Chettinad Dental College & Research Institute, Kancheepuram

Chettinad Dental College & Research Institute, Kancheepuram has been predictable under Tamil Nadu state counselling. The OPEN cutoff has stayed within a 175-rank band across 3 years. Students whose rank falls within this band can plan around this college with reasonable confidence.

This college filled at its tightest cutoff by Round 3 in 2025. Later rounds did not bring easier entry; if your rank is above the Round 1 cutoff, your chances here are low regardless of the round.

Category matters significantly at this college. The SCA cutoff is 27.0× the OPEN cutoff, meaning reserved category students have a dramatically wider rank window. If you belong to SCA, this college is accessible at ranks that would be far out of reach for general category candidates.

At mean cutoff AIR 982, this is a top-tier seat. Students with ranks better than AIR 751 can list it as a safe option; ranks up to AIR 1,058 make it a reach. Beyond that, skip it.
