I have 262 marks in NEET. Can I get a BDS or BAMS seat in Karnataka? I belong to 3B category.

<div dir="ltr"><p>It is unlikely that you will be able to get a BDS or BAMS seat in Karnataka with 262 marks in NEET. The cutoff marks for BDS and BAMS in Karnataka are usually much higher than 262 marks.</p><p>The following table shows the cutoff marks for BDS and BAMS in Karnataka for the 2022-23 academic year:</p><div><div><div><div><table><tbody><tr><th>Category</th><th>BDS</th><th>BAMS</th></tr><tr><td>General</td><td>400</td><td>350</td></tr><tr><td>OBC</td><td>375</td><td>325</td></tr><tr><td>SC/ST</td><td>350</td><td>300</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div>&nbsp;</div>&lt;!-----&gt;</div></div></div><p>As you can see, the cutoff marks for BDS and BAMS are much higher for general category students than for OBC and SC/ST students. However, even if you belong to a reserved category, it is still unlikely that you will be able to get a seat with 262 marks.</p><p>The reason for this is that the number of seats available for BDS and BAMS in Karnataka is limited, and the number of students who appear for NEET is very large. In 2022, over 17Lacsstudents appeared for NEET, and only around 60,000 students were able to get a seat in a government medical college.</p><p>If you are still interested in pursuing a career in dentistry or Ayurveda, I recommend that you consider other options, such as:</p><ul><li>Applying to a private medical college. The fees for private medical colleges are usually higher than the fees for government medical colleges, but the quality of education is usually comparable.</li><li>Taking a gap year and preparing for NEET again. This will give you an opportunity to improve your score and increase your chances of getting a seat in a government medical college.</li><li>Pursuing a Diplomain dentistry or Ayurveda. This will allow you to start working as a dentist or Ayurvedic practitioner without having to complete a full-time degree.</li></ul><p>I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.</p></div>
