A score of 400 marks in NEET may provide a chance for BDS admission, depending on factors like category, state quota, and college cutoff. However, it is generally considered on the lower end for top colleges, and securing a seat may require meeting specific requirements.

If you have cleared one subject and failed in another in your supplementary exam, you may be allowed to move to the next year with one subject pending, depending on your university's rules. However, you may need to clear the failed subject within the given time frame to avoid delay.

With a NEET rank of 3 lakh in Telangana, you are likely to get a private MBBS or BDS seat in Telangana under the free seat category. However, the specific college depends on the category and the available seats. For example, at this rank, you might be able to get a seat in private colleges like Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Deccan College of Medical Sciences, or Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences.

With 157 marks in NEET 2025, securing a free (government) BDS seat in Telangana, Hyderabad is highly unlikely, even under reserved categories, as the cutoff for BDS in government colleges is usually much higher. Consider management quota or private colleges.

Hello,

Yes, you can try for a BDS seat in SGRD Dental College through the management quota even if you have just qualified NEET.

Management quota seats are mostly given based on NEET qualification, not high rank. But the fees will be higher than government quota.

Hope it helps !

Hey Anushka, I've got some info on BDS cutoffs for government colleges in Uttar Pradesh.

Typically, the cutoff marks are:

General Category: 550-570

OBC Category: 520-540

SC Category: 380-420

ST Category: 350-380

For top government dental colleges in UP, the cutoff ranks are:

King George's University of Dental Science, Lucknow: around 10,000-15,000

Other government colleges: around 15,000-30,000

Remember, these are just estimates, and cutoffs can change every year. Check the official websites or the National Testing Agency (NTA) for the latest info.

With 370/720 in NEET 2025, your chances of getting a BDS seat in a government college depend on:

State Quota (Reserved Categories): Moderate chances in some states with lower cutoffs.

AIQ and General Category: Unlikely for a government seat.

Hello,

With a score of 300 in NEET UG 2025, it is unlikely to get a free (government) seat in G Pulla Reddy Dental College, Kurnool, under the OC (Open Category).

The cutoff for BDS in this college is generally higher than 300, even for reserved categories.

You may have a chance to secure a seat through the management quota or by exploring other private colleges with lower cutoffs.

Thank you!!
