HEY THERE!!

With a NEET MDS AIR of 2238, score of 540, and EWS category, the possibility of securing a government dental college in AIQ is extremely remote.

Reason:

• Last year as well as the year before that, government MDS seats in good colleges ended at much lower ranks (for instance, below AIR 200 for the majority of government colleges).
• Even for EWS, cutoff ranks for govt colleges have remained much lower than 2238.
• Government dental colleges take seats from the first few hundred ranks, particularly for sought-after branches and AIQ.

What you can do:

1. You can use NEET MDS College Predictor tools to see which colleges you can possibly get with your rank and category.
2. You have a higher chance in state quota counselling or in private/deemed colleges.

With AIR 2238 (EWS), you will not get a government MDS seat under All India Quota. Go for state quota or private colleges, as there are better chances there. Make use of college predictor tools for better, personalized estimates.

Hello Aspirant,

You have a plausible chance of getting a government MDS seat (All India Quota) with an NEET MDS All India Rank of 2238 with a 540 score, and specifically in the EWS category. Although cut off scores and rank for all categories do fluctuate yearly depending on the amount of seats available and the competition, EWS has generally had lenient cut offs. Following last year's trends, you can expect to have hopes in non-clinical or para-clinical branches in government dental colleges. Inching top clinical branches like Oral Surgery or Endodontics may be challenging at this rank under AIQ, but you may still get good branches or even better prospects in Round 2 or Mop-Up rounds.
It's worth going through every round of counselling and also monitoring state quota options, which can have better cutoffs based on your state domicile.
