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?
Amrita Bhattacharya says
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
Varun says
You can apply after completing your 4th year BDS for NBDE part 1 but for part 2 you need to complete your BDS course.

hello im a dental student could u name me some books for dentition that have question and answers
ashwin ankoshkar says
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
ashwin ankoshkar says
where can i get asda reprints and dental decks in hyderabad
Varun says
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.
Varun says
Here is a link to Dental Decks online for all subjects – https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xjpeF-9obKVkxLTHZnRkhRWmM.
As for their availability in Hyderabad, you can try Universal Book depot in Koti and they are also available on Amazon India. Will share the link if you are not able to find it.

You need to give TOEFL or IELTS for English and clear Part 1 to apply for admission into Univ. But you have to clear NBDE part 2 to complete your course.
