Hello Nikhil,

Yes, you can get admission to a BDS course under the general category by obtaining the NEET qualifying marks. However, getting a seat in a government or reputed private dental college usually requires a higher score than just the qualifying cutoff. The qualifying cutoff for the general category in NEET is around 50th percentile . For 2024, it was 137 marks . If your score is closer to the cutoff, you may have better chances in private or deemed universities rather than government colleges.

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

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