ESIC Dental College

ESIC Dental College has been predictable under All India Quota counselling. The OPEN cutoff has stayed within a 8,346-rank band across 3 years. Students whose rank falls within this band can plan around this college with reasonable confidence.

Later rounds significantly widen the entry window here. The closing rank relaxed by 12,872 ranks (55%) between Round 1 and Round 3 in 2025. If you missed the Round 1 cutoff by up to 9,010 ranks, keep this college on your preference list for subsequent rounds.

Category matters significantly at this college. The ST cutoff is 21× the OPEN cutoff, meaning reserved category students have a dramatically wider rank window. If you belong to ST, this college is accessible at ranks that would be far out of reach for general category candidates.

Rank-based planning: AIR 23,468 or better = safe. AIR 23,468–31,290 = target. AIR 31,290–39,882 = reach (later rounds). Beyond AIR 39,882, this college is unlikely unless cutoffs relax further.
