Good afternoon

With a NEET score of 215 and OBC category, here’s an honest analysis of your chances for BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) admission in a government college:

1. All India Quota (15%)

Highly unlikely to get BDS in government dental colleges through AIQ.

Last year’s OBC cutoff for BDS (govt) under AIQ was around 440–470 marks.

You are well below the cutoff.

2. State Quota (85%)

Some states have lower cutoffs for reserved categories in BDS.

With OBC category, you might have a very slim chance in certain states (like Bihar, MP, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal) only in the last rounds, and only if vacant seats remain.

With a NEET 2025 score of 463 and a rank around 1,01,300, your chances of getting a Government BAMS seat are quite good, especially if you belong to a reserved category like OBC, SC, or ST. In many states, the cutoff for Government BAMS colleges under state quota for reserved categories ranges from 430 to 470 marks , which puts you in a safe zone.

For Government BDS , the competition is higher. In most states, the BDS cutoff for reserved categories falls between 450 and 480 marks , depending on the number of seats and applicants. You may have a fair chance for BDS under the state quota if you are from OBC, SC, or ST category. For General category students, the chances for Government BDS are low with this score.

You are advised to apply through your state counselling process and include both BAMS and BDS options in your choice filling. Keep an eye on the official cutoff trends in your state for more accurate predictions.

Both Santosh Dental College and Inderprastha Dental College are well-regarded, but Santosh Dental College is generally considered slightly better for BDS, particularly in terms of teaching and OPD. Santosh has a stronger focus on practical learning through clinical sessions, providing students with hands-on experience in well-equipped clinics and labs. It also boasts a supportive faculty that provides personalized guidance. While Inderprastha also offers good facilities and a well-maintained infrastructure, it's often noted that Santosh provides more comprehensive clinical exposure and a stronger emphasis on practical skills development.

Hello aspirant,

The score of 324 is not sufficient for government dental college and for private colleges also it might be challenging, if you are not from reserved categories. You should try and wait till last round, or you can apply through management quota. You can also explore other courses like homeopathy, ayurveda or physiotherapy. Or you can wait for next year and apply for neet again. For accuarte prediction of colleges use careers360 college predictor,

BDS admissions happen through All India Quota (15%) and State Quota (85%) , so make sure you register and fill choices during counselling rounds.
