Scoring 110/720 in NEET will make the candidate highly unlikely to be considered for a government BDS college. In general, trends indicate that candidates who are expected to score below or around 450 will most probably be at the periphery of government seat competition.

The highest government dental colleges need much more scores than that above 110, sometimes in excess of 500 points to secure admission. Consequently, at this score now, you are very unlikely to get admission in any government BDS colleges. Private dental colleges are a possible option or some other c

With a NEET score of 393, admission to BDS or MBBS programs may be challenging, especially in government colleges.
BDS Admission
- Government Colleges: Typically require at least 450 marks.
- Private Colleges: A score in the 50th percentile (unreserved category) may be sufficient.
MBBS Admission
- A score of 393 is on the lower side, but some private medical colleges or institutions with higher fee structures might accept candidates with this score.
It is advisable to participate in NEET counseling and explore options in private colleges or deemed universities. Additionally, you can consider management quota seats if financially feasible.

ST category: 450-470 marks.
Since these cutoffs vary from year to year, they depend on factors such as the number of candidates and the number of seats available for each course, the level of difficulty of NEET.
