Pushpagiri College of Dental Science, Thiruvalla

Planning around Pushpagiri College of Dental Science, Thiruvalla is difficult. The OPEN cutoff has swung by 28,987 ranks across 3 years of data, which is a 61% 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 9,583 ranks (30%) between Round 1 and Round 3 in 2025. If you missed the Round 1 cutoff by up to 6,708 ranks, keep this college on your preference list for subsequent rounds.

Category-wise cutoffs are relatively bunched at this college. Even the widest gap (OBC, 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 16,634 or better = safe. AIR 16,634–22,179 = target. AIR 22,179–45,560 = reach (later rounds). Beyond AIR 45,560, this college is unlikely unless cutoffs relax further.
