Hello Aspirant,

Knowing that the NEET cut-off varies year to year, we cannot really keep our eyes fixed on one score. As per last year's cut-off ( 2021) candidates with open category and rank till 24531 were selected in Round 1 counseling and ranks till 34807 in Mop up round.


Assuming you are trying through 15% All India Quota for Government Medical College the cut-off for NEET 2021 was ranked 26769 for the OBC category which corresponds to 500+ marks and if we will see the cut-off marks of 2017, it was ranked 10920( General ) which corresponds to marks of 450 out of 720.

And yes if you are OBC category you can easily occupy a self-finance seat for a Bachelor of Dental Sciences. But keep in check the counseling process stepwise same as it's done when applying for Government colleges. Some of the great Dental colleges you can apply according to my recommendation  are listed below :

1. Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences

2. Jaipur Dental College

3. Kalinga Institute of Dental Sciences

You can visit the official page of these colleges for further clarification.

And if you want to get through Government Colleges you can try through 85% state Quota, your chances will be higher through state Quota.

Further, I will recommend you use the NEET college predictor to check your BDS chances in Deemed Universities and state Quota seats based on your NEET AIR.
