HP Government Dental College and Hospital, Shimla

Planning around HP Government Dental College and Hospital, Shimla is difficult. The OPEN cutoff has swung by 1,26,750 ranks across 3 years of data, which is a 138% coefficient of variation. Students should keep a wider safety margin when including this college on their preference list and avoid placing it as their sole target in any rank band.

Later rounds significantly widen the entry window here. The closing rank relaxed by 1,27,181 ranks (20849%) between Round 1 and Round 3 in 2025. If you missed the Round 1 cutoff by up to 89,027 ranks, keep this college on your preference list for subsequent rounds.

Category matters significantly at this college. The J&K-MIGRANT cutoff is 5.1× the OPEN cutoff, meaning reserved category students have a dramatically wider rank window. If you belong to J&K-MIGRANT, this college is accessible at ranks that would be far out of reach for general category candidates.

Rank-based planning: AIR 32,480 or better = safe. AIR 32,480–43,307 = target. AIR 43,307–1,40,570 = reach (later rounds). Beyond AIR 1,40,570, this college is unlikely unless cutoffs relax further.
