What is SC (Scheduled Caste)?
The Scheduled Caste (SC) category under All India Quota has a 15% reservation. This covers all communities listed under the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order as recognised by the central government. Candidates must produce a Caste Certificate issued by a competent authority (District Magistrate, Additional District Magistrate, Collector, Deputy Commissioner, or Sub-Divisional Magistrate). No creamy layer criterion applies to SC candidates. SC candidates from any state can apply for AIQ seats at any college across India without a domicile requirement.
The SC (Scheduled Caste) category has cutoff data available across 51 dental colleges in All India Quota. This data covers 1 year of counselling from 2025. Closing ranks for this category range from 1,44,199 (most competitive) to 2,76,059 (least competitive).
