. Include eligibility letters and passport-sized photographs as per council requirements. Keeping multiple sets of records will help during the document verification stage at the office.
| Exam Component | Minimum Passing Requirement |
|---|---|
| Theory Paper-I | 50 Percent Score |
| Theory Paper-II | 50 Percent Score |
| Viva-Voce Marks | 25 Out of 50 |
Candidates who did not qualify this time can re-attempt the exam in future sessions. There is no limit on the total number of attempts allowed for the FDST. Watch the upcoming official information bulletins for the next exam registration dates. Continuous clinical study will help you clear the requirements in the very next cycle.
Professional dental practice requires strict adherence to these regulatory benchmarks. Candidates should use the official Communication Web Portal for specific queries. Avoid relying on unofficial PDF files shared on social media platforms. Successful results serve as the key gateway to a career in the Indian healthcare system.
