It's unlikely that you'll be able to get admission for BDS, BHMS, or BAMS with 185 marks and a rank of 1052142 in NEET: 

BDS

A score of 400 in NEET gives a fair chance of admission to a BDS course, especially for reserved category candidates. However, to get a seat in a government dental college, a candidate usually needs a minimum score of 450. 

BAMS

For admission to a private college offering a BAMS course, a score of 450 is usually enough. However, for government colleges, a minimum score of around 500 in NEET UG is typically required. 

Yes, it's possible to get admission into a private medical college with a low NEET score, but the cut-off marks and ranking vary by college. The cut-off depends on the college's difficulty level and the number of applicants. The admission process and fees may also vary by college ranking.
