Government Dental College, Ahmedabad

As Gujarat's premier government dental college, closing ranks for the state quota and AIQ have historically required scores well above the median BDS-qualifying cutoff. Exact cutoff ranks vary by counselling round, category, and quota; confirm current-year figures on the MCC/Gujarat counselling portals.

Admission to BDS at Government Dental College, Ahmedabad requires a valid, qualifying NEET-UG score. NEET qualification is defined by percentile, not a fixed score — the qualifying percentile is fixed every year, while the equivalent raw score moves with exam difficulty.

Qualifying NEET only makes you eligible — it does not guarantee a seat. The actual closing rank for a BDS seat at Government Dental College, Ahmedabad depends on your category, the counselling quota, the number of seats, and how many higher-ranked candidates pick this college ahead of you (explained below). Always confirm the current-year qualifying score on the official NTA NEET result.

BDS seats at Government Dental College, Ahmedabad are filled through NEET-UG counselling in two quotas:

• •State Quota (~85% of seats) — through Gujarat state counselling, for Gujarat-domicile candidates.
• •All India Quota (~15% of seats) — through MCC (Medical Counselling Committee), open to candidates nationwide.

Counselling runs in multiple rounds — Round 1 → Round 2 → Mop-up → Stray Vacancy. Closing ranks loosen in later rounds as higher-ranked candidates settle elsewhere, so a rank that misses an early round can still convert to a seat later.

As a government dental college, Government Dental College, Ahmedabad usually has the most competitive closing ranks (lowest ranks / highest scores) because of its heavily subsidised fees — state-quota seats typically close at stronger ranks than the All India Quota. Exact closing ranks change every year by category and round; check the Gujarat counselling and MCC portals for current-year figures, or use the College Predictor to estimate your chances.
