Mar Baselios Dental College, Kothamangalam

Planning around Mar Baselios Dental College, Kothamangalam is difficult. The OPEN cutoff has swung by 25,614 ranks across 3 years of data, which is a 48% 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.

There is a modest 5,674-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-wise cutoffs are relatively bunched at this college. Even the widest gap (ST, 0.8× OPEN) is modest. Your category alone won't dramatically change your chances here compared to other colleges where the gap is wider.

Rank-based planning: AIR 18,905 or better = safe. AIR 18,905–25,207 = target. AIR 25,207–46,380 = reach (later rounds). Beyond AIR 46,380, this college is unlikely unless cutoffs relax further.
