Understanding past trends of NEET MDS college allotment can help candidates predict their chances of securing a seat in desired colleges. Below are insights based on historical data and recent patterns of NEET MDS rankwise college allotment:
Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, Delhi requires ranks below 100–200 for clinical specialisations like Orthodontics or Oral Surgery (General category).
Postgraduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Rohtak: Ranks below 300 for top branches.
Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College, Kolkata: Ranks around 200–400 for clinical seats.
Government Dental College, Chennai: Ranks below 500 for the General category in popular specialisations.
Candidates with ranks between 500 and 1,000 may secure seats in less competitive specialisations (e.g., Oral Pathology, Public Health Dentistry) or in government colleges in states with more seats, like Tamil Nadu or Karnataka.
Reserved category candidates have a higher chance of securing clinical seats in this rank range.
Candidates with ranks above 1,000 are unlikely to secure government seats in the General category but can opt for private or deemed universities like Manipal College of Dental Sciences or SRM Dental College.
Specialisations like Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Manipal had closing ranks around 1,500–2,000 in 2024 (General category).
The rank wise college allotment for NEET MDS is done through the MCC’s counselling for 50% All India Quota seats, deemed/central universities, ESIC, and AFMC seats, while state counselling authorities conduct the remaining 50% state quota seats.
The NEET MDS rank wise college allotment process involves multiple rounds, including Round 1, Round 2, a mop-up round, and stray vacancy rounds to fill vacant seats. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of the counselling and seat allotment process:
NBEMS releases the NEET MDS results, including scores, AIR, and category ranks. Based on the result of NEET MDS 2025, a merit list is prepared, comprising the All India Rank (AIR), 50% AIQ rank, and state quota rank, which determines eligibility for counselling
Candidates must register on the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) for AIQ counselling or respective state counselling portals for state quota seats. Registration requires details such as the NEET MDS application number, roll number, and educational qualifications.
Candidates select their preferred colleges and specialisations from the available options. The choices must be locked before the deadline; otherwise, the system automatically locks the preferences.
The seat allotment result is published as a PDF, listing the candidate’s name, AIR, allotted college, specialisation, and category. Candidates must download the allotment letter for admission. The MCC or state authorities allocate seats based on:
NEET MDS Rank: Higher ranks secure better colleges and specialisations.
Choices Filled: Seats are allotted according to the order of preferences.
Seat Availability: Limited seats in top colleges mean higher competition.
Reservation Criteria: Categories like SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD have specific quotas.
On Question asked by student community
With a NEET MDS rank of 1,172, your chances of getting admission to Dr. Harvansh Singh Judge Institute of Dental Sciences, Chandigarh, are very strong under the All India Quota. The institute’s closing rank for general category candidates in recent years has been well beyond your rank, making you eligible for consideration. While top clinical branches like Oral Surgery, Orthodontics, and Endodontics may be highly competitive and close at lower ranks, you still have a good chance of getting clinical specialties such as Periodontology, Prosthodontics, or Public Health Dentistry. Final allotment will depend on your category, the choices filled, and seat availability during the counselling rounds. Overall, your rank positions you well for admission into a reputable government dental college like HS Judge with a clinical branch.

In NEET MDS, the All India 50% category rank is your rank among candidates of the same category (like OBC, SC, ST) only for AIQ 50% seats. It helps in category-wise seat allotment during counseling. The lower the rank, the better your chances in your category.
With 211 marks in NEET MDS 2025, getting Endodontics in government colleges is very unlikely due to high cutoffs. However, you may have a chance in some private colleges or deemed universities where the competition is lower. Keep an eye on counselling rounds and management quota seats.
With an AIQ rank of 1188 in NEET MDS 2025, getting a government seat is unlikely, especially if you are in the General category. Usually, government seats go to candidates with ranks below 1000. However, you can try private or deemed universities where seats may be available for your rank. Look for different specializations and colleges to increase your chances of admission.
