Hello,

Having an OBC rank of 272 in Tamil Nadu MDS counselling gives you a strong opportunity to obtain a government quota seat in a dental college within the state. In NEET-MDS 2025, OBC candidates for AIQ government colleges in Tamil Nadu encountered closing ranks of approximately 311 (General) and 98 for Conservative Dentistry (OBC) in Round 1. With a rank of 272, you are included in this range, particularly for wider specializations. In state-level counselling, seats under the 85% state quota typically get filled at slightly higher ranks because of reservation advantages.

Your OBC 272 rank should be enough to secure an allotment in the first or second round, based on preferences and the availability of seats. Ensure you keep informed about important dates from the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Medical Education, submit your application promptly, and prioritize government colleges as your main choices to enhance your chances.

Hope this helps. All the best!
