Hi Pramik,

With a score of 85 marks in NEET 2024 , your chances of getting a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) seat under the management quota will depend on several factors, including:

- The college's location (state/private)

- Cutoffs for BDS management seats in different colleges

- Your category (General, OBC, SC, etc.)

- The number of seats available under the management quota

General Scenario:

• Private Dental Colleges:

For private colleges that offer management quota seats, a score of 85 is generally on the lower side. Most reputable private dental colleges may have a cutoff of 300+ mark s for a better chance of admission.

However, some less competitive private colleges might accept students with lower scores, so it's advisable to check the specific cutoffs for each college.

State Dental Colleges:

Each state has its own counseling process, and cutoffs can vary widely. A score of 85 is likely to be below the cutoff in top colleges but may be considered in lesser-known or newer institutions .

With 85 marks in NEET 2024, it will be difficult to secure a BDS seat, even under full management quota, as you may not meet the qualifying criteria for NEET. Check private dental colleges with lenient admission policies for management quota seats. You could also explore dental colleges abroad where NEET scores might not be mandatory. Alternatively, consider preparing again to improve your NEET score, as it would significantly increase your chances of admission in future attempts.

Yes, you can continue attending secondary classes. But you must clear the failed first year subject in the next supplementary attempt. If you failed again, you may not be allowed to sit for second year university exams or be promoted to 3rd year.
