NEET Cutoff (Indicative)
As Puducherry's premier government dental college, closing ranks have historically required scores above the median BDS-qualifying cutoff. Exact cutoff ranks vary by counselling round, category, and quota; confirm current-year figures on the MCC/Puducherry counselling portals.
NEET-UG Qualifying Cutoffs (Category-wise)
Admission to BDS at Mahatma Gandhi P.G. Institute of Dental Sciences 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.
| Category | Minimum qualifying percentile |
|---|---|
| General / EWS | 50th percentile |
| OBC / SC / ST | 40th percentile |
| General-PwD | 45th percentile |
| SC / ST / OBC-PwD | 40th percentile |
Qualifying NEET only makes you eligible — it does not guarantee a seat. The actual closing rank for a BDS seat at Mahatma Gandhi P.G. Institute of Dental Sciences 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.
Counselling Quotas, Rounds & Closing-Rank Guidance
BDS seats at Mahatma Gandhi P.G. Institute of Dental Sciences are filled through NEET-UG counselling in two quotas:
- •State Quota (~85% of seats) — through Pondicherry state counselling, for Pondicherry-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, Mahatma Gandhi P.G. Institute of Dental Sciences 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 Pondicherry counselling and MCC portals for current-year figures, or use the College Predictor to estimate your chances.
