Hi Pramik,

With a score of 85 marks in NEET 2024 , your chances of getting a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) seat under the management quota will depend on several factors, including:

- The college's location (state/private)

- Cutoffs for BDS management seats in different colleges

- Your category (General, OBC, SC, etc.)

- The number of seats available under the management quota

General Scenario:

• Private Dental Colleges:

For private colleges that offer management quota seats, a score of 85 is generally on the lower side. Most reputable private dental colleges may have a cutoff of 300+ mark s for a better chance of admission.

However, some less competitive private colleges might accept students with lower scores, so it's advisable to check the specific cutoffs for each college.

State Dental Colleges:

Each state has its own counseling process, and cutoffs can vary widely. A score of 85 is likely to be below the cutoff in top colleges but may be considered in lesser-known or newer institutions .

Good luck!
