# inbde in india

Answer: There are no INBDE exam centers in India. JCNDE offers the INBDE only at Prometric test centers in the U.S., its territories, and Canada, so candidates in India travel to sit it — and because Day 2 must occur within 7 days of Day 1 at the same center, one trip covers both exam days. An Indian BDS graduate qualifies through ECE degree confirmation (the $110 U.S. General Report suffices; the Certification of Eligibility Form applies only to current students), and 2026 fees are $890 plus a $435 non-CODA processing fee: $1,325 per attempt, charged in U.S. dollars with no official rupee figure.
