Hello,
Being from K to secure a Kerala and having a NEET 2025 score of 303 makes it extremely difficult to secure an MBBS seat in a government college because of high cutoffs. Private medical college and dentistry colleges do offer opportunities, nevertheless, particularly with regard to management and NRI quotas.
Private colleges:
You can also explore outside the Kerala like Bharati Vidyapeeth (Pune), SRM Medical college (Chennai) etc. through NRI/management quota.
BDS
A 303 score greatly increases your chances of getting a BDS at private dental colleges. Numerous private dental colleges in Kerala like:
Reister in KEAM counselling for state quota seats in private colleges. Also keep an eye on BDS counselling.
hi,
Yes, with a NEET score of 317 and being from Bihar with OBC category, you still have chances to get a seat. For BDS, getting a government seat may be difficult because the cutoffs are usually higher. But you can try for private BDS colleges, especially in the mop-up and spot rounds.You can get a seat in private BAMS colleges in Bihar, and maybe in semi-government colleges if cutoffs drop this year.
Unfortunately, even under the defence quota, it is quite tough to get a seed in BAMS or BDS in Uttar Pradesh's Government College with 81 need 2025 scores and an all India rank of 677352.
According to Neet counselling guidelines, an applicant must pass need by achieving a score higher than the minimum cut off in order to be eligible for admission to BAMS or BDS. The OBC/SC/ST qualifying cutoff has been between 160 and 137 in recent years, where as the general qualifying cutoff has been between 137 and 147.
Technically, you are not eligible for admission to courses that need NEET qualification, even through defence quota, because your score of 81 may not satisfy the minimal qualifying percentage.
Dear student,
If you’ve scored 199 in NEET 2025 and your budget is under Rs. 13 lakh, you do have decent chances for a BDS seat in private colleges, especially in Kerala and Coimbatore .
In Coimbatore , colleges like Sri Ramakrishna Dental College and RVS Dental College offer BDS courses with total fees around Rs. 12.5 lakh. With a NEET score of 199, you’re eligible for admission under the management quota , and these colleges usually consider such scores.
If you're a female candidate, Vivekanandha Dental College for Women (near Namakkal) is another good option. Their fees are often lower, around Rs. 1 lakh per year.
In Kerala , most private BDS colleges have fees between Rs. 1.5 to 3 lakh per year. That adds up to about Rs. 7–12 lakh for the full course. Many students with scores like yours (199) have successfully secured seats in the past, especially under the state quota counselling (via CEE Kerala ).
Make sure to apply for Kerala NEET counselling and Tamil Nadu state counselling (if eligible). Choose private colleges that fit your budget and list them wisely in your preference order.
A rank of 614974 in NEET is generally considered too low for securing a government BDS seat, especially in All India Quota (AIQ) or in popular states. The competition for government BDS seats is very high, and typically, ranks within the top 40,000-50,000 are needed.
For top government BDS colleges, ranks around 12,000 are often needed, while ranks above 25,000 might secure seats in middle-tier or private colleges.
Ranks beyond 40,000-50,000 are generally considered less likely to secure a government BDS seat under AIQ or in competitive states, though some opportunities might exist in specific states or for reserved categories.
With a rank of 614974, exploring options like private BDS colleges or other medical courses (BAMS, BHMS, etc.) might be more realistic.
Thank you!!
Indeed, if you belong from SC category and have 235 marks, you have a good chance of getting into private dental college, particularly if you wish to enroll in an affordable or less well - known college. Seat in government colleges are hard to come by, but private colleges offer opportunities.

With an All India Rank of 85,400 in NEET 2025, your chances of getting a BDS seat in a government dental college depend heavily on your category, state of domicile, and whether you're applying under the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) or 85% State Quota.
If you belong to the Unreserved (General) category, it is difficult to secure a seat in government dental colleges through AIQ, as the cutoff usually closes by around 55,000–60,000 rank. Even in State Quota for general candidates, most government dental colleges tend to close by 65,000–70,000, though it can vary depending on how competitive the year is and the number of applicants in your state.
If you belong to a reserved category like SC, ST, or OBC, especially under the State Quota, your chances are significantly better. In many states like Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh, SC candidates have secured BDS seats in government colleges at ranks above 80,000 in the second or mop-up rounds. States with a higher number of dental colleges and reserved seats tend to have more flexibility in cutoffs for SC/ST categories.
Also, the availability of seats and number of applicants in a particular state impacts the final cutoff. For example, in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, government dental seats for SC candidates have remained open till around 90,000–95,000 rank in previous years, especially in later rounds like mop-up or stray vacancy rounds.
You should definitely participate in both All India and your State Quota counseling, stay active throughout all rounds, and be open to less sought-after colleges. Also, consider looking at government-aided or semi-government colleges where the fee is affordable and ranks go lower than central institutions.
Hope this helps!

Dear student, With 335 marks in NEET 2025 under the OBC category , your chances of getting a government BDS seat in Jharkhand are very low.
While you’ve cleared the NEET qualifying marks for OBC (around 113–143), admission to government dental colleges usually requires much higher scores. In recent years, government BDS seats in Jharkhand have gone to candidates with 400–450+ marks , even under the OBC quota.
Your score does make you eligible for counselling, but it’s unlikely to be enough for a government BDS seat. You can still explore private dental colleges in Jharkhand or other states where cutoffs are lower.
