Hello Aspirant,

With 132 marks in NEET UG and belonging to the SC category, your chances of getting a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) seat in a government dental college are very low, even under the SC reservation.

Here is Why:

  • The qualifying cutoff for SC in NEET UG 2024 was around 116–118 marks (40th percentile), so you are eligible for counselling.

  • However, government BDS colleges usually require higher scores, even for reserved categories. In SC category, the cutoff for BDS government colleges usually starts from around 350–420+ marks depending on the state.

  • With 132 marks, you can explore private BDS colleges, especially through state quota counselling or management/NRI quota seats.

  • Some deemed universities or private colleges may also offer BDS seats at this score, but the fees will be higher.

All the best.

No, with 132 marks in NEET, it's highly unlikely to secure a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) seat in a government college, especially for an SC category candidate. While 132 marks may qualify you for NEET, the cutoff for BDS is typically much higher.

Actually NEET cutoff score for BDS varies each year, but generally, it's significantly higher than 132 marks, even for reserved categories like SC. For example, the NEET 2025 cutoff for SC, ST, and OBC categories is expected to be between 143 and 113.

While reserved category candidates (like SC) have a lower cutoff than the general category, 132 marks are still likely to be below the cutoff for BDS in most government colleges.

But dont loose hope If you are determined to pursue a medical field, you might consider other options like physiotherapy (BPT), or other AYUSH courses (like BHMS, BAMS) with these marks.

Hello aspirant,

Although your score is in the range of cutoff marks required for admission in dental college, but you will not be able to get seat in a government college. Some private colleges having lower cutoff might offer you admission.
