Hello there,

With a NEET 2025 score of 150 in the ST category, admission to a government BDS college with low fees is difficult but possible. Your score is near the lower range for government dental colleges.

Government dental colleges usually have reserved seats for ST candidates, and fees are generally lower compared to private colleges.

To improve your chances, participate actively in both All India Quota and state quota counseling. Also, consider private colleges with relatively affordable fees if government seats are limited.

Stay updated with official counseling notifications and cutoff lists for the latest seat availability and admission details.

I would recommend you to use the NEET College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello,

Although there is fierce competition, you might be able to gain admission to some government or private BDS colleges with lower tuition if you received 150 NEET 2025 scores under the ST category. ST candidates occasionally face lower cutoffs at government colleges, such as those in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, or Jharkhand. Although they charge more, seats are also available at private colleges with management or NRI quotas. Applying through state quota counselling and seeking out colleges in less competitive states will increase your chances. To cut expenses, it's critical to actively participate in counselling rounds, verify state-specific deadlines, and take into account scholarships or fee reductions for reserved categories.
All the best,
