Patna Dental College

Patna Dental College has been predictable under Bihar state counselling. The OPEN cutoff has stayed within a 5,009-rank band across 3 years. Students whose rank falls within this band can plan around this college with reasonable confidence.

There is a modest 2,019-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 DQ cutoff is 27.6× the OPEN cutoff, meaning reserved category students have a dramatically wider rank window. If you belong to DQ, this college is accessible at ranks that would be far out of reach for general category candidates.

Rank-based planning: AIR 24,486 or better = safe. AIR 24,486–32,648 = target. AIR 32,648–38,036 = reach (later rounds). Beyond AIR 38,036, this college is unlikely unless cutoffs relax further.
