The government of a state in India called Jharkhand is helping students get into medical and dental school.
Every year, many students take a big test called NEET.
The students who pass this test can apply to study to become doctors and dentists.
The application period opened on August 7, 2026.
Students can apply online until August 11, 2026.
They apply on a special website made for the state's medical admissions.
