Medicine Entrance Exam

Scoring a total of 410 marks in the NEET-2024, it really gets tougher to get through government medical colleges for an MBBS and BDS. In general category students, generally the cut-offs of Government medical colleges start from around 550 marks to 720 marks but for the students who belongs to reserved category, sometimes it is quite low still way above the score one has got here.
Cutoffs in government medical colleges according to the latest updates differ highly between category and institute. The general category candidates cutoff would have usually been around marks over 600 whereas the cutoffs for SC/ST candidates may be from a minimum of 120-130 marks. Thus, if your score is 410, you're most probably not going to get a seat in a government medical college.

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.
Again, for the state of Tamil Nadu, cutoffs can be higher than that. 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 courses in case you wish to pursue your career in medicine.

Yes, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the registration deadline for the NEET (UG) 2024 exam. Initially set to close on March 9, 2024, candidates can now fill out the application form until March 16, 2024, at 11:50 PM. This extension was implemented to accommodate candidates facing difficulties during the application process, such as issues with document uploads. However, it is important to note that NTA has indicated this is a one-time opportunity, and no further extensions will be granted for the NEET (UG) 2024 application period. Therefore, candidates are encouraged to complete their applications carefully within the new deadline. The NEET UG exam is scheduled for May 5, 2024.

Admission possibilities for BDS through scoring 124 marks in NEET 2024

It will be very hard to get admission into a BDS course with only 124 marks in NEET 2024. Generally, all government dental colleges require marks above 300 according to past year cutoff trends.

But you might still have the opportunity for some private dental colleges. Institutions like Rayat Bahra University and such similar colleges usually consider students below a certain score, as long as they have their criteria, such as a category base for reservations, etc., for flexibility in admissions.

It is also better to search for all the possible private dental colleges to know a little about their admission parameters and the respective cutoffs for the year. 

BAMS Admission in DY Patil Pune Without NEET

To gain entry into the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) programme in Dr. D.Y. Patil College of Ayurved and Research Centre, Pune, one has to know the recent admission policy.

According to the regulations provided by the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM), NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) has been made a condition in India including Maharashtra for admissions into BAMS courses.

Most private colleges will also, however, require a NEET qualification for students even applying for the management quota seats, so it will not be very likely that you could have a direct admission to BAMS in DY Patil Pune and without NEET.
