Hello!
With an AIR of 229494 in NEET, it will be very difficult to get a government BDS seat anywhere in India, including Karnataka, as government seats are highly competitive and usually require a much lower AIR, typically under 50,000 for general category. However, you may have a chance in private BDS colleges in Karnataka under management or NRI quota, depending on the college’s cutoffs and your category. Fees in private colleges are higher compared to government colleges.

Hello!

With a NEET rank of 8.6 lakh, chances for BDS in deemed colleges through counselling are very low because cut-offs are usually much higher. If the counsellor is saying “no chance” for round 2, they might be right based on seat trends.

Options for you:

• Check for management/NRI quota in private colleges (higher fees).
• Register for other states’ counselling in the next session.
• Consider alternative courses like BSc Nursing, BPT, or BSc Life Sciences.

It’s better to plan a backup now instead of waiting only for round 2.

Thank you,

With an AIR of 861668 in NEET 2025, the chances of getting a seat in BDS deemed colleges like Loni Pravara, Sangli BVU, Sharad Pawar Wardha, or Kim’s Karad in the first round are extremely low, which is why you didn’t receive any allotment.

Regarding Round 2, your counsellor is correct,with such a high rank, it is very unlikely that you will get a seat in these colleges, even if seats remain vacant. Also, since you did not register for other states, you are limited to the options you selected. you can use this  links for predicting your college with your rank;

Hello Rahul,

A rank like 992,696 in NEET unfortunately makes it  difficult to get admission to a BDS  seat in Rajasthan through government quota, as the cut-off ranks are much lower. Government colleges usually close admission at ranks below 2–3 lakh for BDS under the general category, and even for reserved categories, the closing ranks are far below your current position. However, you might still have options in private dental colleges under management quota, where admissions are based more on eligibility (qualifying NEET) rather than rank. Keep in mind that management quota fees are significantly higher around 2.5– 4 lakh per year for BDS in Rajasthan. You may also consider dropping a year and preparing again to improve your rank. Thank you,

Hello ,

with a NEET rank of 6.55 lakh in Maharashtra, the chances of getting a government BDS seat are extremely low because the cutoff for BDS in government colleges is usually within 2–3 lakh ranks. However, you may find seats in private or deemed universities, especially in the mop-up round, if budget is not an issue. Also, dental colleges in other states with lower demand might be an option.

Thank you for your question.

With a rank of 655,726 in NEET, it is very difficult to get a BDS seat in Maharashtra. Government dental colleges usually close at much better ranks, and even many private colleges close before your rank. Only a few private colleges in past years have admitted students with ranks close to yours, but the chances are still very low.

If you’re open to BDS, your chances of admission are higher, even in good private colleges. For MBBS, you may need to wait till mop-up or stray vacancy rounds in some private/deemed universities.

With a state merit number of 11715, getting a BDS seat in Pacific Dental College and Hospital through state counselling in the first round might be a bit difficult, especially if you're from the general category, as the initial cutoffs usually stay lower in early rounds. However, if you belong to a reserved category or if the college has a relatively higher intake, you may still have a chance depending on the seat availability that year. Even if it doesn’t happen in the first round, there’s still a good chance in the second round, so don’t lose hope and make sure to participate in all the rounds of counselling.

With an AIR of 11,92,746, getting BDS admission in Pune under SEBC + Defence 1 category is very unlikely, as cutoffs generally close around 2–3 lakh AIR for SEBC and much higher for Defence category.

Even private colleges through management quota have cutoffs around 7–8 lakh AIR. You may need to explore lower-tier private dental colleges in Maharashtra or other states. Stay updated on SEBC quota legal decisions as it may affect counselling rounds.

Hello aspirant,

If you’re not interested in pursuing BDS, it’s advisable to remove BDS colleges from your choice list. If a BDS seat is allotted and you do not join, it may affect your counselling chances in subsequent rounds. With a NEET score of 462 and BCM rank of 425, you stand a fair chance to get MBBS seats in self-financed medical colleges under the BCM quota, especially in mop-up rounds. Review and revise your preferences before locking choices to avoid unwanted allotments.
