Your NEET score at 203 marks out of 720 provides scarce opportunities to win admission to most reputable government and established private medical colleges. The standard cutoff levels for general section candidates to enter government BDS programs typically span from 600 to 650 marks. The management quota cutoff marks in private institutions are generally between 300 and 350 out of 720 but these seats face competition due to their limited availability. The lowest scores to qualify for BDS admission exceed 203 even when reserved category candidates benefit from 50 to 100 marks of relaxation. You should consider other admission pathways

No, you wont'nt be able to get a government seat for BDS with 191 marks in NEET despite of you belonging to SC catagory. Cutoffs for government colleges are usually high due to high demand and low availability of seats. Although you have chances of getting a private college, and that too, a normal one. To get admission to a government dental college, you'll need to score at least 300 marks in NEET for the SC category. You can check for expected colleges from Shiksha's college predictor tool.
