Dear aspirant,

With a NEET score of 174 it's very unlikely to secure a BDS seat in a government college , and your chances in private colleges are also limited , especially if you're aiming for good institutions. Aiming for a higher score in future attempts can be helpful. Even if you are from a reserved category, while some private colleges may have lower cutoffs, 174 is still a very low score and may not be sufficient for most reputable private dental colleges. If you are a general category student, then the chances are extremely low, so it will be better to retake NEET with better preparation.

Thank you.
