Hello Sir,

Thanks for reaching out

With the mentioned NEET score and rank under OC category getting a government BDS seat in Telengana is quite unlikely sir as the cutoff for OC is usually higher.

However ,admission is possible in private dental colleges under the management quota fees may range from 10 - 15 lakhs.

Hey, you need to score at least 550–570 marks roughly securing the best of 150,000 in the top most of the country. As well as it will include on to the stances that it will get into the top tier of the colleges like

MAIDS Delhi closed around rank 5,500

GDC Mumbai ~7,000

GDC Bangalore ~9,000

Hello,

These NEET scores are accepted for BDS admissions at Saveetha Dental College. However, cutoff of this college might change depending on a variety of variables, including the number of candidates, there ranks, and the particular category.

General Category:

A score of 207 in the general category is probably below the average threshold for a reputable private dentistry college such as Saveetha. A a good private college is frequently thought to require at least 300 marks.

For Reserved Categories

The minimal qualifying score in NEET is lower for applicants who fall into reserve categories. However, 207 could still be a difficult to score to get a BDS seat Saveetha, even with the reduced threshold.

Applying to Saveetha Dental College and registering for the Tamil Nadu Medical Counselling are still recommended. The cutoff ranks might change, and their could be a chance if you have a solid application approach.

MBBS: No
BDS: Yes (possible)
BAMS: Yes (good chance)

ALL THE BEST !

With 308 marks in NEET 2025 and SC category, it is very difficult to get a seat in a government BDS college. Usually, SC category students need around 380 to 430 marks to get BDS in a government college.

But still, if the cut-off goes down this year or some seats remain vacant, you may have a very small chance in the mop-up or stray vacancy rounds.

You can get admission in private BDS colleges with 308 marks, especially under SC quota. Many private colleges accept students with lower scores.

You should take part in all counselling rounds. You can also think about doing B.Sc. in allied health sciences or other medical-related courses, or try NEET again next year for a better score.

With 148 marks in NEET 2025, getting a seat in a government BDS college is very unlikely because the cutoff is usually much higher. You may still have a chance at a private or deemed dental college, especially under reservation categories like OBC, SC, or ST. Some colleges allow admission around 140–150 marks, mostly in later rounds with higher fees.

Keep an eye on your state’s AYUSH or dental counselling portal. When counselling opens, apply and fill in your choices. You can also look into BAMS or BHMS courses as alternatives since their cutoff is lower.

Hello,

A BDS seat at a Government Medical College is extremely unlikely to be obtained with a NEET 2025 score of 248. Generally speaking, government BDS seats demand much higher marks, depending on the state and category. It's not a certainty, but there maybe few opportunities at some private universities, particularly those with the greater tuition or in less competitive areas.

Hello aspirant,

The Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) is expected to make an announcement shortly on the NEET 2025 counseling procedure.  With the exception of the final round, known as the institute reporting process, in which candidates must physically visit the designated institute to complete the admissions process and verify their documents, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will conduct the NEET counseling process online.
