NEET-MDS stipend and service bond, college by college
Every figure shows its own date and source. FindMyBranch is not a government body.
Stipend is the money you are paid every month during MDS, while you study and work in the dental hospital.
A service bond is a promise you make when you take the seat: after MDS, you work for the government for a set time. If you do not, you pay a penalty (a sum of money).
Some colleges, universities and states also charge you if you resign or leave the seat. That is listed separately below.
MDS seats in MCC counselling are at named colleges, and these rules differ from college to college, so this page goes college by college. Our MCC MDS data has 79 dental colleges. A stipend is on record for 10 of them, a service bond for 6 and a seat-leaving penalty for 14. The rest are listed under no figure on record.
