Hello aspirant,

With the score of 226, your chances of getting a seat in government dental colleges are nil. Even in private colleges it is difficult if you come from unreserved category. If you are from reserved category ther might be some chance in private dental colleges. If you really want to pursue B.D.S then you should look out management quota seats. Otherwise you can look for Ayush courses like Ayurveda or Homeopathy.

Best of luck for your future.

Hello,

With a NEET score of 354 and OBC category with HK reservation , it is unlikely to get a government BDS seat in Karnataka. The cutoff for government BDS colleges, even for reserved categories, is generally higher .

Thank you!!

As you have scored 316 in NEET-UG with an SC category there is a written possibility of your getting a BAMS (Ayurveda) or BDS (Dental) seat in government colleges under state quota. This score suits well because here is why:

The SC cut offs in BAMS/BDS are usually lower than MBBS varying between 220 and 350 marks usually.

Good numbers of seats are allotted to the SC by most states and the cut-offs on the courses lie within your score range.

You have a better chance at getting a seat by taking part in state counselling and including a combination of government BAMS /BDS colleges on your preferences list.

Having 238 marks in NEET and being of OBC category it may be very difficult to get a government seat in BAMS or BDS, and it would be much more difficult under AIQ (All India Quota). But there is still a bit of hope below the state quota, particularly, when you belong to a low cut-off state or have a rural/ESW/minority quota advantage.

In BAMS, there are slight chances compared to BDS since the cut-offs are usually lower. Nevertheless, consider semi-government as well as private colleges too. Apply in all rounds of counselling, even in mop-up counselling, your chances are higher. Keep the hopes up and apply wisely!

With a JEE Main percentile of 43.738% and being from the General (EWS) category, your approximate CRL rank would be around 7.5 to 8 lakh. At this percentile, admission into top government colleges, NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs is not possible, even with EWS reservation.

Most government colleges have cutoff percentiles much higher than this, usually above 85–90 for even less competitive branches. So, with your score, your chances are very low for any government or centrally funded institutions through JoSAA or CSAB.

However, some private engineering colleges may still offer admission based on JEE Main qualification alone, or through their own management quota or entrance processes. You can explore private colleges in your state or nearby regions, especially those that accept low JEE scores or offer direct admission.

HELLO,

The expected BDS cutoff for Government Medical colleges in NEET 2025 will likely range from 550-575 for the General category ,550-565 for OBC , 490 -510 for SC and 480-495 for ST.

A good rank for government BDS seat in a good college would be under 20000 with some top colleges requiring ranks under 10000

Points to be Noticed:-

1. NEET SCORE- is the primary factor with higher scores generally leading to better chances of securing a seat in a government college.

2.Category-vary by category with reserved category typically having lower cutoffs

3.College -top government colleges have higher cutoffs compared to other government colleges

4.Number of seats also affect the seat availability in government colleges for BDS

Hello,

You have a very little chance of being selected for a government MBBS seat if your Neet 2025 score is 319, particularly through the all India quota, as government MBBS cut offs for even reserved categories usually very significantly higher.

For BDS,

During state quota counselling, you maybe able to get a BDS seat at a government dental College, particularly if you fall under one of the preserved categories.

For Veterinary,

Mini Government and private colleges accept your scores for veterinary programs, especially if you meet the state quota.

You can also apply for AYUSH courses or allied Health sciences, which offer you in lower cut offs.
