Hello,

The BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) cutoff in 2024 for the BC-E category differed by state and depended on whether the application was made under the All India Quota (AIQ) or State Quota. Typically, for reserved categories such as BC-E, candidates with scores ranging from 430 to 490 in NEET 2024 had a good opportunity to secure a government BDS seat, particularly under the state quota. In more competitive states, a slightly higher score might have been necessary. For private colleges, the needed NEET score may be lower, but the tuition costs will be higher.

Hope this helps. All the best!
