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.

Hello Praveen,

With a NEET MDS score of 310 and belonging to the OBC category, you have cleared the qualifying cutoff (which is usually around 227 for OBC). However, getting a seat in top government dental colleges may be difficult with this score.

Here’s what you can consider:

• You may get a seat in private dental colleges under the OBC or management quota.

• Some state quota government colleges with lower cutoffs may offer chances depending on your state’s counselling process.

• Look for deemed universities and private institutions where cutoff trends are slightly more flexible.

• Participate in both All India and state-level counselling for better chances.

• Keep backup options ready in specializations or lower-demand branches.

You are eligible to apply for counselling. Final allotment will depend on cutoffs, seat availability, and college-wise rank trends.
