DNB PDCET

With a DNB PDCET Pediatrics rank of 141, you should be able to secure a seat at a good college, as this rank is considered quite good and should allow you to choose from a range of reputable hospitals offering DNB Pediatrics, especially if you are open to considering options across different regions in India; however, the specific quality of the college will depend on your location and preferred hospital environment. 

Key points to consider:

In the second round of DNB PDCET counseling, you are generally allowed to reshuffle or rearrowly, instead of adding any new institute to your list. This policy is designed to ensure that your basic options are maintained, while you get flexibility to change the order of preference based on the updated information. However, for the most accurate and updated rules, I recommend checking the official counseling guidelines or contacting the counseling authority directly.
