H.P. Govt. Dental College & Hospital, Shimla

H.P. Govt. Dental College & Hospital, Shimla has been predictable under All India Quota counselling. The OPEN cutoff has stayed within a 8,023-rank band across 3 years. Students whose rank falls within this band can plan around this college with reasonable confidence.

There is a modest 1,919-rank opening between early and later rounds in 2025. Later rounds can help if you narrowly missed Round 1, but the window is tight.

Category matters significantly at this college. The OPEN-PWD cutoff is 29.0× the OPEN cutoff, meaning reserved category students have a dramatically wider rank window. If you belong to OPEN-PWD, this college is accessible at ranks that would be far out of reach for general category candidates.

Rank-based planning: AIR 27,395 or better = safe. AIR 27,395–36,527 = target. AIR 36,527–44,611 = reach (later rounds). Beyond AIR 44,611, this college is unlikely unless cutoffs relax further.
