Commonly asked questions
On Admissions

Q: What impact does the number of available seats have on NEET 2024 cut-offs?

A significant number of applicants compete for a limited number of seats in government medical colleges under the All India quota based on NEET exam, making admission extremely competitive.

For General AI category, the cutoffs are substantially higher than the cutoff for other All India quota seats. A considerably higher score—often in the range of 650–700 or more out of 720—is typically needed to be eligible for a place in a government medical college through the All India quota.

A candidate who scores only 2–4 marks above the cutoff is likely to enter a highly competitive zone where their prospects of getting an All India quota seat are unpredictable and dependent on a number of variables, including the distribution of their overall score and the number of seats available.

The number of candidates taking the NEET exam has a direct effect on the cut-off as well. A big candidate pool raises the level of competition and could result in higher cutoffs. The cut-off scores are impacted by the number of seats available in medical colleges.

Q: How many seats are available for various courses offered at Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore?

Courses offerred by Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore are approved by eminent Government bodies like DCI. The combined seats available for courses offered at Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore goes up to 92.

Dentistry students can earn lots of money.

Placements: From the 100 student batch, about 72% of students passed in the first attempt, so they get a job as dental surgeons assistance at a private clinic with an average salary of Rs. 21,000 per month. Some students earn up to Rs. 35,000 per month based on their clinic knowledge. After completion of graduation, you get a chance of giving the exam for a government job with a monthly salary of Rs. 75,000, but there are limited seats only as there is high competition. Various high-level companies like Tata and Reliance also recruit dental surgeons for their employees with a salary package of approximately 5 LPA, but there is high competition with limited seats, so there is a good scope.

Infrastructure: There are 100 rooms each in both boys and girls hostel with general bathroom and washroom. In the hostel, there is good cleanliness with adequate cleaning every weekend. Security is a problem sometimes, and a security guard is not at duty, and the outside person enters the hostel at night time. There is no canteen on the campus, and only a small shop is available. During the exams, when we are awake for the whole night for reading, we need to go outside to take snacks. Otherwise, the hostel is good with no problems with electricity cut-offs and water supply. CCCTV cameras are available at all corners. In the college, the library is on the third floor with about 4,000 books related to dental courses and general knowledge. There are 8 computers with a good Wi-Fi facility. All the newspapers are available in the library. There are two reading rooms on the ground floor with chairs.

Faculty: All the teachers passed tough exams of KPSC, so their theoretical and practical knowledge is good. Sometimes difficult clinic cases are discussed by teachers with a student after completion of classes. The teaching pattern is good, and they provide all the clinical cases after theoretical classes, so you understand things well. Semester exams are tough, and we get 100 marks paper for each subject with viva. The exam pattern, teaching skills and practical knowledge prepare you best for industry and market to open the clinic, earn good money and respect.

Other: I have chosen this course because I want to become a doctor with some good earnings. My many relatives are dentists, and they have good earning with respect of doctors, but they all are passed from government dental colleges with good basic practice at an internship in college. Our college conducts 2 parties every year, one on 31st December given by newcomers to all college students and doctors and one at September that is farewell given by final year students. There is a huge celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi. There is a sports week every summer with indoor games of table tennis, carrom, badminton, etc., that we enjoy a lot.

It is one of the best colleges in India.

Faculty: Our teachers are good and helpful. They are mentors. The teaching quality is up to the mark. Exams are moderate.

Other: Every year, the school holds sports and cultural weeks with many events. Students have access to the badminton court. Classrooms can be improved.
