SDM College of Dental Sciences & Hospital, Dharwad shows moderate cutoff variance under Karnataka state counselling. The 3,36,089-rank spread between its best and worst year means you should budget roughly 1,68,045 ranks of buffer below the average when listing it.
Later rounds significantly widen the entry window here. The closing rank relaxed by 2,99,488 ranks (101%) between Round 1 and Round 2 in 2025. If you missed the Round 1 cutoff by up to 2,09,642 ranks, keep this college on your preference list for subsequent rounds.
Category-wise cutoffs are relatively bunched at this college. Even the widest gap (NRI, 1.6× OPEN) is modest. Your category alone won't dramatically change your chances here compared to other colleges where the gap is wider.
This college is accessible to a wide rank range. Ranks better than AIR 5,10,093 are safe; ranks up to AIR 9,50,637 have a reasonable shot. Use it as a safety pick if your rank is in the lower half of this range.
