180 marks in general in need is below the usual cut-off for direct BDS admission in private college. You will likely need to opt for management quota, seats in smaller private institutions with the total cost around 20 to 25 lakhs over the course.

Hi Pramik,

With a score of 85 marks in NEET 2024 , your chances of getting a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) seat under the management quota will depend on several factors, including:

- The college's location (state/private)

- Cutoffs for BDS management seats in different colleges

- Your category (General, OBC, SC, etc.)

- The number of seats available under the management quota

General Scenario:

• Private Dental Colleges:

For private colleges that offer management quota seats, a score of 85 is generally on the lower side. Most reputable private dental colleges may have a cutoff of 300+ mark s for a better chance of admission.

However, some less competitive private colleges might accept students with lower scores, so it's advisable to check the specific cutoffs for each college.

State Dental Colleges:

Each state has its own counseling process, and cutoffs can vary widely. A score of 85 is likely to be below the cutoff in top colleges but may be considered in lesser-known or newer institutions .

With 85 marks in NEET 2024, it will be difficult to secure a BDS seat, even under full management quota, as you may not meet the qualifying criteria for NEET. Check private dental colleges with lenient admission policies for management quota seats. You could also explore dental colleges abroad where NEET scores might not be mandatory. Alternatively, consider preparing again to improve your NEET score, as it would significantly increase your chances of admission in future attempts.

Hello,

Thank you for your question!

With 362 marks in SC category, MBBS in government colleges is difficult because SC cut-off in those states also crosses 420–450 marks. For BDS, you may have chances in some private dental colleges under state counselling. For BAMS, the chances are slightly better since Ayurvedic cut-offs are lower compared to MBBS/BDS. You should definitely apply in state counselling of Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh.

For Rajasthan, the competition is tougher because the number of colleges is limited, so with 362 in SC, MBBS is not possible. In Karnataka, because of a large number of private colleges, you may get a chance for BDS or BAMS, especially under reserved quota seats. MBBS, however, still remains difficult at 362. So your best bet is to target private BDS or BAMS colleges in Karnataka rather than Rajasthan.

Thank you!

With 351 marks in General category, MBBS and government BDS seats are not possible because the cut-offs are much higher (usually above 500 for MBBS and 420+ for BDS). For BAMS in government Ayurvedic colleges, cut-offs are also higher than 400 in general category, so that too will be very difficult. But you can get seats in private BDS or BAMS colleges at this score. For B.Sc Nursing, chances are better because nursing cut-offs in government colleges can sometimes go lower (around 300–350).
