Dear Candidate,
With a MET 2025 score of 87 and a PCM board percentage of 73.3% , your expected rank is approximately 5,200 to 6,700.

With a 73.36 percentile and rank around 3,98,570 in JEE Main, getting top government colleges for popular branches may be tough. However, you can look for state engineering colleges or private colleges with low fees. Some good state universities or private colleges offer quality education at affordable fees. You should also explore government quota seats in private colleges through counselling. Check options in your home state and nearby states for better chances. I can help find some colleges if you want!

According to the marks required before and what is needed today, here is your situation:

1. For St Category, see the cutoffs from previous years.

The mark to aim for during 2023 qualifying is 116 (50th percentile).

Last year’s minimum score for admission was 150.

The average BDS minimum marks for ST are 120-180.

2. Probable Ways to Get in:

Government Colleges:

You can be allotted 50% of the available seats based on your state.

It can happen in states where competition is not high (NE states, Jharkhand, MP).

These include: Government Dental College (Ahmedabad), ESIC Dental Colleges

Private Colleges:

A high chance of obtaining admission in deemed universities (Manipal, SRM)

Good options for private colleges are available through management quota.

A number of Christian minority colleges accept students with lower test results.

3. State-wise Chances:

It is more profitable to play in states where a lot of students use ST.

Odisha Post-Basic BDS Program

Chhattisgarh (Government Dental College Raipur)

Govt. Dental College Mumbai (Maharashtra)

A lower number of these accidents are recorded in South Indian states.

4. Next Steps:

You should apply to each round of counseling (you will get 4 or 5 chances).

Heed the advice given by state quota counselors (as this gives you a better chance of success).

Have a copy of your files ready for backup.

These colleges allow students to enroll without paying the fees.

Separate counseling will be held at ESIC/AFMC dental colleges.

Programs designed for the welfare of ST students in each state

5. Important Notes:

It is more important to focus on your rank than on your marks (Await the announcement of your rank)

You must provide the ST certificate, proof of income and domicile.

Get ready for spot rounds, as they can occur after main counseling.

6. If BDS Cannot Help:

Nursing degree courses are available in many colleges for students scoring in NEET.

Pharmacy courses

Paramedical programs

Hello Mr. Rajesh,

Congratulations to your daughter on passing NEET MDS 2025 with a mark of 405! From the trend of cutoffs of previous years, a mark of 405 is a good mark for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery MDS in deemed universities, particularly in the management quota.

Some of the deemed universities in Maharashtra where she could have good chances of getting through are:

1. DY Patil University, Navi Mumbai

2. Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College, Pune

3. Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences, Wardha

4. Dr. DY Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune

Several deemed universities in South India offer MBBS programs with relatively low fees compared to some other private colleges, and may accept students with lower NEET scores. Some examples include:

Deemed Universities:

Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal: Known for Kasturba Medical College, they offer MBBS with a total fees range of approximately 43.95 lakh.

Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai: Offers MBBS with a total fees range of approximately 1.35 crore.

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri: This deemed university, located in Kerala, may offer lower fees and acceptances for students with lower NEET scores.

B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai: Another deemed university in Chennai that may offer affordable options.

A NEET score of 300 in 2025 would likely land you a rank between 4,50,000 and 5,50,000. Several medical colleges in India accept students within this rank range, and some of them offer MBBS programs with relatively lower fees, especially government colleges and some private institutions.

If you scored 258 on GATE Physics and got an interview call, that is good news. Even if the score is low, being shortlisted for IISc Bangalore shows that your profile is suitable for evaluation further.

IISc and other leading institutes consider additional measures besides the score from the GATE. How well someone performs, what subjects they studied, what purpose they share (if necessary) and, sometimes, prior research done may be decisive. Review the main topics of Physics and have an answer ready for any research or project you have worked on.

As a result, being shortlisted for GATE indicates that your background is seen as promising, despite not getting a very high score. Do your best in the interview since it will largely affect your final chances.
