NEET is conducted for admission in MBBS and BDS course. The eligibility to get admission in the course is that :-

Candidate must have passed 12th in Physics, Chemistry and Biology as main paper.

Candidate must have scored minimum 50% in PCB. There is relaxation for reserved category.

So, you are not eligible to appear in the examination. NEET is conducted by NTA.

BDS refers to Bachelor of Dental Science and to pursue the same degree course the minimum education required is a Class 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as main subjects with at least 50% aggregate in PCB group subjects from a recognized board of education. Marks relaxation of 10% is allowed for reserved category candidates.

So, having completed your Class 12th by securing 43 marks in Chemistry, 45 marks in Physics, and 50 marks in Biology i.e; 46% aggregate in PCB group subjects, you are eligible to pursue BDS degree course only if you belong to reserved category otherwise you need to first appear in Class 12th improvement examination to improve your marks in Class 12th to become eligible for pursuing BDS degree course.

Yes, you can get admission in dental college. All you need is to do grand total of all the subjects, take out percentage.
Then look for the college you want to pursue your course in, check their eligibility criteria.
You can attempt NEET for admission to this course but your percentage in the boards should be higher as it gets equal weightage.
