Can I get admission to BDS at any government college with 291 marks in NEET? I am in the SC category.

<p>No, a score of 291 in NEET is unlikely to be enough to get admission to a government dental college for a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program:&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Cutoff scores: </strong>The cutoff scores for admission to government dental colleges are typically at least 450 marks.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Category-wise cutoffs: </strong>For the SC/ST/OBC category, the NEET 2024 cutoff percentile is 40th.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Increased competition: </strong>The number of applicants for these courses has increased significantly, which means the competition is expected to be even more intense.&nbsp;</p><p>If you scored 300 marks, you may be able to apply through the paid seat quota. This option allows for admission based on payment of a higher fee.&nbsp;</p>
