Jamia Millia Islamia

As a central university with a small BDS intake, Jamia's NEET cutoff has historically been competitive given strong demand for its subsidised fees. Exact cutoff ranks vary by counselling round and category; confirm current-year figures with Jamia admissions.

Admission to BDS at Jamia Millia Islamia 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 Jamia Millia Islamia 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 Jamia Millia Islamia are filled through NEET-UG counselling in two quotas:

• •State Quota (~85% of seats) — through Delhi state counselling, for Delhi-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, Jamia Millia Islamia 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 Delhi counselling and MCC portals for current-year figures, or use the College Predictor to estimate your chances.
