Hello,

For All India counselling of MDS, the cut-off for SC/ST/OBC category was 227 marks (40th percentile) . Later, it was revised to 168 marks (20.137 percentile) to fill vacant seats.

So, an SC candidate needs at least 168 marks in NEET MDS to be eligible for government colleges through All India counselling.

Hope it helps !

Hi ,

The authenticity of the revised cut-off for MDS 2025 can only be confirmed through the official notification from the exam conducting authority, usually the National Board of Examinations (NBE) or the Dental Council of India, depending on the exam. Sometimes, rumors or unofficial sources publish fake cut-offs, so it’s very important to verify from the official website or a trusted government portal. If there is an official notice, it will include details such as the new qualifying marks, category-wise changes, and reasons for revision. Also, any genuine change in cut-off is usually followed by an updated counseling schedule.  Always double-check the official announcement to avoid misinformation.

Thank you for query,

If we have NEET MDS All India Rank (AIR) of 1180, you have a good chance of getting a government seat in MDS counseling either under the All India 50% quota or in the state counseling depend on the category and the branch you want.

Nevertheless, the top clinical departments such as Oral Surgery, Endodontics, Orthodontics might set higher in the best government colleges, still, with such rank, you can count on the possibilities of:

Mid and high level condiment dentistry colleges

The less competitive arms-Para-clinical branches

Reserved category seat (where available)

Ensure to attend AIQ counseling through MCC as well as personal state counseling because, depending on the states, different seats are available and different cutoffs exist.

Hello

• The NEET MDS 2025 cut-off was released on May 15.

• General/EWS need around 261 marks to qualify.

• SC/ST/OBC candidates need around 227 marks.

• As of now, no revised (lowered) cut-off has been announced.

• Keep checking the MCC or NBEMS websites for any updates.

With a NEET MDS rank of 1,172, your chances of getting admission to Dr. Harvansh Singh Judge Institute of Dental Sciences, Chandigarh, are very strong under the All India Quota. The institute’s closing rank for general category candidates in recent years has been well beyond your rank, making you eligible for consideration. While top clinical branches like Oral Surgery, Orthodontics, and Endodontics may be highly competitive and close at lower ranks, you still have a good chance of getting clinical specialties such as Periodontology, Prosthodontics, or Public Health Dentistry. Final allotment will depend on your category, the choices filled, and seat availability during the counselling rounds. Overall, your rank positions you well for admission into a reputable government dental college like HS Judge with a clinical branch.

In Tamil Nadu, there are around 30 dental colleges that offer MDS programs, including three government dental colleges. Seats under the government quota are divided between the All India Quota which is 15 percent and the State Quota which is 50 percent.

The number of government dental colleges offering MDS is three.
Government quota seats available are thirty-one.
State quota seats in private colleges are one hundred thirty-three.
The total number of seats under government and state quotas for MDS admissions through Tamil Nadu counselling is one hundred sixty-four.

In NEET MDS, the All India 50% category rank is your rank among candidates of the same category (like OBC, SC, ST) only for AIQ 50% seats. It helps in category-wise seat allotment during counseling. The lower the rank, the better your chances in your category.

If your payment for an MDS college predictor has been deducted but the service isn't showing the colleges, then the team will check. No need to worry. Or you can also check with your bank.

Don't worry, if the payment is done we will surely provide the services,

Thank you!!

With 211 marks in NEET MDS 2025, getting Endodontics in government colleges is very unlikely due to high cutoffs. However, you may have a chance in some private colleges or deemed universities where the competition is lower. Keep an eye on counselling rounds and management quota seats.
