Best Dental Science College, Madurai has been predictable under Tamil Nadu state counselling. The OPEN cutoff has stayed within a 2,025-rank band across 3 years. Students whose rank falls within this band can plan around this college with reasonable confidence.
Later rounds significantly widen the entry window here. The closing rank relaxed by 10,885 ranks (95%) between Round 1 and Round 3 in 2025. If you missed the Round 1 cutoff by up to 7,619 ranks, keep this college on your preference list for subsequent rounds.
Category-wise cutoffs are relatively bunched at this college. Even the widest gap (ST, 1.5× 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 16,202 or better = safe. AIR 16,202–21,602 = target. AIR 21,602–24,569 = reach (later rounds). Beyond AIR 24,569, this college is unlikely unless cutoffs relax further.
