Hello Aspirant,

A score of 401 in NEET 2025, home state Bihar, OBC category means you have a fair chance for BDS seats in government dental colleges via state quota. As seen over previous admission years, BDS cutoffs for OBC category candidates in Bihar under the 85% state quota have fluctuated around the area of 380 – 420, depending on competition and the college individual boards. That said, admission chances still vary each year depending on number of applicants, levels of difficulty NEET attains, seat matrix modifications, category rank. I would say you will participate in state counselling and you should apply for every government BDS options available to you and also consider mop-up rounds since once in a while there will be seats where cut-off will be lowered due to vacant spaces.

HEY THERE!!!

To secure a BDS management (payment) seat, candidates must meet the official NEET qualifying cutoff.

• For the general category, this means achieving at least the 50th percentile, which is expected to correspond to scores between 720 and 160 for NEET 2025.
• For OBC, SC, and ST categories, the requirement is the 40th percentile, likely ranging from 159 to 125 marks.

With a NEET 2025 score of 420, getting MBBS in a government college in India is tough, but you might get BDS in some government colleges depending on your category and state. If you're open to studying MBBS abroad, it can be a good option, especially in countries like Russia, Georgia, or the Philippines. Just make sure the college is NMC-approved. Choose based on your budget, interest, and long-term goals. Both paths can lead to a good medical career.

With 429 NEET marks in General category from West Bengal, getting MBBS or BDS in government colleges is very difficult. You might have a chance for BHMS (Homeopathy) in some government or semi-government colleges. Semi-government colleges may accept your marks for BDS or BHMS but check each college’s cutoff. Also, explore private colleges or other medical courses like Ayurveda or nursing where your marks fit better. Keep checking official counseling updates!

Hello Rekha,

With 270 marks in NEET 2025 and being from Rajasthan, getting admission to a government BDS college may be very challenging because government dental colleges typically have higher cut-off scores. However, you might have a chance in semi-government or private dental colleges where cut-offs are relatively lower.

Here’s what you can do:

• Participate in Rajasthan state counseling (Rajasthan NEET UG counseling).

• Explore private dental colleges that participate in state counseling rounds.

• Keep an eye out for management quota seats in private or semi-government colleges, though fees may be higher.

• Consider applying to other states if you’re open to moving, but note that government quotas usually favor local students.

Keep checking updates from the Rajasthan state counseling board for seat availability and cut-off trends.

Hello,

With an expected score of 295 in NEET 2025 as an ST category candidate in Odisha, you have a good chance of getting a BDS seat but for MBBS the chances are minimal.

The expected cutoffs for government colleges in Odisha for ST candidates are around 380-400 marks. Therefore, with 295 marks, your chances of getting an MBBS seat in a government college are limited, but not impossible.

BDS courses in government colleges usually have lower cutoffs compared to MBBS.
